I'm with ya up until Pine Nuts show up in the pasta. Then I did.

The tiny cable loop in the Gulf of Mexico between Texas and Louisiana area is just depressing... Why was that the solution? Its really bringing to mind all the issues the US has wi…

I guess I was doing some these things already and didnt know it. Standing desk locked in the up position for zoom marathon days. Stepping back from the screens and camera when ther…

I am in this boat. Though my phone usage is still there, I'm spending more time on other apps to get the same brain-break, entertainment, or distraction. Reading articles here or f…

Well kind of... They used it to clean the tube using magnets.
