Pull a Joseph Smith: "Hey actually there's historic foundations here in this hole yeah look right here-oh! You scared the Victorian ghost so they're deeper now but I swear they were just here and anyway so I can build on it by right."

Best I have is telling myself that the breath of knowledge you'd need to get it all correct is impossible. Mistakes are inevitable. Thus, people being upset with you is also inevitable. "Standard of care" is very nebulous, so our professional goal is to minimize harm. Do your best, learn, improve.

If it's the wrong plane, it's someone with enough money to charter a G6 to Switzerland, so probably a VERY nice ski vacation. Sion is the closest airport to Zermatt.

Well your plane, right or wrong, just landed in Sion, Switzerland after being in a holding pattern around Bern for over half an hour.

Thank you for continuing to update us on what things are like there while you try to live a normal life.

Greenlights is an interesting ride. Audiobook is fantastic because we'll, it's his voice reading it.

Put your shoulder to the wheel.

This guy! Came here to say this guy! By a MILE. Ever since I first saw the film in theaters.

They've conveniently pre-defined the word "trust" to exclude any non-believers.

I don't know either of you and have no dog in this fight, but Project Hail Mary is one of the few instances where the audiobook actually enhanced what is already a great story. I've read it both ways, but keep going back to the audio version.

Spotify wrapped top albums showing Renee Rapp's bite me, kpop demon hunters, William Byrd liturgical music, Taylor Swift's midnights, and the Arcane soundtrack.

FINALLY, a design for the everyman. For years I've wondered where I'm supposed to bathe my coats in an American house.

Aesthetics over accuracy. It's the Mormon Way β„’

All easier to replace than a transmission!

You don't have an old 4runner, do you? Sounds like the throttle body sensor. If so, it's an electronics issue, not a transmission. Fairly easy fix, just gotta replace it. Good vibes sent.

Love this. The crazy lore of Mormonism is one of the least harmful parts.

Did he just tell the entire nation that they're prettier when they smile?

Definitely laughed loudly at this.

Maybe they're just fans of The Expanse.

This is funny because it's a canonically mormon spaceship.

This is a niche joke that deserves more likes.

I was going to say Lucy as well. The only level head watching the Muppet chaos ensue around her.

Now now, let's not be too hasty, she could have been classifying it under fantasy.

We did our best to innoculate our son when he was about 13. Can't stop him from running into it, but we tried to give him the tools to recognize and contextualize it.

I had a client who handed me a box of Blackwings a few years ago. I really love those.

Classic. And an age range that's affordable and fixable. Good choice

What did you end up with?

the symbolism of β€œTrump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called β€œNo Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction
