Are the Brits OK?
  • Same deal here in the States. As part of the Migratory Bird Act, seagulls as well as almost every other bird save for pigeons and starlings, are protected. Killing one can land you in prison or up to 15,000 in fines.

  • What Kind of Natural Disasters Occur Where You Live? And How Have You Prepared for Them?
  • We also have to worry about Volcanos, mainly Mount Rainier. That fucker is likely going to wipe out Orting, Puyallup and Eastern Tacoma/Fife. I5 is going to be impacted in a few spots. The entire region will be reeling from that explosion for weeks, if not months.

  • The transition from the holiday season back to the normal drudgery is so depressing. Is there any way to make Jan / Feb less depressing?
  • I leave our lights up through Mardi Gras. We live in Seattle so darkness is our friend until March. Leaving them up through the long dark makes a 5a start seem less irritating and I feel like it brightens up the neighborhood a bit. We have also put up some year round, inoffensive, hipster lights that are either party/relax, depending on your mood.

  • As an adult, what seemingly childish things do you get excited about?
  • Went to Iceland in November. First stop was Geysir, located near Gulfoss. After waiting for twenty or thirty we learned it rarely goes off anymore and the new one is an additional hike. I'm still bummed I didn't get to see it go off.

  • I hate how the holidays create all this extra responsibility and stress out of nowhere and then the media / culture also act like you're meant to be having such fun the whole time
  • This year I started Holiday shopping about 6 months ago. I am 99% done, just have to wrap them. Cut way down on my stress levels. 10/10 would recommend.

    Don't let others dictate how you feel around the Holidays. Need some days off for you? Take em. Don't want to drive/fly across the country? Don't. There will be a next year. Focus on the now and how you feel.

  • America needs more small cars!!

    I'm currently driving around Iceland. I have seen a Renault Megane, a plethora of newer Yaris', one Yaris Cross (I lost my damned mind) and a crap ton of Suzuki Jimnys. Now, I've driven in some awful conditions in the states. Blizzards in Montana, Tornadoes in Texas, hail storms in the South and ridiculous wind in Arizona. I have driven in all of that in this tiny country, all in a short wheel base Kia Sportage. I was also outpaced by a fucking Yaris today, absolutely bombing down the mountain in 1c weather. Mind you, it was not a GR so AWD was out of the question.

    I am so impressed by this Kia and all of the insanely capable Jimnys I am seeing coming off of F-roads.

    If a harsh place like Iceland can coexist with RAM 2500s and modern Yaris', why can't we?

    Oh, and when I say around I don't mean poking around Reykjavik, I am literally driving the Ring Road around an entire country. Coolest experience ever.

    I actually enjoy humidity

    I am currently in North Carolina and while I will acknowledge it is hot, and the humidity doesn't help, it isn't particularly irritating. It's like a hug from the air. I've been to New Orleans at the end of summer when it's supposedly bad but I enjoyed it. It almost makes the heat a little bit more bearable because there is something to work with?

    Sorry if the photo is upside down. I tried rotating it but it still shows upside down when I upload.
