Parenting rant 

@toplesstopics
>>Kids have been psycho since we got home from the mall, five hours ago. Matthew insists he didn't give them any sugar, they're just being naturally chaotic. Matthew went to bed an hour early, so I'm stuck alone suffering through another hour still until it's finally late enough to put them to bed.
<< Anxiety? Sleep reversion? Could be a handful of things.

>>They also have a massive amount of legos (collected over the years) yet they will both constantly fight over the same five or six. Right now they're fixated on a long thin red pole piece. That's it. One Lego, out of hundreds, that they won't stop stealing back and forth from each other.
<< Sounds like typical siblings. A third would take them all regardless of fair share.

>>I'm so tired. When will they ever stop being this wild? Oh haha I just remembered, never.
<< Adults do it all the time. You're just at an advantage with the current time point.

>>This will be my life, for the rest of my life.
<< At least it's someone you love and not someone you work with.

Consider that a halfway point between the full ante and a genetic experiment from someone's garage.

Before that time, you had to be wealthy enough to learn how to read and write. Paper and ink cost as much as cellphones do today. The poor and to walk around and yell at each other- half the time they were drunk- most of the time cranky from poor dental hygiene.

Don't quote me on this because I'm not an overpriced published encyclopedia.

I've met several- it's never been satisfying. Then again, it could have been circumstantial each time.

@damien
I would love it if owners would try harder to reverse-engineer them :rickdrink:

>> With links, though, you can check the domain they go to is trusted before following them.
<< Although the domain is trusted, the page could be bad. It happens.

>>It's been a while since I scanned a QR code, but they just go, don't they?  That's what bothers me.  I want to see the destination before travelling.
<< Yes- but there are some apps that ask/check first before opening in-browser. But that's just the aforementioned scenario with extra steps.
