Sounds like when I learned the hard way that if I was willing to put in the effort, I could make my own mozzarella that was almost as good and only cost a little bit more than store-bought.

That’s what I was thinking. Now I have original hardcovers of that, Hocus Pocus, Sirens of Titan, Breakfast of Champions, Galapagos and Timequake. SoT and BoC are missing the dust jackets but Hocus is signed (to my dad! They met in Long Island.)

I’d kill to find Mother Night for under a grand. It’s my favorite book of his. By a lot.

I bought a weighted blanket.

It hasn't come in yet, so no pic, but just imagine like... a regular blanket, and then make it weigh 25lbs, and you have the one I bought. Oh yea, was grey too.

I've had basically that same blanket since Xmas and its honestly fantastic. I miss it when I'm away from home. Get the cover for it though as it weighing that much can do some serious damage to a washing machine.

Love my weighted blanket. If I want to sleep in I turn my fan on high and toss on the weighted blanket. No waking me up after that!

A weighted blanket? Like, with lead plates in it or something? Don't mean to shop-shame, but what exactly is the point? This is one thing I never even considered that I might want.

They're typically filled with metal or glass beads. It's essentially a comfort thing. Laying under a heavy blanket just feels good. Not for warmth reasons, but it satisfies something else in the brain. A return to the womb? I don't know. But it's nice.

Long ago I remember finding a trade route in Escape Velocity: NOVA where I had a guaranteed profit buying / selling gear between systems. Like two hours in I realized I was doing virtual work for virtual money, and it suddenly hit me that I could be doing the same thing, but for real money.

The one I got has glass beads. Basically it's like a full body hug and it's supposed to be comforting and whatnot so you sleep really well. You go with 10% of your body weight for the blanket weight. I'm a goon, so it was big. Lighter blankets can cost less.

Didn't think about the cover but yea I'm gonna get one if the blanket works out.

Weighted blankets are superb if you have anxiety, as well. I suffer from very bad racing thoughts that lead to insomnia but a weighted blanket can turn that down to a dull roar.

I think I got the idea to buy it from this thread, but I picked up some Dr. Pepper & Cream Soda Zero Sugar. Might be the best diet soda I've ever had. The dissatisfying after taste in all diet sodas is almost non existent.

This is a big deal, I'm a Heinz Man. Still am, but our youngest son has got this idea that we ought to be a Felix Family.

So to make him happy we bought one of these bottles. He's so excited about it that when we got a visitor the next day he took her to the fridge and showed the bottle in the same way an adult would show of a bottle of fine scotch he just bought.

It makes me think of a scene in Portlandia with a retirement aged man skateboarding (bc that's what they do in Portland instead of golf). Why not? I cross a tiny bridge to get to work and it would be super fun to skate. Also that deck and those wheels are so nice I wouldn't wanna put wear on them.
