Thank you so much! I'll check it out

Could you find a link or do you remember the channel name? I think falconry is really awesome and I'd love to see that

Bamboo? I have bamboo socks that are warm and soft, but they take a little extra to dry

My experience with the feeling of "being shitty" is when I think of all the bad decisions that lead me to being in the dead end, no skill job I have; thinking about the bills I'm behind on, the chores I'm behind on, the friends who keep reaching out that I haven't responded to, how I'm probably not doing enough for my kid or partner, things like that

But I really try not to go shitty to other people because for the most part, they're not the cause of my shittiness

What are we supposed to be looking at?

I'd have to look. I just grab the pack of 2 tablets, I didn't read the ingredients. I tried looking online, but I have no idea the brand. The people come in and refill the first aid stations every couple weeks

But it seems that there's a few types available. You'd have to find one that suits your needs. I know they absolutely help me and I can feel a difference rapidly after letting one melt under my tongue

Also, those effects sound awful! And bizarre

How about a packet of electrolyte tablets? I've used them from the work first aid station a few times when I feel myself really dragging

Went with my partner to a really cute cabin for a vacation. It was a yurt, and really nice except the partition to the bathroom was just a curtain and the wall didn't go to the ceiling. It was at least behind a wall so there was a small modicum of privacy

So waaaaaaay too much cheese on both our parts lead to some very unpleasant bathroom trips and a resulting overload of senses. There was a window, fortunately, though it was fairly ineffective but we learned to excuse ourselves from the cabin when the other had to shit their brains out

I haven't had too many issues lately with hotels and obnoxious lights. And I think it's because manufacturers have changed something. But every once in a while there's some device that has a pinprick hole with a blue led behind it that acts like a damn flashlight and sends a faint blue beam across the room, or if it's aimed at you:

Here's their website:

They're all fairly similar; I think if you blindly pick one you'll still get what you're looking for

I haven't watched one in many years, IF I've ever watched one

When I was in my early teens when my family and I heard an extremely close lightning strike. I think we were sitting outside and saw the lightning but didn't see where it hit

I looked over and realized it had struck a tree a few houses up

"The tree is on fire!" Mom, Dad, and myself ran downstairs; mom drove us up the road with shovels in the back and Dad and I hopped out

A couple neighbors showed up just about the same time as us. One had a blanket and was trying to beat it out which was working on the grass but it was fanning the flames that were already starting up the trunk. I had to tell them to stop and encouraged people to throw dirt on the trunk which thankfully worked

spoilerPlease don't ask why no one had a fire extinguisher, I was young and I didn't think about it. Or maybe someone brought one but didn't deploy it. I think the immediacy of the situation led people to grab the tools they knew where they were and maybe people didn't think about using an extinguisher on nature?

I was reading up on my replies and I realized this was not at all the song I thought it was, but I love it and the video

It immediately gave me the urge to watch this:
Nails, Hair, Lips, Heels

I absolutely love the video! I find this song playing in my head at random times. Idk if you care for it but I love to share it when I can so hopefully someone gets to discover something new

OMG...

they did a Christmas themed one, I just discovered this:

The titles are:
"Reaper Man", "Small Gods", "Wyrd Sisters", "Moving Pictures"

Went to an adorable book shop and found these guys. I haven't read Pratchett yet but I feel it'll be right up my alley

I'm pretty sure I see "Small Gods" and "Wyrd Sisters" recommended a lot and I know you can't really go wrong, but of these which would you recommend the most? Since this is what I have I'll read them all eventually

Regardless I'm excited to have gotten physical copies because my library has long wait lists for his books

Edit: Thanks for all of the discussion! This post brought me a lot of positive on an otherwise rough day. I've decided to start with "Small Gods"

I just want to say again thank you to everyone who responded to me or to someone else. It's been a joy hearing what each person has to contribute to the conversation

Even if they fall flat (which I highly doubt) all of your enthusiasm came through and that really in itself means so much. It was truly touching

 

2 adults and 1 younger teen

We're going on a two week road trip that'll be fairly leisurely. Stopping by some parks and sights as we go and a few nights at our ultimate destination

I had my car recently serviced. It all checks out

I have a steam deck on the way! Any recommendations here for travel accessories? Or just in general?

We've all got devices and chargers and their respective blocks. I'm looking at a power inverter for the hungrier devices
I was debating bringing the oculus to give whomever a bit of isolation if they need; is there anything specific I'd need to do to use it where there's no internet? I haven't used it enough to be very familiar with most of its abilities

We adults have ps5s. Most likely won't bring one. I've seen portable monitors that people use with a local device; does anyone have experience using one for remote play for the ps5?

And making sure we've got entertainment downloaded to our devices; obviously books and offline/non electronic entertainment will be brought, as well

I'm really looking forward to this and want to make it the best experience for all involved! I look forward to hearing your tips

Edit to add: the point of the road trip is to bury my grandfather. And I'm petrified of flying in the current state of the US

Since we HAVE to make this trip we're trying to make the most of it by stopping by some state/national parks and other landmarks/pois during which we'll be present. But there's going to be LONG stretches of literally nothing exciting. Like corn fields. Many hours of corn fields. Most days are 6 - 10 hours in the car
