Random Thread - Anything Goes

"Your brain has a thought. It translates that thought into a pattern of pressure waves. Then your lungs send air out of your body, but as you do that, you vibrate your vocal chords in just the right way and you move your mouth and tongue into just the right shapes that by the time the air leaves you, it’s embedded with a pattern of high and low pressure areas. The code in that air then spreads out to all the air in the vicinity, a little bit of which ends up in your friend’s ear, where it passes by their eardrum. When it does, it vibrates their eardrum in such a way as to pass on not only the code, but exactly where in the room it came from and the particular tone of voice it came with. The eardrum’s vibrations are transmitted through three tiny bones and into a little sac of fluid, which then transmits the information into electrical impulses and sends them up the auditory nerve and into the brain, where the information is decoded. And all of that happens in an eighth of a second, without any effort from either of you. Talking is a miracle."

Have any of you given thought as to what you might do when you retire? I've thought about this and I'm sure what I want to do will change later in my life, but carpentry is really interesting and fun to me. I will most likely try to master that if I ever am able to retire.
I plan to retire by 55, and travel the world with my people. I mean, I'm going to travel when I'm younger too, because life is too fucking short not to. But, I plan to retire young and enjoy my life.

Yes, but that changes the context, so the words change, naturally.

You'd think making it hard to get in and so expensive would have made it obvious that they didn't want people to go.

Reverse psychology. It only makes people want to go more.
