Hmmm. I’ve always heard good things about this show, but yeahhhh, not sure I can bear to watch bleak things right now. Unless a couple of amazing things happen, but those are very unlikely.

- Comment on How do people develop feelings for someone? 6 days ago:
Perhaps it’s different where I live, but when one of my friends asked me out, I just told him that I unfortunately wasn’t interested in him, but I still wanted to be friends. We stayed close friends, and I actually introduced him to one of my other friends. They hit it off and are still together seven(ish) years later :)
They live in a different state right now, but we still have yearly get-togethers. I miss them and hope they can move here soon :)
- Comment on Scientists Revive the Dire Wolf, or Something Close 6 days ago:
Huh, that’s interesting! It also explains why I get similar feelings when I see adults learning how to ski, for example. Their uncertain body language and clumsiness makes me want to help them, it’s endearing. Toddlers and baby animals have a similar body language when learning new things (or moving in general).
Empathy signals! :)
- Comment on How do people develop feelings for someone? 6 days ago:
Oh man, I’d say just the opposite! Date your friends! You know them well, you become good friends before you ever even start dating, which is great for pacing, and you both probably share a lot in common.
There’s nothing quite like holding hands with your best friend, or quietly reading together. Or going skiing together ❤️
It’s how long term relationships have formed for a handful of my buddies. And it’s also how I met my spouse :)
While not everything works out, having a rock solid friendship can lead to an extremely strong relationship.
- Comment on How long before I can sleep on my memory foam mattress? 1 week ago:
I’d let it offgas for 24-72 hours at least. It smells awful. It’s probably something awful like VOCs, lol. Definitely keep a window open until it gets less stinky.
- Comment on Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York 1 week ago:
District level heating is actually pretty efficient, some universities do the same thing on purpose to save on bills. Our relatively young city does it with the downtown skyscrapers for the same reason.
The other nice thing is that when you upgrade the heating system to be less carbon intensive, you can instantly have a ton of buildings all jump instantly to fewer emissions too.

They might not be, but God they are cute. I know they are wild animals, but I wanna get in there and play with them. :)

- Comment on The Lab Racing to Find Out What Microplastics Are Doing to Our Bodies 1 week ago:
This was a really interesting article, I just read it in today’s paper.
Seven grams of plastic in your brain is enough for an entire plastic spoon :)
We are cutting back plastics where we can.

I know they are wild animals, but I want to pet one so bad. Why are wild things so cute?
- Comment on Should I Ditch My Gas Appliances? They’re a big source of greenhouse gases. Here’s what to think about if you’re considering switching to electric. 1 week ago:
One worry are earthquakes, which can sever or crack gas lines.

I like the Miele I have, but I don’t know if you can find one for $500 CAD. It’s a great vacuum though.

- Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations 2 weeks ago:
Dropping the U’s from words such as “colour” - I get the simplification argument and I’d take or leave them, but I’m pro-U.
The pronunciation seems slightly different too, Color (Kolor) vs colour (coul-err). Or at least I pronounce them slightly differently depending on which word I read.
- Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations 2 weeks ago:
Even some places in the US are switching over to calling them WCs.

Play them back to back! It offers a really nice juxtaposition. I did a whole half life playthrough with all the mainline games + VR and HL + BM :)

Black mesa is so insanely good.

- Comment on Why do we even do mens vs womens sizes for clothes? 3 weeks ago:
Stuff like ski boots, too. Men and women apparently have muscle groups placed in slightly different areas, so the boots are sculpted differently to account for that.
- Comment on What Can We Do to Get Youth into Ham Radio? 3 weeks ago:
I love the idea of using it, but between getting married, looking for better jobs, and maintaining friendships, I haven’t found the time to study for the amateur radio exam, which appears to be considerable.
GMRS is $35 and a license so that I can use a radio with my family, husband, and licensed friends while skiing or mountain biking, making localized communication easy, while the cert process was mostly friction free (looking at you, ancient FCC website and the guides needed to figure out licensing- something less dedicated people forgo, hint hint). The friction for getting ham licensed makes it difficult for young people who don’t have much time for additional hobbies.
I do hope it’s around when I’m older and (hopefully) have more free time!
- Comment on The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst 3 weeks ago:
Judging by all the shark card crap they jammed into the last GTA, I fully expect them to shovel a bunch of crap in to make more money: $70 base games, deluxe editions, DLC, micro transactions, social club integration, required internet connections, all of it.
I miss the old GTAs before they got greedy.
