In china I had a UK roommate. He was on the phone with his mom mid week when she should have been at work. I asked if she was sick and he was like "No. She took some vacation days to tidy the house." My jaw hit the floor. My vacation days in the US were so precious and so few that I'd never fathom using any to do chores. Unreal that you can have so much vacation you'd elect to spend it doing chores.

Beer flavored peanuts. It tasted like a beer burp. It was, different...

I lived in china and it was the only way to access loads of media. When I got back I saw the hellscape that streaming had become. We recreated cable. That and not owning anything anymore. So I still sail the high seas. Even if I wanted to pay the high price of 30 different streaming services it's a better more enjoyable experience sailing.

I read this, don't know if it's true, that in the UK the sentence used to be "hang by the neck" but then they cut the rope before a guy died. He argued that the sentence was to hang by the neck, and the sentence was fulfilled. The judge agreed and from then on it was "hang by the neck till dead". Might be totally made up but I want it to be true

There are two things Tesla and Elon has done well. Making EVs mainstream and cool. And the super charger network. Everything else. Bleh

It only took a couple hundred years for them to respond to all the theft they did? Better late than never I guess.
