      This is an odd tangent you guys went off on... but I will join in. Not too far from me is a "museum" for 1/4 or 1/5 scale model trains. The ones that grown adults can ride on. If I remember right there are ~30 miles of track associated with this and they have people coming from all over the world to watch these trains go by and to test new designs on a "realistic" surface. I can't remember what it is called I will do some searching.

          That's up there in G scale, that's what it's called in Europe, no idea what it's called in the US, maybe the same.

          I'm not really into model trains but my grandfather is (not calling you guys old) he doesn't do the internet but he saw it on the news and wanted me to look it up. We were planning on going this summer, now I can't seem to remember the name.

            @coliver Sorry I took too long to edit my previous post, I included a link to a list of grand scale trains, perhaps what you're looking for can be found there.

            PS lol, it does make me feel old, at model shops in that section everyone else has at least 20 years on me, or is a small child.

                Not sure, my grandfather saw it on the news and wants to go this summer at some point. I will have to ask him next time I see him. I can't for the life of me remember the name.

                  My daughter (6) was literally jumping up and down today because her new math textbook arrived and she mad her mom promise to do math class today (they are doing it right now.) She loves her math class and this is her second textbook in the series. She loves math and learning.

                    She also came up to my "office" and put on her most sweet face and asked if we could do "computer class" today (meaning programming.) And gave me a kiss on the cheek when I said that we would make time to do that this evening.

                      I have the same thing happen at least twice a week.

                        Sorry, meant for that to work, lol. That site is often used for testing of the NodeBB updates so it breaks more than the others.

                        Oh lawd, you don't have a staging environment? Those poor model trains 😞

                        We do now 🙂
