    My mom got the Alexa smart lights (?) and gets so smug because she can say “Alexa, turn the light on in the dogs room to 50-percent brightness”.

    To the point I get annoyed walking in a room in my house that I can't tell alexa to turn the lights on in (usually because the wife manually turned them off at the switch)

    I have never heard of this person before but he's from my area. He recently died and left behind 3 kids doing his life's work which was saving dogs. Idk why you need small planes to rescue dogs but obviously dude had a huge heart. If you wanna donate a few bucks this holiday season, seems like a good cause.

    I did London Brussels Amsterdam at Christmas time a few years ago. It gets dark early and the weather is pretty cold and wet. We did a lot of museums and beer drinking. Amsterdam is the perfect first stop so you can be lit anywhere you go after that :prawl:

    So I'm legit considering putting a conversation pit in my living room instead of a couch.

    A classy one, of course.

    My dad had a VHS recording of a porn that had a perfect “conversation pit” from the 80s that was perfect. I’m at home for the holidays so I’ll see if I can find this for you.
