    Where Can We Find Solar Eclipse Glasses (Not Online)?

    We're in the path of totality and our local libraries have been giving them away. Amazon seems to have them: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=solar+eclipse+glasses&crid=3UQIXUEF0GJW1&sprefix=solar+ecli%2Caps%2C113&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_10

    Baltimore Key Bridge collapss

    The bridge is about 46 years old and I would assume not originally designed to withstand the force of today's cargo ships, but I also don't know much about it.

    Ah I see. I was looking at it on my phone so that was hard to see. I did see smoke.

    Baltimore Key Bridge collapss

    Yes I definitely am getting one of those for each vehicle. I'll check out the mythbusters! I watched the video of the collapse; I don't feel it was intentional but bizarre watching them drive straight into the support. Not sure how that could have been missed, unless something was wrong with...

    Oh no. I didn't know there were guys up there too. Oh how horrible.

    Baltimore Key Bridge collapss

    Horrible incident overnight. It's unsettling to think about places you've driven all your life and you just assume it will always be there, not realizing one incident can change the entire landscape. Key Bridge on 695 hit by a cargo ship around 140am...

    Where’s the cheapest place to buy magic bands?

    I purchased 2 last year on ebay, both solid color ones. In original packaging and unlinked, I think I paid about 14 dollars each.

    Balto "The animated movie"

    Yes, one of my favorites. I used to watch it quite often. It has an excellent score as well composed by James Horner.

    Stacy's Pita Chips

    I like them but too expensive. I usually go for the Aldi or Wegmans brand equivalent.

    Which animated movies did you mistakenly think were Disney movies?

    I was a big Don Bluth fan as a kid and probably watched his stuff more than Disney films. Like BrianL I was attuned to all of that young so there weren't any I mistook for a Disney film.

    Eat at Home 3!

    I just wanted to post this because it's a great way to meal prep common ingredients at the beginning of the week then assemble meals out of them very quickly each night. This guy has consistently great content.

    Workout: What did you do today?

    I work best with a boring predictable regimen. So for the last month I have been doing - 15 min on rowing machine at 28 strokes per min - 5 minute full body dumbbell video - 10 minute back and neck stretching videos - Try to hit 10k daily steps; today was only 8k though. On nicer days or...

    Fridge/Freezers

    Side by side in the kitchen, I keep minimal stuff in its freezer. Full upright freezer in the basement that stores most stuff. Then an overflow/drinks french door fridge/drawer freezer in the garage. And a mini fridge in the hangout shed. Blessed with an abundance of refrigeration!

    Debt Dumpers 2024

    There is no requirement to heat them in the bag. It's an extra marketed convenience if you want to use the bag that way. I pour portions out into either a pan to sautee or steam with a touch of water in the bottom of a pot, or portion into a glass bowl to microwave. You should be able to cut a...

    Debt Dumpers 2024

    Try not to let her get to you. Sounds like she is projecting some personal guilt on to you. Keep working on yourself and just hope that eventually it may motivate her to do the same. Constantly sedentary and not eating any fruits or vegetables is going to catch up with her at some point...

    Debt Dumpers 2024

    Bummer. That's not old at all! It's not everyone's cup of tea but I don't trade in, I sell privately for more. The dealer was going to give us $200 to "take the van off our hands" and I sold it privately the very next day instead for $1000. And that was a rusted old 2005 Town and Country with...

    Are there any old family superstitions that you still observe?

    I was always told growing up never to make crab soup during a thunderstorm or it will spoil. So I don't.
