  • We do somewhere between 72 and 76. But at night in the peak of summer we’ll bump it down to 70. Our bedroom is on the top floor and can often be several degrees hotter than the lower floor where the thermostat is, so for a few weeks in the summer we have to really crank it.

    I’m told we should look into a vent fan to help distribute the air better but I haven’t taken the time to put in the effort yet, I’m sad to say



  • There’s a scene from the OT that kills me. When they’re on Endor in the evening and Leia and Han are being “romantic” and it is some of the most soap opera dialogue in the whole series.

    Its arguably not terrible when you read it, but watching it I was rolling my eyes. People love to hate on the Padme+Anakin romance but the Han+Luke+Leia love triangle is equally as hard to watch, in my opinion. If we’re going to give one a hard time we can’t ignore the other. Lucas just isn’t the best at dialogue

    Leia holds back her tears as Luke slowly lets her go and moves away. He disappears onto the walkway that leads out of the village. Leia, bathed in moonlight, watches him go as Han comes out of the Chief’s hut and comes over to her. Leia is crying, her body trembling. He realizes only now that she is crying.

    HAN Hey, what’s goin’ on?

    Leia attempts to stifle her sobs and wipes her eyes.

    LEIA Nothing. I - just want to be alone for a little while.

    HAN (angry) Nothing? Come on, tell me. What’s goin’ on?

    She looks up at him, struggling to control herself.

    LEIA I…I can’t tell you.

    HAN (loses his temper) Did you tell Luke? Is that who you could tell?

    LEIA I…

    HAN Ahhh…

    He starts to walk away, exasperated, then stops and walks back to her.

    HAN I’m sorry.

    LEIA Hold me.

    Han gathers her tightly in his protective embrace.







  • 100%! It’s wild to me that the majority of Americans are just OK with not using one. Reddit introduced me to the concept and I have never looked back. You can get a super cheap introductory one on Amazon, but I would personally recommend the one by the Squatty Potty company, it’s superb quality.

    While you’re on the website for Squatty Potty, their namesake is another must have under $100. It revolutionized how I use the bathroom, and I have one in every bathroom in my house. If I use the bathroom at work, I end up sitting there missing my stool and bidet. It’s hard to go back once you’ve gotten closer towards perfection



  • Flipboard is a little more customizable but not sure if it meets all your requirements.

    You could also give Pocket a try, it has a “Discover” mode that could be what you’re looking for. Made by Mozilla so (hopefully) that comes with a little more privacy built in. It’d be my personal choice, but I’m not sure what features you need
