Depends, but if it’s a panic spiral I’ll try to make myself as big as possible for a moment. It’s a nice stretch but also helps reign in my brain.

I thought Philip DeFranco was independent? Wikipedia shows Rogue Rocket for his show?

After searching: The Roost is a podcast company but the page for Night lists them as acquiring the show. Podcast and YouTube show with the same name?

None of the online places even accepted my prescription last time I looked. Mine are about $800 for the lenses during a sale. They generally give me the frames for free when they see the cost of the lenses.

Insurance covers $200 every 2 years.

I miss when they had good hardware for a reasonable price. Some of my cheap original Logitech laser mice are still going, almost 2 decades later. Obviously not super heavy use as the switches have not worn out, but they’ve been shifted about the house as other mice break. So certainly not 0 use either.

The tasks have been things like our old media centre mouse died, the old Logi mouse “temporarily” replaced it until we replaced the media centre. It’s not been unused any longer than a few months at a time.

We tried buying some recently but the new ones are all optical so they had shit performance and died after maybe 3 months of light use.

Found the obituary. Family is requesting donations to the American Cancer society in lieu of flowers.

Declaring it a “very brutal way” for his wife to find out, he believes that there could’ve been a chance of the marriage continuing had he been able to “talk to her rationally.”

I’m not sure if he means he could continue his behaviour without being caught or if he planned on lying and saying it was a one time thing. Either way I highly doubt he had any plans to be honest.

The “talk to her rationally” bit is hilarious. Yes I’ve been expensively unfaithful, have possibly been exposing you to a number of diseases without your knowledge, and have been physically unavailable regularly for years. What self respecting person wouldn’t “rationally” see that as perfectly acceptable! /s

If it’s black you’re fine. Brown is shelter now.

Everyone I’ve talked to/know that do stats, forest work, work in the forest, etc. has flagged the same thing. There are a lot of deaths we can’t prove were grizzlies. The stats people all flag the missing person distribution. Areas known to have a heavy grizzly presence are noticeably higher than very low count areas. Lean years have noticeable spikes in those same areas.

The people that work back country have all encountered grizzlies that seemed too comfortable with human aimed hunting behaviour. In their words “bear spray don’t mean shit to a hungry adult grizzly”.

The campers killed in Banff reported a bear attack and sent an emergency GPS signal with the same message. Their route was pre-planned and communicated with someone staying behind. They checked in daily to report progress. They did everything right. It’s unusual, especially for leisure, that people do any of that.

Asked a few relevant people their opinions on the deaths. Opinions differed a bit on exactly what caused it to be officially recognized as a grizzly attack. They did all agree on 2 things. The campers were role models for proper back country safety. If they hadn’t been they would have just been another missing or cause of death unknown statistic.

Also vitamin K. Had low vit D blood work and doc upped vit D intake until we started to see side effects, still low on blood work. Added vit K, halved vit D intake and blood work is good now.

Not my oh shit moment but certainly someone’s. Working in a call centre they sent out an example of a fraud email that was being sent out with our logo. It asked for all your personal information and credit card information.

Several individuals replied with all their details filled in. 3 of them replied all (entire call centre) with their details filled in.
