Nanny state foolishness. It’s just crewed spaceflight, not rocket science.
Technically I’m an archaeologist, I guess.

With that baby around, I think it’s you who needs to worry about surviving a 20-story fall.
I’m pleased that she’s experiencing the fallout from all this, but whatever logic she used to calculate that political risk is baffling.
Four John Wick movies have grossed over a billion dollars on the conceit that harming a dog is a legitimate emotional catalyst for someone to kill 450 people.
My kinda person. If they were local and I saw the post, I’d be there for sure.
Abandoning my DeWalt family heritage in favor of Mikwaukee was almost like leaving Jehovah’s Witnesses. I’m allowed back to visit, but it’s tense.
I think I can speak for everyone that this would be the ideal arrangement.
I’m a light sleeper with a loud mind, as well, so this kind of thing has always been a problem for me. The two main things I find helpful may not do the trick for you, but here goes:
First, trying to force myself back to sleep always just ramps my brain up worse and makes it more difficult than it already was to fall back asleep. I stopped trying to force the issue, which has counterintuitively sped up the time it takes me to fall back asleep. I don’t get up or engage my mind with anything significant, but if I’m awake, I’ll put soft music on my earbuds or scroll on my phone set to the dimmest setting. I may not fall back to sleep immediately, but I’ve found that lowering the pressure on myself to fall back asleep makes it happen more readily than when I spend 2 hours and 45 minutes being like “if I fall asleep right now, I can still get another 3 hours. go to sleep. fall asleep. sleep will happen… now!”
Second, I’ve increased my oversell magnesium intake. I know you said no substances, but I feel like this is different. There have been a few studies–popular science type stuff, nothing peer reviewed that I know of–indicating that magnesium improves sleep quality and the ability to return to sleep if woken up. Might be the placebo effect, but I don’t care because I’ve noticed an improvement.
Sorry you have to deal with this flavor of insomnia, too. Super sucks.
You’re fun.
I worked in grocery stores for several years in my 20s. That was 10 years ago, but I still remember so many vegetable PLUs and fly through self-checkout most times.
I’M HIT

I wish I would have thought of it first this time 😔
Yes.
I already ate more sugar than I should have. I’m not going to drink the runoff. I also don’t drink the mostly-salt broth from instant ramen.
Not to be dramatic, but I’d rather die.
Funny enough, I love going through the car wash. I like it so much that I have one of those unlimited wash deals at my local soft touch place. I probably get 3 washes a week on average.
But the idea that I’d have to do that is nuts. And the shit about special soap and whatever? No way.
My wife and I have done White Castle table service every year since we’ve been together, except for the year they didn’t do it because of covid.
It’s a lot of fun, but I don’t think there will be tables available on this short notice.
In particular, oil and acidic soiling, such as tar or bird droppings, should be cleaned immediately with an alcohol-based solvent. Immediately afterwards, rinsing with clear water or a pH-adjusted soap is recommended. This type of cleaning should be necessary after every longer ride.
Nah.
I hope he’ll be okay. With $2 billion liquidated, his cash on hand is only the average lifetime earnings of 1,176 Americans.
Assuming the average American starts working at age 18 and stops working at 67, that’s just 57,624 years’ worth of American wages.
It’s a shame he’s considering exercising another $6 billion of his stock between now and the end of the year just to get by.
He liquidated 12 million Amazon shares for approximately $2 billion last week. It’s the capital gains on that sale that OP’s article is referring to.
Unless you meant cash, in which case you’re probably right. I don’t think his brokerage settled the sale with briefcases of $100 bills.
Ritual and ceremony are deeply important aspects of the human experience. What cultures do with their dead is way, way up there with foodways and adornment when it comes to cultural significance.
The increasingly common view in the West that elaborate death rites are unimportant is really new when compared to the rest of human history. It’s probably a postmodern thing? If I’m right about that, that would mean the less reverential attitude towards traditional deatg ceremony is like 110ish years old.
Compared to the 200,000-300,000 years Homo Sapiens have been around (or 45,000 years ago if we only want to discuss the length of time that Northern European-style deathways have most likely been practiced), 100 years isn’t a lot to change that cultural inertia.
Sorry, I know this is a Wendy’s. Just a frosty, thanks.
