Saturday was really warm here, like "t-shirt and jeans weather" warm.
I was in the middle of walking between buildings when the clouds broke.
I immediately turned toward the sun and for one, shining moment, I channeled the spirit of Solaire of Astoria. For a brief moment, I was so grossly incandescent.
I decided "fuck this I'm going home and practicing archery." so I stood out in the sun for an hour and a half until the sun dipped below the trees.
I really need to get one of those full spectrum light panels that helps with seasonal affective disorder, or like a vitamin d lamp or something. It doesn't help that my current residence has no windows, so all light is artificial and to get any sun I have to actually go outside.
I've been taking noise canceling earbuds for my wife and I. Whenever the kids start getting too loud, we pop them in. I'm not even listening to anything, I'm just using them to take the edge off.
You take that back, I protect my marines while playing!
You know.... As much as possible while charging headfirst into the most powerful empire the galaxy has seen in 100,000 years hell bent on destroying humanity and all we represent...
Ah yes, that pursuit and sharing of knowledge known as "paying a shitload of money for the privilege of making a company that ultimately provides nothing of value some extra cash"
I didn't know ml is cool with ultracapitalism as long as it's under the veneer of knawlege.
Almost entirely fiction, a couple dozen a year. I'm currently rereading a book series with around 20 books, I think.
Not considering audio books in the statistic is a little weird and comes off as attempted gatekeeping... If someone has taken the time to consume book media, it shouldn't matter if it was listened to or not. My wife is dyslexic and listenes to quite a few audio books a year, but can only finish a couple print books.
I've started asking people "do you have any independently verified statistics to back that up?" and when they start justifying why the answer is no or trying to say anything other than "yes and here they are" I just hit the with "So no, then. The answer is 'no I don't have anything that backs up what I'm saying in reality'" and usually that shuts them up because they don't rant to talk to me anymore. Which is fine by me. It's usually in-laws.
But the business analysts are the most profitable group, anywhere! If you don't believe me just hire a business analyst to analyze things and they'll prove it to you!
it sure seems like they’re colluding to restrict the amount of oil in the market
Um....
Yes? 100% always has been, they literally have meetings and what is essentially a corporate union specifically to do it. And they're not subtle about it.
I would like that, the structure would not.
For now all I have is a dragon tree that needs extra attention I need advice on, and an aloe plant.
