I think the goal of “Be Healthier” is fine, provided that you then list out what you are going to do to get there.

Though you don’t spend much time outside, the atmosphere created by the ongoing blizzard in Max Payne is something that I still remember.

Yeah, I mentioned that at the end of my comment.  

Came here to say this. Document where your stashes are and make sure they all have TODs or PODs! Name beneficiaries on all your retirement accounts! Have a file of login information!

Ditto on the Journey. The most egregious sin seems to boil down to “it was boring” - I do agree that the base engine was underpowered, but that’s it.

Meh, cheez-its taste like orange plastic.  They can’t even legally have the word Cheese in their name after the lawsuit.  

Cheese Nips were 100% better than Cheez-Its.

Yes, the first 6 weeks of the year gyms tend to be crazy busy. Before 8am and after 6pm particularly, as people try to get in before or after work.

Coming back from Spain in 1993, I made it all the way to the gate with the sword I bought in Toledo. The stewardess wouldn’t let me on the plane with it, primarily because the box it was in was 6'x2'. Neither the check-in desk, nor security had cared.

In my experience, you have to be fairly high up to negotiate PTO weeks and/or working for a smaller company.

Maybe she’s stretching

No mention of leftovers as a massive Pro for cooking at home?

I was wondering why there were so many young women on the treadmills at the crazy inclines recently.  

When in doubt, take the check to the bank and ask them if it’s legit. They should be upfront with you in terms how long it will take to be verified not just by them, but by the issuing bank, what your actions should be, etc.

Years ago when I was in workforce planning we tried this. Three 13.33 hour shifts in a row. The first people wanted it so they could work Fri-Sun or Sat-Mon. We started calling them “Weekend Warrior” shifts.

Clive Barker’s Undying deserves some love.

George Carlin:

Came here to suggest this. The first few times oil trapped in the filter surprises you with the top-down setup is good for a chuckle.

Of course they have - it’s just that these days, in the experience of my three kids, there isn’t a call for homework. No reminder from the teacher to turn it in. It’s frustrating when a kid forgets to turn in work or tells you they didn’t know it was due so they didn’t turn it in.  

The hardest thing for me, as a Gen X parent, is comprehending when it became an option to not turn in homework. I don’t know if it was the rise of online systems like Canvas/E-School, but even before that there was no coordinated collection of homework. Teachers had a tray that kids were expected to voluntarily turn…
