"Where does Coily fit into God's plan for us?"

yes at home I use the Bluetooth speakers but in the car I do my Plantronics Voyager UC.

You can fail at reading a book. Like Ulysses by James Joyce 🙂

I didn't finish Game of Thrones, but I like to think of that as the book having failed.

I've been thinking about watching it. I think after I finish up with Breaking Bad it will be my next watch.

I haven't seen that either, even those I look like the main character apparently.

@scottalanmiller oh right, forgot how long a commute you had. The Tesla could handle that, but you'd probably want a charging station at work to be sure. Is it 100 miles total, or 100 miles each way?

100 miles total. But charging at home isn't possible either, my parking lot doesn't have charging stations.

We really want a Tesla, but even the long range model would only be useful for commuting. It's range is about 20% shy of being enough to be able to use for our weekend trips to visit family. If they could break that threshold we'd be really close to being able and willing to figure out how to make one work for us. I love the Tesla, it's amazing.

Creepy

Jeebus Crust That is creepy.

Aereo is actually going to pivot their business model. They're going to take all the unwanted children born to Hobby Lobby employees who can't afford birth control, and sell them to consumers to stand outside their houses and hold up TV antennas. Win win!

I picked up the two main games I wanted, which were Transistor and Broforce.

I have a glass of wine every night with my evening meal at around six. Then a pint of beer at eight. Possibly a bourbon before bed. I go out rarely these days, maybe once a fortnight, but when I do it's never more than four pints of beer. I'm at the limit of what the UK government recommends, but there seems to be very little evidence that what some people call "heavy drinking" actually shortens life. And it certainly makes life more bearable!

I'm drinking more (and working less) at the moment because we're having an unusually warm and sunny summer here in England and warm weather + cold lager + garden = heaven.

Posting on ML and contemplating joining the Toastmasters, per @Katie 's recommendation.

I've always wondered if Toastmasters would be any good. I know what it is but have never seen it in action. I present often at other things so kind of ignored it because I get more mileage from other venues.

I'm already a rock solid speaker, as you can attest to. I just enjoy public speaking and don't get to do it very often. I thought this might be a chance for me to do a little refining? Maybe? We'll see. I've been speaking in front of crowds of 100+ since 5. No lie or exaggeration there. So I'm pretty comfortable speaking to a crowd. Used to blow away professors in high school.

Heck, at 5th grade D.A.R.E graduation, I was told by several people the MAYOR of our little town couldn't hold a candle to me. Yeah. In sixth grade, when I didn't win the Oral Pexton award again, I was told by all the 6th grade teachers that I actually was selected but they were told I couldn't win it two years in a row. LOL

My hand just grew back. So I have that going for me.

Thanks for the link, I left my two cents.

I beat 2048 in a day - but I'm a veteran Threes player, and that is a much harder game.
