I’m not sure about the French translation, but another word for ground is Earth. As a guess, an environmentalist group is probably adapting it from that terminology.

Yes, but almost certainly not the same one you’re thinking of.

They all have that same joke attached to them:

“How do you make a small fortune?” “Start with a large fortune and buy a racecar/boat/sport bike etc.”

I’m a Nekkid Watchmaker man, myself. I like the ultra-chill musings that accompany the visuals.

Nice try, Lady.

There’s some outstanding science content out there. My newest find is Three Twentysix, a 2.5k-subscriber chemistry channel. I’ve already learned some new stuff from him that I hadn’t seen from The Professor or Nile Red.

I have a big list of favorites that I’ve shared recently, really solid creators, but that’s my hot tip for the day.

Those things amaze me. The way they manage to route just one sheet of paper through such an intricate and precise maze, I consider it next to miraculous that they don’t jam on every second operation.

Scratch notes all the time. I know I should keep longhand notes of my professional interactions, as they can be priceless legal records, but I’ve never been any good at it.

Dunno if you’re looking for streaming-only, but Black Books has always stood out as one of the more offbeat shows I’ve had the pleasure of watching.

The only time I ever slept comfortably in coach was when I was younger and on drugs.

These days, whenever it’s reasonable, I upgrade.

Never considered an extension cord. Don’t think the mrs would go for that. Ah well. At least it never gets too cold here.

How does that work? I don’t have hot water or an outlet in my toilet room. Did you have to renovate, or was there service already?

This has been discussed extensively on that website that we used to visit regularly. They wipe like that too. They don’t stand lock-kneed. It’s some sort of half squat.

No more stinky boots. Best $40 I’ve ever spent.
