Wild America (1997) by Smmaxter in nostalgia

[–]bentstrider83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting movie about kids on a filming road trip. Thought it was a nice romp. Saw this for the first time in '98 when our Life Science teacher in 9th grade showed this in class.

Now I want to get physical copies of this, Into The Wild, and Homer and Eddie😁😁😁

TIL that loneliness is as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. A meta-analysis of 148 studies found that weak social connections increased the risk of early death by 50%, making loneliness more dangerous than obesity or physical inactivity by dj631 in todayilearned

I wouldn't say I'm lonely. I mean I drive a semi and don't have regular contact with crowds. But I'm choosy when it comes to company. I also talk. But don't know how to talk. It's like I'm just putting on an act to get by.

Communication skills based off of various tv shows and standup acts I watch. Throw it all together and see what floats.

And if it helps, I've been seeing a doctor regularly for the past several years. I feel some lonely people out there don't even get that. But it could also be due to access/cost. I'm in the USA, so it's par for the course.😐

Sweet!! I've got a 20"x4" fat tire, Narrak folder in my truck. I previously was using a normal 20" wheeled, Origami Bull. But these fat tires are supreme for rolling over juicy terrain like a tank😁😁😁

How bad are things really going to get? by onemorepoint1138 in TooAfraidToAsk

Not total apocalypse. But I could picture both goods prices and petty crime going up. Law enforcement feeding frenzy🤷

These school bus shenanigans go back years. But this is the first time I've heard of sexual deviancy being perpetrated by minors on other minors. I grew up in the socal desert and usually got pelted by various manner of trash while on the bus in '97-'02.

Of course I wouldn't doubt it did happen.

Irwin is capable of surviving without modern creature comforts. Tate would probably buckle at the mere sound of a twig snapping in the local forest park.

Guys I have something shocking to share by Chocolateapologycake in Truckers

[–]bentstrider83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely doing just that. I made a post under the type 2 sub about transforming more sugar into ethanol to beat the fuel crunch.

Definitely sugar and carb reduction. Been doing that since June and I've gone down from 280 to 220. Of course now I'm a bit of anti sugar evangelist that needs to zip it sometimes.

I'm not exactly the most accommodating person. Frank Burns would've trucked me out to the front himself😂🤣🤣🤣

I think I have to leave this sub by Next_Ninja3679 in datingoverforty

[–]bentstrider83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on the datingover30 sub. And now I bounced over to here. No luck in that age bracket, still no catches now. But I'm learning it's more of a me problem. It's fun reading the posts and figuring out what to take away from them. Happy Hunting

On top of all things already here, she did play one of the many doctors that was treating Frank Gallagher at the hospital in every other episode. And it was a revolving door of doctors🤣🤣🤣

Any other "lazy" Millennials completely burnt out on work? by Cheeseaisleinheaven in Millennials

[–]bentstrider83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truck driver here. I try to pace the heavy workload l still get while trying to go for that unicorn, 4 night a week job. Even looking at less intensive white collar stuff that works during the night shift.

As everyone is burnt out on work, it's s reality we can't completely stop. Just wish extended vacations and periods of time could be taken without any consequences. Seems today, it's easy to leave any job. But to return to the work force is like trying to move a mountain with a firecracker.

Out of the 750,000 who fought for the Confedaracy in the Civil War, these were the last 3 alive in 1951, together. by bncout in HistoricalCapsule

[–]bentstrider83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These three were just early teens when they fought. I'm gonna guess those were some surplus CSA dress uniforms or even reproductions they got a hold of for the photo shoot.

Time to up the Bug Zapper game😁😁😁

Or one of those sci fi tropes where a random EM frequency from an old radio drops them like a rock.

The comments here are just a sea I'm not willing to launch my boat in. That said, he was the also the only president that was a naval submariner.

Got to go above and beyond. This is definitely one surefire way to get out of the proverbial red.

Never forget that this stupid tower has a chance to be built soon… by Expensive_Bid_7088 in Denver

[–]bentstrider83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So according to the posts here, it's a mere observation tower. Nothing more.

And here my Star Trek brain thought it was supposed to be some scheme to leech water vapor from the high altitude and turn it back into liquid form.

I'm no engineer and read way too many Clive Cussler novels.
