That's a nice boulder.

I always assumed the lighter color of a giraffe was the default or background color and the spots were abnormally dark. This is throwing me off because the spotless one is the same color as the spots would be.

Also, why just drunk driving? Why not you pay child support for murder?

Stuff Made Here - blows my mind with each new video. I can't even imagine being able to dream up his creations let alone design and create them.

Technology Connections - you didn't know you were going to love learning about dishwashers and other appliances, but you are.

Foureyes Furniture - interesting custom furniture design and build sequences with very good editing and voiceover.

Marling Baits - Custom fishing lures that vary from lifelike (using real fish skin) to absurd (a lightsaber) to ultra absurd (a block of wood).

Project Farm - head to head comparisons of common tools or other household projects. Very no nonsense and a ton of information packed in quick.

Inheritance Machining - a man documenting rediscovering his passion for machining after inheriting his grandfather's machine shop. Excellent narrative scriptwriting, recurring video elements, buttery smooth voiceover, and oddly satisfying machining footage.

I bought a 25 foot leash when training my dog. I'll never catch him if he doesn't want me to, but I can get within 25 feet of him.

While I see your point, it hinges on voting for Hunter Biden in lieu of Trump. I can't say I would -- I know little of Hunter Biden's policy stances --, but I find it very far fetched to believe Hunter would get the nomination over another democratic politician, so it seems like the argument is pointless.

Yeah this is the scariest point in all of my projects.

The doge dog died? Such sad.

Aldi has Frosted Mini-wheats that keep don't get as soggy and hold on to the frosting longer.

In the Midwest, we sometimes measure distance in number of songs.

Not to say that the social programs are flourishing or anything, but it's worth noting that the tales of people eating dogs and cats in Springfield have been debunked and are unfounded rumors being perpetuated by Trump/Vance on a national stage.

I was accused of plagiarism in a college history class. Out of the four page paper, a single sentence came back as a high match to an article I had never read. The sentence was really generic too; something like "Skywalker light and sound became a leader in the industry." I plead my case to the professor, and he believed me, but he still knocked me a letter grade.

This reminds me of the short story "The Great Automatic Grammatizator" by Roald Dahl. In the story a machine is invented that can write great stories, but it's creators go around buying the naming rights of authors so people will actually not their books.

I interpreted it more as Okie State fans showing what's going to happen to Texas.

The pictures are correct, but they don't show how traffic can back up for miles before the merge point with everybody sitting in just one lane, and some guy who has taken it upon himself to police everyone else's "manners" swerving to block anyone who dares to the the open lane and "cut in line."

If he can play a stapler, he can be a pregnant Asian woman too!

We are much more basic. Always have a box of Lipton chicken noodle on hand for when a bug hits.

When you wake up early after a snowstorm and nobody has gone out yet it looks so beautiful. The snow also dampens sounds, and it makes the sound of people shoveling their walks a little magical. Then six hours later it's just dirty, and annoying.

I'll add "The Great Automatic Grammatizator." It's my favorite by far, but I like all of the stories in "The Umbrella Man and other stories."

When I was on the fence about teaching English any longer, a friend of mine encouraged me to try software development because "[I] know languages, and [I] like to build things." I still feel a lot more comfortable with a saw and clamps, but I think he's right.

I do enjoy Cody's Lab from time to time. I'll have to check out This old Tony.

This song rules.

Don't let Randy Johnson get any apples.

My colleague gave me one of hers this week. She told me they were the good stuff. They were so strong I wasn't sure which was worse: the cough drop or the sore throat. Checked them out at the store today and they have 20mg menthol! The ones we call "the good stuff" only have 7.5mg.

Not truly classical, but Copland is my go to. For a single work, I could listen to Dvork's 9th forever.

I've been listening to this song a ton lately. The chorus goes so hard.

When I first played Mass Effect I thought it was silly that I could give Shepard a first name that would never be used, so I tried to come up with the absolute dumbest first name I could think of. Turns out BanjoShepard is available on practically every platform, so it became my internet persona.

I think I meant buy. I've edited the comment. That said, after rereading the story last tonight, the reason they buy the rights to authors names is to eliminate competition and maximize profits.

Here it is if you're interested. It's a great read.

Locally biased, but I'll die defending a burger from Runza as the best burger you can get in a drive through. I think it's the bun that really sets it apart; it's so soft.

Hold the extra noodles, but that's the real MVP. Sustained me for a week when I got COVID two years ago.

I want to be a digital organizer, but I'm also a folder nesting whore and things get out of sight out of mind to easily. I find my daily tasks and todos are much more effective if I write them down in a small notebook that I always keep in my bag.

Is Nebula good? Every time I watch Practical Engineering, I'm tempted to get it.

I used this system more than I care to admit and never had significant problems with it. My biggest issue was when trying to modify an existing item on the ticket.
