You're missing the only one that actually works for me. Get up at roughly the same time every morning. I won't do it, but I should.

See Stephen King. You don't need 12 books to say this.

There are a few nuggets that are still only obvious when you actually think about it. Like don't fight with a hill behind you because you might need to retreat, do fight with a forest behind you for the same reason.

To be fair, what type of renewable resources could you even use in the sunshine state, or along the windy beaches of Daytona. The state just isn't a good fit.

Don't worry, next year (assuming it's not another el ninio) they'll accept this years temps and use it as proof that the climate change is fake since "it's colder than last year".

He was the US secretary of state in the 1970s who finally died today after far too long living free. The 3 page rolling stone article is about as quickly as somebody could summarize his more notable war crimes. Admittedly the article is pretty biased, but also fuck hearing the other side of the story about a man responsible for so much death and pain.

Tldr: he extended the Vietnam war for about 5 years because it benefited him personally, he convinced Nixon to bomb Cambodia and laos which were not involved in any combat with us, he was involved in the coups that overthrew the democraticly elected governments of Peru and Argentina, he encouraged the use of nuclear bombs in battle on numerous occasions, and that's just for starts. The rolling stone article claims he is indirecty responsible for about 4 million deaths. They don't list the directly responsible number, but its likely in the one million range.

Basically all we know about him is that his name is Maximus Decimus Meridius. Father to a murdered child, husband to a murdered wife, and he will have his vengeance; in this life or the next.

It's the same metaphor though. Helping a group of people doesn't hurt a different group. Did they make a decision based on whether they expected to get help: yes. Does providing that help against that expectation hurt them: no.

It's an especially good metaphor because nobody is even talking about taxing tradies to fund the relief.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why they got rid of playlist radio. It makes Spotify so much worse and I can't imagine it saves them any money

Though I would watch one that was a contest between surgeons. I imagine it'd start pretty tame, but the first time a girl with cat ears wins, were only like 5 years from the really crazy shit

I think you're looking too deep. The ghost of Christmas future shows you how unimportant you are, but the character doesn't care since the world is better than expected.

I find cursive is very useful when writing notes that only I will ever need to read. Reading and writing another persons cursive has never been easy for me and it has never impacted my life with one exception. I cannot read post cards from my aunt. Oh, and that time a decade ago when I had to fill out the "I will not cheat" pledge on the back of the SAT.

Turns out if you need to write something with speed we have these things that are like typewriters, but they don't even jam!

We're you worried you may damage your new VHS tapes by copying them with your vcr?

Never tried. Apparently yes, but I sound like a child reading each word like, "yeah, that's definitely'vested' I'm sure!". I doubt the next generation will except a few people.

I see your point, but I'm not sure I believe somebody could lie about it's contents even in the distant future with how many legible copies there are.

On another note, this website exists which is super cool! https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/downloads
