I talk to my nephew about once a week. He likes to talk about Anime and video games, while I try to steer the conversation towards current events and politics. One point I made was how important it is to vote, and that elections have consequences. The example I used was the war in Ukraine. If Trump had won the 2020 election, the United States, and probably the rest of the world, would not have lifted a finger to help Ukraine fight the Russian invasion. Putin most likely would have taken over Ukraine.
It's amazing the things that we see in our life times. For me, The Challenger disaster, 9/11, Halley's Comet, no WMD's, OJ being acquitted, the country's first black president, the Internet, billionaires buying Supreme Court Justices, AI, and everything that goes with Trump. It's fascinating.
Also, the room rebuild is coming along. I started by cleaning everything, since my house collects a ton of dust. I'm rearranging the furniture to accommodate the new computer. After my brother told me about some breaking news regarding the Wagner Group, now in Russia, I hurried to get my networking back online.
I put the news on, and continued working. For more room, I moved my mom's china cabinet out, which opened up the space a lot.
