Fix things. I don’t know what they did to my father but the man starts getting twitchy and starts scratching at his face if he hasn’t ordered anything from Amazon in the last few minutes. I have to STOP HIM to give me a chance to repair things.
The plural of surgeon general is surgeons general. The past tense of surgeon general is surgeoned general.
I think it depends on the cat.
My cat loves people and hates other cats. I’ve never seen her interact with another cat in a way that wasn’t screaming and slapping. She adores humans though. In fact I’m gonna go hang out with her on the couch and watch TV.
I’m a flight instructor, so…yes.
I pulled down the eight Kindle books I actually bought, about half of the books in my Kindle library are public domain, stuff like old Sherlock Holmes novels, some FAA handbooks, etc.
Next I guess is Audible. Over the years Audible has offered a lot of free trials with a complimentary audiobook several times, and I’ve amassed a bit of a collection. Including the edition of The Martian narrated by R.C. Bray you can’t get anymore. Those I’d like in mp3 format if I can get it.
Divorcing a billionaire is how you GET billions of dollars though.
I’d start appearing at various churches dressed as Jesus talking about “Wait till my father gets done with his latest project and has time to deal with y’all again” to see how many of them say “You mean it’s actually real?”
“For study” here meaning “to listen to as background music while you are studying?”
I’ve used Satisfactory and Infinifactory’s music for that, both have kind of a “make you feel smart” vibe to them.
Do without. Buy less shit.
With our luck? Carcinogens.
If I was you I’d start now. Spend some time dual booting or using Linux on a side machine.There is a learning curve.
Organic chemistry was a mistake, one we have the arsenal to correct. Push the whopper button.
God I hope so. I have absolutely no reason to keep surviving, I hate being alive, I hate that any of you are alive, let’s get the nukes out and boil the fucking oceans.
yeah not a lot of ideas fit in them little skulls. Alittle wackiness does though. plus they figured out how to purr, so that’s innovative.
The very thin furred breeds without all the cheek fluff give you a real sense of how much of a cat’s head is just eyeball.
Cats don’t tend to trap themselves by squishing into a hole they can’t squish back out of.
What a cat will do is stick his head in a tissue box and then lacks the dexterity to pull it off.
Entirely too many people give a shit about a shitass collection of bronze age bullshit in the first place.
Aww Casper is such a noodle. You can see right through his ankles.
I have a few to recommend:
SEA and Astrum. Almost interchangeable calm and chill space documentary channels. If you’re like me and get a spinny mind around bedtime, these are great, they hold my attention to keep my mind from racing and are calm enough to drift to sleep while listening.
Bedtime Stories. Anything from urban legends to strange disappearances told in a campfire ghost story format accompanied by hand drawn illustrations. Sometimes wanders into hibbidy jibbidy but fun nonetheless. See also Wartime Stories for a similar format focusing on stories from/about the military.
History For Granite. I read this guy as an armchair archaeologist who is interested primarily in the pyramids and megalithic structures of ancient Egypt almost as much as he is at sniping at Zahi Hawass. Possibly a bit of a crank, though his wild ideas tend to be things like “The pyramid was designed to remain open for worshippers to routinely enter” and he often focuses on the engineering of the structures and layout of the stones.
Nexpo. Short for Nightmare Expo, purveyor of creepy stories.
Captain KRB. Video essayist, fond of minecraft, retro media, and occasional odd stories like the Voynich manuscript or the Cicada 3301 mystery.
Lemmino, started out as a top ten list channel, has pivoted to long form documentaries on a “when it’s done” basis. Topics range from the history of the “Cool S” graffiti symbol to the Lost Colony of Roanoke.
Ahoy. Churns out one, maybe two videos a year on the topic of video games, primarily video game weapons. Typical format will introduce a weapon, say, the M-16 combat rifle, discuss its real world invention and service history, then its depiction in video games and possibly other media. Peppered in are other more general video game topics; his video on Polybius is particularly good.
This Old Tony. A dude named Tony whose got a hobby machine shop full of dad jokes in his garage.
Clickspring. Australian dude who makes soul-achingly beautiful videos about clockmaking and machining. Go watch him build a clock out of raw brass and tell me your life hasn’t changed.
Tech Tangents. One of those guys who will hold an 8-bit ISA card in his hands with a look of utter rapture on his face, he repairs, restores and documents old computer and gaming equipment, and operates a capacitor wiki. He once reverse engineered an ISA adapter card to get a very early CD-ROM drive functioning…live on Twitch.
