Wow…

I recently learned to whistle as well! (in my late 30s). I’m bad at it, but finally can make a recognizable tune.

More recently though I’ve learned to cut my own hair :)

My favorite Halloween playlist. I return to it every year!

I don’t remember all of the details, but I thought it was essentially the water’s surface tension that foots the energy bill when climbing a paper towel or a capillary in a tree.

The surface of fluids like water are unhappy. Molecules on the surface would much rather be deep in the fluid because on the surface they have “dangling” Van der Waals & polar bonds to one side. You can calculate the potential energy of the surface due to all of those dangling weak bonds, & that’s the energy that is used to climb a capillary (the energy isn’t free).

I could be misremembering though, I admit. School was many years ago…

Nice clothes. She likes Free People, Anthropology, & Sundance. I try to choose a dress or jacket or something I think she might like (always get a gift receipt though!)

Small things. Sounds. The temperature of the air. The fact that my side isn’t hurting right now. The kids costumes who were just trick or treating at my house.

I’d rather teenagers be trick or treating than doing other stuff. If they come to my house they’ll get candy for sure.

Putting a wig on my best friend and spooning him while he’s asleep.

Russia is sanctioned for invading Ukraine.

If it’s a topic I’m super passionate about & there’s no community on Lemmy then sure. But I’m not going to start a new Lemmy community every time I want to post a random dog photo or whatever.

I’m Lemmy 99%. Can’t do 100% because sometimes there isn’t an equivalent community on Lemmy so I have no choice but to use Reddit.

I wanna try a drive-in movie! But I guess they were before my time… :(

Duolingo for talking to children

The part you remember was not about eating the animal due to hunger. He was observing that when he was away from “civilization” for long enough he noticed that he started to think in a more primal way. In that case, it was tearing a squirrel to shreds raw with his teeth! (or something) :)

He didn’t write “like it’s life or death”! Most of the book are meditations on nature and descriptions of landscape. If that’s what you came away with then you missed the point.

Read Walden by Thoreau
