We usually talk about our progress in our respective CyberSecurity programs during our Sunday night call. This time, we skipped it. I'm sure we'll catch up on it in the next call.
I forgot to mention that the doctor wanted to test his speech development (at that age, he should have some words that are understandable without translation), so the doctor took a book out of Grandson_5's hand. GS5 loudly exclaimed "No! Mine!" The doctor said his speech is completely normal.
(Another comparison: Grandson_4, when the doctor was checking him for the size of his vocabulary, said "Well, actually I already do this". Both mother and doctor laughed. Grandson_5, during a similar test, was asked about his interests, and told the doctor about cirro-stratus clouds. I think they're all somewhat above those guidelines, partly because we read several books to them each day, including some books that delve into specific subjects like weather, space, and various kinds of animals. For example, the 3 and 5 year olds both use the words "carnivore" and "predator" when talking about animals.)
Now that he's older and taller, his weight is 25 pounds ... just under the 50th percentile. Clothes ... he just about fits GS4's clothes, except for height.
(By way of comparison, based on their most recent weigh-ins, GS4's weight was around the 10th percentile for boys his age, meaning that clothes are almost always too wide, while GS5's weight was finally rising to near the 50th percentile and it was just becoming possible to buy pants that fit.)
I should also add that he walks around the backyard with me most days. His steps are a lot smaller than mine, but we usually walk the equivalent of 2000 of my steps.
The coach's son is a ball hog, even taking the ball from his teammates. Meanwhile, the kid who was the ball hog in the previous sport is well-mannered.
GS3 isn't used to having to push his way through to the ball, so he's been mostly on the periphery of the action. Downside of him only getting to play with his younger siblings.
Including people who've been in some form of technical work for 2-3 decades. But, yes, most of them a at least partly Black or Hispanic, and didn't get fair treatment or opportunities within their prior organizations.
I don't really see a reason why that would happen, seeing that Chechen "volunteers" seem to be the backstop that forces waves of conscripts to step forward into near-certain death in their human wave attacks.
When I was retraining 20+ years ago, we learned some IPv6 stuff. $AGENCY was really slow to implement it, even after gov't agencies were mandated to use it.
At the time, their VPN software seemed to be IPv4 only, but I'm sure that if USG put out an RFP for VPNs that support IPv6, vendors would suddenly find the capability to provide it.
I guess the only point is that you're not the only one dragging your feet.
