Alan Watts died in 1973 and yet this clip has him saying “scroll social media”. Only possible “social media” at the time of his death was email or a chatroom and those were in their infancy and the internet hadn’t been invented yet either. Methinks you may have been fooled.

EDIT: rephrasing

Ahh okay yeah if you just have like a little snow on top after you’ve brushed it then thats nothing to worry about. The car wash might have just been trying to get at the dirt underneath the ice and thats why they took more time

Less rude and more potentially dangerous tbh. The metal of the roof will conduct just enough heat to melt the snow into a thin sheet of water and the second you stop or slow down a little too hard all of the snow on your roof is now obstructing your front view. For the sake of yourself and everyone else you share the road with please brush off any significant snow on top of your vehicle before you start moving

I’m letting them cook for later. I’m sure I’ll circle around in the next 4-6 years

If he’s game I’m game.

Same reason no one shines their shoes anymore, a lot of shirts just don’t need the same level of maintenance anymore

I’m lucky, most of my interests are adjacent to each other and to what I do for a living. Its very easy for me to just pick something up to fuck with for a few minutes and then put down or sometimes let it develop into the new hyperfixation of the week. Really the lesson I learned is to keep those projects in front of me either figuratively or literally as much as I can and let my lizard brain munch on it for a while

The Falcon is a corvette and the Enterprise is something like a cruiser or a battleship, we’re talking apples and oranges here

I really liked the Jim Caviezel movie adaptation

Count of Monte Cristo is great but it was a bit of a slog at times if I’m honest. Granted last time I read it it was for school and I had to plow through all 650 pages or so in less than a week because I put it off til the last second

Not so much scripted as just I can logically follow where I was to where I am and infer where I’m going next. There’s surprises to be sure but there’s only so many way things can happen given the parameters of a story you’re very familiar with

In a apples and oranges sort of way yes the same number size can mean a difference that large. What I mean is your size in say athletic type shoes might be different than the same number size of espedrille or stiletto. It seems the seller is trying to have one number represent several dimensions which doesn’t really help anything since it still means the bigger the number the bigger the shoe.

And yes absolutely those can be stretched. The tool we use is a vaguely foot shaped form usually made of wood with a large screw that when cranked down will separate the sections of the form to increase the volume it takes up. After I’ve put the shoe under tension I’ll wet the shoe down with a solution that allows the leather to become more pliable without staining anything. If you just need that one strap to give a bit more than it shouldn’t be too much of a problem but if its the wrong size it going to stay the wrong size no matter what you do.

Shoe size contrary to common belief is not formalized between brands and usually only refers to the shoe length not its width or volume. In my experience as a cobbler shoe size is largely a suggestion. It is possible to stretch shoes, some better than others but the attempt certainly can made. End of the day If its the wrong size your body will tell you

A working search function, real annoying having to use a different search engine to find thing on a website that ostensibly already has one

Just played it again after 10 years. I forgot how truly janky the first one is even after the remaster.

You talk to people you shared those experiences with. Someone is bound to have remembered something different you didn’t

They did that in the newest Vecna campaign I’m running. Was indeed quite terrifying

Any matter going through you with that much mass is going to cause damage no matter how fast it goes. Billions of particles called neutrinos are moving through you right now as you read this but they are around 100,000,000,000,000x less massive than a hydrogen atom

Kids are smarter than anyone gives them credit for and even studies prove that two happy divorced or otherwise separated parents are better than an unhappy couple. Not saying its going to be easy or that I know all the context but its worth thinking about what you’re teaching to your kids staying unhappy for the sake of a broken relationship with their mother. And for what its worth an internet stranger is sending e-hugs and his best wishes
