Some More News - a disheveled and sarcastic anchor does a deep dive into a current topic

Contrapoints - an ex-philosopher does a really deep dive into a topic (sometimes a concept or a phenomenon, sometimes a particular person or event), with incredibly high production value and costumes. Unfortunately this means she only puts out 2 videos a year, but they're now usually 1-2 hours long.

Podcasts - some have YT channels, but often no video, so if you're looking for something to watch, this may not be helpful

Behind the Bastards - a deep dive (often 2+ hour+ episodes) into different historical or current terrible people

5-4 - a podcast about why the Supreme Court sucks

Maintenance Phase - two journalists talk about various health, diet, and wellness scams and misconceptions

If Books Could Kill (no YT channel) - Michael Hobbes from Maintenance Phase and Peter from 5-4 talk about "airport books"--bad pop science books

You're Wrong About - Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes (until late 2021) talk about pop culture misconceptions, everything from O.J. to the Satanic Panic to Iran-Contra and more.

One of these curious little dudes licked my foot! I don't think he realized it was attached to a person, because he looked up afterward and got startled.

Vornado makes powerful fans. I think they're pretty quiet on low and medium, less so on high, but YMMV depending on your noise tolerance. I haven't tried Dyson but they are outrageously expensive (and I think I've seen a video on them not moving much air, I'll come back with the link if I can find it).

Edit: video

It locked my ID. I successfully unlocked it, but then it asked for my security questions to log in, and I must've forgotten those. I tried to reset them, but got a weird error ("not enough info to reset"). Apple Support was unhelpful, just told me to try again the next day (yesterday), which didn't work, and otherwise said I'd just have to create a new Apple ID.

  • Revamped - a very bad vampire movie written by, directed by, and starring the same man
  • Death Bed: The Bed That Eats - a horrible 70s horror movie with a very literal title
  • From Dusk till Dawn

I'm also including some movies that are horror comedies that are actually good and fun on purpose in case those strike the same chord with you. Some aren't strictly comedic, but I think they're all fun.

  • Cabin in the Woods
  • Barbarian
  • Get Out
  • Housebound
  • Slither
  • Tucker & Dale vs. Evil
  • most of the Evil Dead movies
  • You're Next
  • Pearl
  • The Guest
  • Shaun of the Dead / Hot Fuzz
  • What We Do in the Shadows

Also FYI that medications can increase the half-life of caffeine. For example, oral birth control can double caffeine's half-life. Additionally, people can metabolize caffeine faster or slower than others based on genetics and age. So I've figured out I need to stop drinking caffeine no later than noon, and I might benefit from stopping earlier (or entirely, as much as I'd miss it).

Also they sometimes sell refurbished Encores on their site for a discount. But honestly new, they're still very reasonable. My refurb looked brand new and has been serving me well for 2 years.
