I’ve heard this for my whole life. Oil runs out in X years, until they develop affordable ways to dig deeper and get at more

Computer nerd me loved dialing up BBS’s on my TRS-80 CoCo with 16k RAM. My parents on the other hand hated getting the phone bill. 30 cents a minute in 1980 dollars was steep

Dress fairly nice. No shorts, no wacky t-shirts

There is some history and controversy surrounding their fatal climb that makes it more interesting than the other cadavers. Caveat: Not an expert on this. Irvine and Mallory made early attempts at being the first to summit Everest. There is speculation that on their last climb, they summited before dying on their way down and had beat Edmund Hillary who is credited with being first

If you like rock and roll then I recommend Night Flight streaming service. They were running a deal if you paid for the year it cost less than $5 a month

When entering the Everglades NP my girlfriend and I were handed one of those folded maps with info on the park. Early 90’s BTW. We went to a campground and set up our tent then soon decided to drive out of the park to buy groceries. On the drive out we saw a convertible pulled over to the side of the road, it’s occupants looking at something. We looked and I saw the back end of a large cat walking away. My first impression was who could abandon a cat here? It will get eaten by alligators. Soon I realized it was no ordinary house cat. The brochure we were given stated there were nine known Florida panthers left in the million acre park.

Was wearing my blue Dickies work uniform while browsing at MicroCenter when a woman behind me says “Shouldn’t you be at work?”. I turn around and say "Yes. Yes I should "

Don’t “both sides” this. It’s the kind of thing people use to justify voting third party. Off the top of my head the Biden admin has been working to restore net neutrality and has an antitrust case against Ticketmaster and Live Nation

One thing that helped me relax when learning to drive: 99% of the time you only need to worry about what’s directly in front of you. Unless you’re changing lanes or backing up that’s your main priority. Yeah it’s good to be a defensive driver and anticipate things and that will come with time. Don’t be overstimulated by every detail around you, know what to focus on. I hope this helps you relax like it did me

Something is wrong with anyone that would look down on you for it

Practice patience. Drive slow. Why is it so hard?

My first attempt at cooking with weed I used an ounce in a 9"x9" brownie pan. One brownie and I could feel hair growing in my mouth

Little known fact, Florida floats

And what’s the deal with Lake Superior, does it get filled in?

Nowadays naming your kid is a way to make a statement about yourself. Like a vanity plate.

Don’t you know better than to feed them after midnight?

Yeah it’s uncomfortable as hell to sit with anything in back pockets. I’ve actually utilized this at work. My customers often have me sign out contractor keys that I must return before leaving. Keeping them in a back pocket prevents me from driving away with them. I’ll know as soon as I sit down if I didn’t return them

I too prefer to not having anything in my pants pockets. Can’t wait until it get cool enough to wear a light jacket so I can utilize it’s pockets

Occasionally I come across camps while fishing local rivers. Homeless folks tend to set up within walking distance of some kind of support like places that give out meals. I spotted a camp last fall across the river from me thinking it was a dumb place to set up. In a suburban park in full view of a paved trail. A few days later the newspaper ran an article about a woman dead from exposure being found inside
