Ah! Makes sense. Here we get snow by the meter. Even in the city on plowed sidewalks Doc’s just don’t cut it unfortunately.

I wear Doc’s a lot but never in winter! They’re just ice skates in disguise.
That’s fucking terrifying!
Or big wokeness
I do the same! And you know, I think this is a hobby by itself. It’s also very useful when talking with strangers if they tell you they practice one of the hobbies you’ve binged on. You can ask them more pointed, interesting questions and it makes for great conversations!
My first thought reading the question “blood in the streets”. Coffee has been around for hundreds of years and is deeply cultural in many parts of the world. I don’t see any reality where that could happen.
Oh I see. I’m sorry, you guys in medical really have it fucking hard. Hang in there, and best of luck!
That sounds very satisfying, wow! I swear to god, half the meetings I attend are just soooo unproductive. Talk about this project, where we were, where we are, where we are going. But it always ends up that I have to jog people’s memory, ask why what was supposed to get done didn’t and when it will be. Rinse and repeat. I love that approach, makes people accountable and saves everyone’s time.
That’s a big one. Also lack of hobbies or passions.
That’s more like part-time honestly, doesn’t make any sense. But your hours are intense. I did that 50/60 hours a week years ago, I’ll never do that again. I’m at 35 now and considering asking for a 4 day 32 hours schedule next year. And I WFH full time. I’m done organizing my life around work.
A lot of great recommendations in the tread and I don’t have much to add but for something a little different, here are my suggestions :
DayDream Gaming - Cool and/or relaxing walks through game worlds like Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, horseback riding in RDR, etc.
dulevoz - Cabview train rides full of cool details like the number of tunnels, elevation, engine types, etc. You don’t need to be a train nerd, try it, it’s absolutely fantastic and relaxing!
Virtual Railfan - Live cams at famous railroad crossings, just for the fun of watching trains go by or watch the scenery
StreamTime Live - live cams at various harbours in the US
M. B. Archives - Commentary tracks from various movies (the latest being The French Connection, rip William Friedkin)
I could listen to Max Miller tell stories for hours, love his upbeat tone and sly sense of humour.
Great list, I follow a lot of the same channels! I’d add EmpLemon and Bright Sun Films if you don’t already follow. Solar Sands is exceptionally good.
One thing that bugs me is people asking for/using tools that replicate the look and feel of Reddit instead of learning the ropes. I left Reddit, I don’t want another one. I get it, familiarity is comforting, but when the user base is a fraction of the other platform, no UI or app will ever give you the same experience. I say move on, get out of your comfort zone and participate.
Fuck, somehow I had forgotten about Mark Lanegan’s passing.
Boxing in real life is not like boxing in movies. No fighter can go 12 rounds just throwing hands all the time. The clinch is used often for strategic purposes, to stop the momentum or interrupt the rhythm of the other fighter. It also is used to get some kind of rest when one is getting pummelled and can’t find a way out.
Sometimes it’s abused of course. But it is very much a part of the sport.
The Dead Flag Blues. All of it. It went like this…
Great one. The ending is SO good.
You look great! I’ve interviewed my fair share of help desk people, some with rumpled clothes or worst, smelly clothes. Keep them clean and not wrinkled and you’ll be fine. Great advice all around in the other comments. And take note of the belt one especially, it has to be clasped above the zipper. You got this!
