And in a similar but completely different way, the fish are being added to massive bodies of water. Home aquariums are minute in comparison, so they can’t balance out chemical swings as easily and are much more prone to higher levels of nitrites and other toxic chemicals. The larger the body of water, the more stable the water quality.

I knew and I clicked anyway. God dammit.

Can’t say I’m enamored by the description of the plot, but I absolutely adore this album, so I’m still tempted to check it out.

I don’t run in gloves often because I’m so much warmer when I’m running than I am when I’m walking or standing outside. I generally dress as if it were 20 degrees warmer than it is, but it can be problematic for the first bit of a run. What I’ve found works best for me is running a short loop that comes back to my house in an easy to remove jacket, hat, and gloves that I can drop off at the door on my way past then continuing with the bulk of my run. In these cases any old gloves will do. When I do wear gloves for the full run, I wear a pair of thin, but insulated gloves from Heat that I got at Costco. They have silver in the fingers, so I can use my phone. It’s more difficult than without the gloves, but it’s not like I’m using my phone much mid run anyway.

I did not need to know this existed. I already dislike snakes, I think in part because I find their movement patterns alien and unpredictable, but this is just breaking my brain.

That said it could also be that I never find one until it’s underneath the log I just picked up or immediately under my foot as I’m walking. Very rarely do I see one from a distance and think “Oh cool a snake!”

My wife liked the idea of Eleanor if we had a girl, I never liked it, but luckily we had a boy, so we didn’t have to cross that bridge.

At work, we named the old, decrepit copier Opal in an effort to humanize it and get people to treat the old girl with more love and patience.

We are all mammal people on this blessed day.

I don’t think my head ever touches my headrest when I’m driving. Rarely, I’ll lean back while sitting still, but that’s the only time I’m ever even aware of it.

I’m torn between my love for character actress Margo Martindale and my desire to not give Amazon any of my money.

I drive a newer Tacoma. It looks like a little baby next to full-sized pickups, but it’s a giant if I pull up next to an older Tacoma at a traffic light.

I think most students are copying/pasting instructions to GPT, not uploading documents.

Well I didn’t have lose to Indiana by 45 and almost beat Ohio State on my bingo card. If we comfortably beat UCLA next week, I’m feeling alright on the season, but I’m haunted by not clinching bowl eligibility last year in three winnable games.

After watching Raiola overthrow wide-open Fidone against Illinois and Barney twice today, I swear he is allergic to throwing tds.

Nebraska vs Ohio State

Not that I expected us to win this or have much of a chance, but these refs are killing any hope I had left.

The good news here is that all the signs in Cherry county still all only account for fifteen voters (thank goodness cattle can’t vote), so a lot of Osborne signs in Omaha is still a good sign. My mom is very excited for him in Grand Island. There’s some support out west.

I, a high school English teacher, reread “A Good Man is Hard to Find” today. Shit hits different when you have your own kids.

I just started getting into Enshrouded. It seems fun so far, but I haven’t gotten very far yet. I’m playing with a group of friends and it seems a little harder to juggle solo vs group play in Enshrouded than it was in Valheim since it’s more quest/exploration based for experience.

What harm ever came from reading a book?

I want this too, but I wish I didn’t have to suffer through the proof on Saturday afternoon.

Our (Nebraska’s) second half performance does not give me any hope for the rest of this game.
