I haven’t seen the movie, but the book is very detailed about how the death march is tearing apart their bodies and minds. Some basically sleepwalk and get the tiniest fraction of rest. But even those that do are driven insane.
I’m not really a fan of most of King’s work, but The Long Walk is worth a read even if you don’t like his other stuff.

Don’t worry, the official standards are changing soon. Elon and others are already training us on the correct way to honor our supreme leader!

Exactly what I thought of. No way this guy is serious; he just wants a wider dating pool.

That’s exactly what I thought too. I had to stare at this one for a while to get it.

Is there something I’m supposed to be doing with Queen Anne’s Lace? It gets more out of control every year, but I just rip it out and compost it.

I gained it after having a kid. I don’t understand it, so I’d like to see a study as well.

I was going to say Feynman for the same reason. Outside his classes it sounds like the guy was a lot of fun to be around.

As someone who worked at a gas station for many years, I definitely don’t miss this. For some reason the Women’s room was always consistently bad (I assume because they all hovered) while the Men’s room was relatively easy to clean.
But every week or so there was something like the image in the Men’s room that made me regret being born. I’m sure there’s a lesson in there about outliers messing up the average or something.

Outlook does too. Basically the only thing Microsoft has gotten right because it has saved me 100% of the times I forgot.

Happened to my sister when we were kids. She got a junebug in her ear and it went so deep you couldn’t see it. We filled her ear with peroxide, which seemed to kill it, but she still couldn’t hear.
The nurse said she was making it up and just had too much earwax. We did peroxide rinses every day until it fell out a week later. Probably not very safe to have a bug rotting inside you, but we already owed a couple hundred for the nurse to dismiss us so we definitely weren’t going back to the hospital.

I think most time machines are functionally teleporters as well, since they appear when and where you want. Being able to teleport into the oval office (and then back out) removes almost every barrier preventing them from doing something “which they could do right now”.

That threw me when I started Guards! Guards!. I generally only have time to read at night and stop at the first chapter break after 11:00. For several nights in a row I was reading until midnight, giving up, then forgetting by the next time. Eventually I checked ahead and realized there weren’t any, but a lot of his ‘sections’ are chapter sized, so it works out.

You should do it more, not less.

Are you masturbating at all? I can imagine being so horny that a porn subscription seems tempting, but masturbating would clear that up. It seems like you’ve skipped several levels and gone straight to the most expensive masturbation enhancement.

- Comment on I am looking to broaden my youtube channels that I follow. What female channel are you following? 3 months ago:
Mary’s Test Kitchen I’m not vegan, but I like the scientific approach she takes to testing recipes.
3x3 Custom Woodworking channel
The Octopus Lady fun deep dives into weird ocean critters.
antiheroines humerous but vulnerable reviews of lesser known horror/thriller movies.
This question made me realize that just over half of my subs are woman-run channels.

That’s how I always imagine it when I read it too. Joel from Marvelous Ms Maisel says it almost exactly the same which just reinforced it.
