I have a list of Signs You are Getting Old. It includes things like “you own a Personal Hair Trimmer, but you use it only for your nose and ears”; and “every compliment you receive ends with the words ‘... for your age’”.

If we’re going for reuse/recycle, how about bamboo? It seems like they can make anything out of bamboo these days.

This is such good advice I feel a little bad even quibbling, but I have to say on the sleep one: People do differ, both in the rhythm and duration they need. Some people function best going to bed later and rising later; or sleeping fewer than 8 hours. The most important thing is to do as you did and listen to what

...who talks like that?

So wait a year for the demand for RV rentals to return to normal as hotels reopen, and get a bargain on an ex-rental RV as the rental firms find themselves owning a surplus?

A lot of the cars on the Hertz site are already listing below market. A couple of tips from somebody who has been looking into this ever since Tom wrote it up over on Jalopnik:

Which ones will protect the confidentiality of your video and not, for example, share your video with local police without your knowledge or consent?

I got an email from AT&T saying that I’ll get HBO Max for free with my 1GB internet subscription, which is cool. I can finally watch that “Game of Thrones” thing I keep hearing about.

That sounds like it would have been a really good movie. I’m imagining Judi Dench or Maggie Smith as the lead, Tommy Lee Jones (maybe a bit too old?) as the male lead.

He made a mistake that anybody who has ever cheated on a high school paper knows to avoid. If you’re a C student and you hire somebody to write your paper, you shoot for a B, because you know that an A is going to attract scrutiny.

In fairness, Jeep built one that rolled over before it even got out of IIHS crash testing, which was courteous of them.

The only reason for this movie to continue to exist is the sight of the naked ass of an obvious stand-in for Nicholson during the hospital scene. (I don’t know if the clumsy cuts are because Nicholson insisted that the director make it obvious it’s not his ass, or if it’s just edited that badly.)

This means that

I had a Kia Soul of the Damned as a rental once. What an awful experience. It handled like a fat drunk man trying to get out of a too-soft couch. Cornering felt like it had oversteer and understeer simultaneously. The whole thing felt like a rollover looking for somewhere convenient to happen.

Objectively speaking, this is probably the worst rom-com in modern movie history.

The entire business model of gyms is to persuade as many people as possible to sign up, and hope that as few as possible show up. 

I liked it for a couple of seasons, but it’s one of those shows where the more you (and the characters) know about what’s going on, the less interesting it becomes.

Also Tom Ellis’ vocal mannerisms get really tiring after a while.

Is there a service that has rentals and is cheaper than buying? My audio habit tends to trashy stuff to listen to in the car or the gym, and I don’t anticipate listening to any of it a second time! The article says you can rent from Audible, but I don’t see any option to do that?

If the movie is about a run for the White House, it has to be called Legally Blonde 3: Blonde Ambition

Somebody should tell Carpenter he can’t dig up.
