    Oh, how strange!

    I cut and paste the word from your post, so wasn't spelling it incorrectly. Didn't see this definition anywhere.

    Well in that case the definition describes perfectly what I mean.

    It still amazes me how my body can give me acid reflux for having cup a soup and bread.

    Steampunk would likely be oil patina brass or bronze with a hex-bolt pattern.

    I don't get the appeal of audiobooks. Anyone who reads can surely read faster than these books are narrated and am I the only person who retains next to nothing when I'm listening versus when I'm reading? Audiobooks are seriously advertised everywhere. I suppose their target audience are people who don't have time to read? Man, I don't know. I don't like audiobooks.

    I used a couple when I drove cross-country, buddy has several hours of commute every day. Makes sense for that purpose I guess.

    Had an uncomfortable dream about someone and it gave me the heebie-jeebies.

    Uncomfortable all day now.

    Had a dream that flatulence was a sign of coronavirus infection and every time I farted Mrs. A came running up with a thermometer.

    Weird.

    Took one of those "Which character are you?" quizzes and I matched 82% with Samwell Tarly of Game of Thrones. So, I'm a badass nerd who whines about being underappreciated while my significant other asks important plot questions I can't be bothered to listen to because they can't really read and don't know the burden being such a badass underappreciated nerd is.

    I did a few of those once. Ended up as Tywin Lanister every time.

    When I was a child, I thought I knew what being bored meant. How wrong I was. Since this, I have a true understanding of the word.
    I hoovered the whole house yesterday. I'd usually do it over a matter of days. I cleaned the bathroom too. But I still have the kitchen to tackle. Though I really don't want to. Think all my energy was used on hoovering and the bathroom. Now I'm in an energy deficit. Plus I kept waking through the night for no apparent purpose. Fun times, all in all. :dead:

    It really is like the apocalypse out there! Deathly silent roads and a dozen seagulls squawking overhead as they flee the coast.

    Truth is, there was no wolf. I dismembered my grandmother and murdered that lumberjack and I have not lost sleep since. In fact, I sleep better than now than I did before. It was a blood bath and I am finally clean, father.

    I feel like that's what they get...

    ----
    Just video called my brother and my niece was about to have a bath, so she kept waving and saying "bah bah" to me. She then took her bath towel and hid it from my sister-in-law, and then ran cheeks to the wind through the kitchen to hide behind my brother.

    It's the little things in life.

    Three things I noted.
    One: A thief is being described as one of the most dangerous criminals. Two: It says they were in a hospital, then goes on to call them inmates?
    Three: He was probably fatally shot. Either he was shot or he wasn't. Either it was fatal, or it wasn't. There is no grey there.

    But a fatally shot individual can't walk far, surely?
    Sounds like a cock up on all fronts to me.

    My only answer is Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old Men walked away from a car crash where he absolutely was fatally wounded, but his body was never found.

    I suppose if it was a headshot, then yeah, probably not. Or maybe one to the femoral, but I dunno. People are intense when they have something they gotta do and nothing can stop them.
