Surly Dad Thread
Daughter had her regional cross country meet (District champs two years running) yesterday. The team placed 5th out of 25ish teams. Top four advance to the state meet, so they missed out on that. After the meet, she was bawling her eyes out because two members of the fourth team finished just ahead of her. I tried to explain how the scoring works and that if she had passed them, it wouldn't have changed the results in the final tally. I know, its not about facts and logic. I also hugged her and said I was proud of her (she PRed). Still full of drama and angst this morning. However... 36 hours later, she's over it. On the way home earlier she told me her plan to win homecoming queen her senior year (she a soph this year): Make friends with all the freshman at the beginning of year, instead of ignoring them for two months and then trying to get their vote the week of homecoming.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
I remember about 10 or 15 years ago when they switched having a deposit box for "local" vs "out of town" to the current system. Before the switch, people could sometimes get their mail the same day it was dropped at the post office, or by the next day at the latest. Now it takes three to four days.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
when my daughter was little, she liked to play "Free Street." I would pretend to shop, and when I asked how much whatever I was buying cost, she would say somethingl along the lines of 'Daddy, everything is free on Free Street." And I would have to pretend to be amazed by such a thing. Then everytime we played, Free Street would get even crazier, and if I bought one car for free, I would get a second car for free also. Then it would escalate all the way up to I get a million dollars back in change. IIRC, she was about four years old at the time.

The France Thread
I think the first class people boarded with everyone else. Or if they had their own entrance/boarding door, then at least one large family got fucked. Once you get to your seats, its fine. Its just getting through the tight, smelly, hot logjam to get to your seats that fucking sucks. And you're having to deal with luggage also. However, only rode it once in my life, so maybe I was just unlucky that day. Also, it was early July, so tourist season.
