Yeah and just imagine the car insurance costs for those apocalypse-mobiles. It would cost a small fucking fortune every month! How can anyone afford to drive one of those?

This reminds me. I should watch minority report again.

I feel like this witch should say "Foiled!" more often.

Just pee in your green tea and add a cup of sugar per cup of pee tea.

It will look like mountain dew and get you sweating like mountain dew and taste like SHIT!

Urine: the taste of the great outdoors!

Decreasing privacy does little to stop bad actors. That is an odd and false correlation.

Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs. (sh.itjust.works)

Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.

Is physical media still available for most Disney stuff? How viable an alternative is that now?

I think I agree with much of this. I'll have to come back later and re-read more carefully but by and large this looks great.

But good luck getting English teachers onboard.

“Koke bøker” means “to cook books”. The correct way is “kokebøker” and means “cookbooks”

Interesting idiom in English: To cook the books

This means to do dishonest accounting and make it look good for auditing. Might be two sets of books or similar fuckery.

I assume that "Koke boker" means to cook books physically on a stove or in an oven. But the way you stated it I might mis-interpret it to be dishonest accounting.

There are some words that have fallen out of use that may be helpful. Overmorrow and score ( as in "...fourscore and seven...") come to mind. There may be others and I think it would be interesting to research.

Point being that English may have already solved this problem and forgotten the solutions.

True that. I'm less careful when using my compound miter saw or circular saw.

I keep several full size 30' tape measures in different places like my truck, kitchen junk drawer and (of course) toolboxes. You might find that more useful than a 6'. Cheap ones are fine, I think, as long as you don't drop them.

Did you forget your ear? I thought all woodworkers kept their pencil on their ear.

I recently bought an electrician's pouch that velcros around my belt. Great for holding screws, square and pencils. Think of it as a wall cup on your belt.

Get a metal one and put it in the dishwasher. Or get a bottle brush.

Also, occasionally filling it with white vinegar and letting it sit overnight can help clean deposits.

ETA: In general putting plastic in the dishwasher is not advised.

I second a headlamp. Almost mandatory if you're camping I think. I got some cheap ones and use them around the house / garage too. More useful than they seem at first glance.

Take my money!

I've carried a SAK for years. I now also have a cheap benchmade knockoff with pocket clip and flipper. So easy to pull out and open that I almost never use my SAK. Hopefully a pocket clip will change that.

Love this idea, thanks. (I know you bought a belt clip and I'm going to buy a pocket clip but you gave me the idea).
