Not exactly what you’re looking for, but still fun.

Here’s Scott shooting it

Atomic Heart and Cyberpunk 2077 are the only two on my list that are discounted enough.

Maybe, maybe not. I’m not close to running out of unplayed games.

Really strangely written article. It appears to be talking about underground hydrogen supplies. It goes on and on about “white gold” without defining it until very late in the article. Feels like AI slop.

Depends on how bad you are. You can glaze a clutch in an afternoon.

Unless you’re OK with looking foolish in front of your boyfriend’s dad, I would rent an automatic. You also have the possibility of damaging the clutch if you’re not careful.

That said, it shouldn’t take more than an afternoon to get the hang of it, so, either way.

US licenses don’t differentiate. There’s no way to tell by the license which transmission you used on the test. Shouldn’t be a problem.

I’ve also used an unkindness of ravens.

I’m not sure about the French translation, but another word for ground is Earth. As a guess, an environmentalist group is probably adapting it from that terminology.

If Seoul ever wants to chip away at their demographic time bomb, they desperately need to fall in line with these demands.

I’m not a contractor.

I’d poke around for rot and mark the edges to make sure it isn’t spreading. Maybe try to get up there and check after a storm.

It could absolutely be an old problem that stained the wood. I might make a 1-year calendar reminder if I didn’t see anything after a rain.

That’s a persistent itch.

Here are two channels I think Tom’s viewers would appreciate.

Alexis Dahl makes interesting videos on history, science and life in Michigan.

The Tim Traveller makes ridiculous, yet strangely informative videos about locations all over Europe.

Both channels consistently provide answers to questions I hadn’t thought to ask. Both do it with a genuine sense of wonder and a lot of heart.

Black coffee.

Actually, that’s breakfast. I just drink water at work and eat when I get home. After the first few days, my body adjusted. I don’t get hungry at work anymore.

Already commented about raising the bed. Here’s another idea.

Remove the top of the desk from the bottom and rotate it 180°, then reinsert. Put a heavy weight on the foot to stabilize, then cantelever the desk out over the bed.

To get that thing under the platform, you’re going to need to add stubby legs like the ones on a stuffed chair, unless you want it to look like a dorm room with sticks or bricks. At a guess, I’d say you’ll need 1 leg for every 2-3 linear feet that the bed contacts the ground. Don’t forget the center support.

Platform beds aren’t designed to have legs, so you’ll need significantly more legs than a framed bed would have. You’ve got to spread the additional stresses evenly or it’ll all loosen. It’ll start creaking and the drawers will get stuck with too few supports.

So, aside from the ad block everyone loves and I don’t have the characters to type, what do we recommend?

Outstanding track. I hadn’t seen the video before. Thanks!

I’m guessing op meant to say “if you have the budget…”

My primary concern buying a TV would be UX. If the menu system is well thought out and they’re not spamming the user with advertising, it’s probably a good indicator that they’re investing in good hardware too.

Not that I wouldn’t totally geek out for weeks watching reviews and learning all the minutiae of light levels and color accuracy before pulling the trigger. The research is half the fun.

Gotta do the star fold with the thin stuff, get the grain aligned like plywood to keep it from splitting.
