I’m not sure how far back you have to go, but those are definitely pre 19th century

Emissions controller modifiers designed to “roll coal”

There was a really fun show I found… Let me get the name… “Joe and Katherine bargain holidays”, where they"vacation" on a “budget”, in the first (or second?) episode the go to an owl sanctuary, where they learn it’s 3$ (pounds) to hold an owl, Joe is flabbergasted by this and announces that he’s going to spend more money holding owls than on anything else in this episode, I think they started with 10 owls for 30 pounds, then asked to round it up to a dozen, then a bakers dozen. It actually looked like something I’d gladly spend money to do, and I would imagine it’s a pretty good cause.

The series is posted to YouTube, and if you haven’t seen “task master” I cannot recommend it highly enough. Joe and Katherine are on season 2. Save season 7 until you’ve seen enough of it to be comfortable with what’s going on, because it’s an amazing season (as they all are) but the cast is the least restrained in their antics.

I would hold 5 owls.

Gotta be pink Floyd wish you were here…

But there are so many good ones.

Thanks for sharing! Love it

Glass fire in central California, I saw it the very first morning on my way to work (a Sunday), had no idea it was going to become as big as it did.

I was just talking about this yesterday.

My wife has a top of the line “remarkable” with upgraded storage space, she’s grandfathered into that option, which is no longer available. it’s now entirely monthly subscriptions, she wouldn’t have had the opportunity if she weren’t an early adopter.

We used to swear by “never buy iteration 1 of a generation” but today it seems that if a product is going to be successful, it’s going to get degraded in iteration 2.

Textbook enshittification. Now you have to take a chance on something being good and the company sticking around, and buy in before it gets on the radar of investors.

Beat me to it-doobie-doo

I was watching RvB before YouTube XD XD XD my friend downloaded… .avi’s I think? The night they were released, and we’d watch them after school the next day XD XD XD

RvB, early 90s???

Shit man Pokemon wasn’t early 90s.

I’m going to kindly ask you to enjoy yourself on my lawn but please move on eventually when you’re done enjoying yourself.

Ready player one, though to be fair I didn’t finish either version. I feel like percentage-wise I made it further through the movie, but only because the movie is less than 2 hours long. I made it to the 2nd chapter of the 2nd part and couldn’t take the masturbatory prose any more. There’s no self insertion on one side of the scale, Mary sue-ing in the middle, and ready player one sits on the far side of the scale.

Some apples are softer than others.

When you do it please announce “how do you like Dem apples?”

Ridiculous goals, I don’t think my brain has the capacity for ridiculous right now. Trying to get 3k yards/hour swimming, and hoping to get back to doing flip turns before the 4th of July.

Extraction and purification of surface residue for triple quadrupole analysis looking for pesticides, or inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry looking for arsenic, but that’s practically physics by that level.

Alanis morissette’s song ironic contains no solid cases of irony, mostly bad luck or poor timing, and is therefore ironic.

I’m with you, I got word number 9, it felt like it had nothing to do with word number 1, word number 9000 however I felt was pretty close.

Wow, I expected to see squardle posted all over this thread, I haven’t seen it yet, so:

My daily puzzles are wordle waffle and squardle, the last being far and away my favorite.

Person you responded to was not the original poster. Not sure why they’ve felt the need to inject extra information that is entirely unrelated to the comment you replied to. Seems pretty scammy to me

Maybe diary a bit, logging different aspects consistently for a couple weeks, and keeping a sleep log in the morning to see how well you did, if you continue to insomnia without correlation to anyone you’re tracking in your diary, change what you log.

I suggest food, social contacts, feelings during commute, future scheduling, hobby tracking.

You might not come up with the exact stressor at first, but if you find a pattern in something you’re tracking you may be able to determine what’s causing the pattern and be able to take corrective action.

If nothing else journaling can be fun!

Did 3 years in an RV, would not recommend. But beats the hell out of the month in a tent, and most anything beats sleeping in the 2 door car, there was no getting comfy in that things. The car wasn’t comfy, the tent was kinda comfy but very humid, the trailer/RV was powered, so less humidity problems, but after a while it’s nice to not deal with black water and the limited size (we were in a 27 footer, larger than our apartment kitchen, but not by much)
