There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I remember having a conversation with my father about college and choosing what program to select for my studies.
He said something similar to the Mark Twain quote:
Do what you love, the money will follow.
I know there was a book published in 1987 with that as a title, but the discussion with my dad happened around 1975.

Confucius obviously said that way before the conversation with my dad!

Confucius may not have even said that. A lot of things got attributed to him that he didn't say.Confucius obviously said that way before the conversation with my dad!
Some of it may be confusion in the translation, but some of it just not found in his writings.
A lot of the ancient philosophers were like that. Sayings got attributed to them, that can't be found in any of their known written work.

My brain went Kung Fu for a moment (the original TV series), and thought:
Very wise, Grasshopper
And then my brain went bonkers and started wondering if your full name was Grasshopperwolf, or Grasswolf, or some other absurd name.
I'm going back to bed now, ignore the half asleep person who's wandering away.

Not that far off, my last name is a combination of 2 words without a space between, but it is not Grasshopper nor wolf. It is two other words in the English Language. I know some things about the ancient Chinese because I lived in Oriental countries for about 4 or 5 years. It was nothing to do with formal studying. I was there with the military. I am also familiar with the Ancient Greek, Persian, and many other Philosophers. Don't have much formal education, but I read a lot. The early writers, thinkers, and poets had some very wise things to share about the world. Too bad the modern schools don't teach some of it. The latest generations of school kids could use some real wisdom along with their indoctrination. I have always read books and hardly ever the ones that were assigned to be read in high school classes. I studied whatever I was interested in because the classes in school were boring. The teachers usually left me alone to read whatever I wanted to because if they made me participate in the class I interoupted all their lesson plans. If I was reading some Isaac Asimov science fiction stuck inside the book the class was supposed to be studying, then I was quiet and not disturbing the whole class.

You could try the spice section in the grocery store to see if they have "Red Wiggler" flavoing.
Maybe ask one of the people stocking shelves where the "Red Wiggler Spice" is located.
The fish like them.

I had no idea what red wiggler spice is, so I did a search.
Yeah, go ahead and ask someone at the grocery store about them. If they don't know what you're talking about, you'll get a strange look from them. If they do know what you're talking about, you'll get a strange look from them.

Isaac Asimov was one of the truly great science fiction writers!
I, Robot of course, and the Foundation Series, but I also liked Caves of Steel as the...uh...foundation of the Foundation Series.
