That’s kind of Jenny’s style though: long-form, ridiculously detailed discussion of a particular topic. Her fans seem to enjoy it, and if you treat it like a podcast to be listened to in the background while you do other stuff it’s tolerable.
I can’t imagine sitting down for 4+ hours to intently watch someone talk into a camera.
Who cares if it’s normal? Your choice to eat a PBJ every day hurts absolutely nobody and if anyone judges you for it I’ll smack them in the bicep with a rolled-up newspaper.
I just realised that I have never seen or used it, neither crude oil of course, but there are more variants of it than this natural mineral that powers a lot of the world....
I understand that modern outer layers are more functional. A leather jacket, for example, can be dressed up or down so as to be worn in a variety of situations. It is also better at keeping you warm....
A loud minority of Texans call for Independence, which is not really possible as far as I know, BUT could the Rest of the USA just kick another state (Not necessary Texas) out? Or is this also not possible?
Belief has nothing to do with anything. The resolution that granted Texas membership into the Union allowed for Texas to divide itself into five separate States, but not to leave the Union.
This probably doesn’t work for every kid, but when my niece did this I would reinforce the correct answer once or twice and then when she’d insist I’d go rogue. It always managed to defuse/derail what would otherwise be escalating chaos.
Using your example:
What road are we on?
Avenue D
No, we’re on 2nd street.
This is Avenue D, we just passed 2nd street.
The sign back there said 2nd street!
That’s because it was the sign for 2nd street, which we just passed.
No we’re on 2nd street now.
Actually we’re on 8th street.
Nuh uh!
Oh you’re right, we must be on Holiday Road.
That’s not… we’re on 2nd street!
I must be lost then, I thought we were on Farmer Boulevard. Maybe we should stop for directions?
No look at the signs! They tell you where we are!
That sign says 11th street, and that sign says Avenue D. Which one do you think we’re on?
Walmart is the only place where I’ve been stopped during the checkout process because the camera system thinks I’m stealing.
I’m a nerd that tries to minmax my self checkout by putting items in the cart or handbasket in a manner conducive to efficient removal. I’ll position the cart on my left, scanner in front, bags on right, and go as fast as the scanner will register the barcode and display the item on screen.
This works wonderfully everywhere else and I find it rather fun. I can count on Walmart to flag me at least once every trip (even though I slow down there for this reason), with the screen showing the flashing “POSSIBLE THEFT” message and video of me swiping an item quickly across the reader.
Maybe I should start parking the cart in the middle of the pathway like every other Walmart shopper and taking twenty seconds to dig every item out of the bottom of the cart before meandering around looking for where I set down the handheld scanner.
I converted my cable park to a USB-C cable (male to male) and lots of adapers (the short sort you can keep in a box) years ago. Yet i have still some devices with a mini-B female port....
If you like the “cutting back and forth between table and in-game” part, the Gamers series by Zombie Orpheus Entertainment would be right up your alley. Particularly “Dorkness Rising,” easily the most quotable film in the set.
“sigh My, what fine yet rustic architecture. I will examine it more closely.”
Rust: You declare the castle type as unsafe and then search for a crate with a rescue_princess function. You discover the princess you rescued is a femboy wolfkin named Pawws. You now have pubic lice and an inexplicable smug sense of superiority.

How did people tell time at night before clocks?
The sun dial worked during daylight, but how did people agree on what time it was at night before clocks were invented?
