I really appreciate your and @[email protected] replies. I live in an area where multiple time zones are part of life, but didn’t see how this could actually be beneficial. I’ve had to do some funky stuff to know what time it is, but like you say, I wouldn’t need to do that with this. Thanks for helping me see the importance of this!
I struggle to see a reason for this, even with the example provided in the article. I think it would be annoying for folks who live at the edge of two zones, but I also think it will continue to be a setting that could be cycled.
Is the minister named Peter Gabriel?
Not for new books, but vellichor is a relatively new word to describe the scent of old books.
I haven’t seen a finger harp for awhile.
I don’t know but sounds like a great intro for a joke.
What?! That’s incredible. I think I can say with confidence it wasn’t my Aunt 😬 Incredible story, I’m going to ask.
I’m not sure I’ve seen that movie but I do remember one where some kids (or one kid?) rode bikes into an old quarry. I grew up near old quarries in southern Ohio and heard the same things you mentioned, and likewise never did those things. My Aunt worked at IU in the 60s, I am going to ask if she ever heard about this if she can remember. She was a librarian there.
Neat picture! Was this essentially a one time use quarry? I understand that the Empire State Building is very large, maybe it exhausted the stone. I wonder what the “ponds” are used for now?
Looking good! We got out at work and did some lunging and a bit of riding. It was warm! But we have a winter system moving in and it looks like it will be cold after that. We need the snow here, looks like you still have some!
Wow that actually seems really good.
What is the shelf life for these?
I am about to switch to a pixel 7a from a 3a and am facing this issue. My wired ear buds date to some type of sandisk mp3 player I bought about 15 years ago and are pretty rough, so I have been looking at my wired options. Thanks for this post!
Most recently I listened to the complete album “The Dark Side of the Moon” multiple times due to a misunderstanding about an emoji, buy otherwise i have been listening to Les Big Byrd, Mazzy Star, Molchat Doma. Mazzy Star is probably closest to what you shared, but certainly not the same. I was cleaning out my folks basement over Xmas and ran across some of my old compact discs , including some Townes Van Zandt. Looking forward to getting into those!
I guess this is why only that one nostril clogs up.
Yes! After looking at some photos I am quite sure of it. OP would be disappointed 😬
I understand Norway/Sweden/Finland has some type of candy that is exceptionally different. In my head, it is sour, but I can’t find it in a quick search and the name isn’t something I could easily remember…
Edit: after thinking a bit, I am now pretty sure what I am thinking of is actually a really strong licorice, not a sour candy. Sorry for probably being misleading.
True! We rented time at the arena in town last year and it was nice because it was out of the wind and the ground wasn’t frozen. Still cold, I wanted to wear a glove on my rein hand!
When I was a teenager, I worked in a garden department of a store. We had plants to water. The pipes for the water had shutoffs in the ceiling in addition to the faucets themselves. I was working over the weekend and needed to water the plants, but no water would come out. The ceiling shutoffs were open, but I had heard there was a master shutoff just inside the store.
So I went in and was looking around on the walls, following pipes, and found this very large pipe with a shutoff on it. It had a tag hanging on it that said “emergency test” but my teen brain thought this meant it had been tested and passed inspection.
I turned it on and went outside, only to find an enormous amount of water coming out a different pipe, some kind of drain. Not what I wanted! When I reentered the store, the fire alarm was going off, but I thought nothing of it, shut the valve, and went about my business. By the time I got back outside, the fire department was there.
About 15 minutes later, fire folks in full gear were in my area poking around with the boss. I asked what happened, and they said for some reason there was a pressure drop in the sprinkler system and it triggered an automatic response 😬 I told them what I did, and they said they were too old for this, and then left. Not a great decision for me that day…
Since you’ve been obsessed with them lately, have you seen Who Is Cletis Tout? Great film that features some carrier pigeon action and an unconventional cast.
