Don’t forget your briefcase full of bees when you go to work

Growing up my dad would regularly commute out of town for a week, always leaving Monday morning and returning Friday night. My dog would be waiting by the garage door on those Fridays, but only on Fridays, she never waited any other day of the week.

So some dogs are definitely accurate sources of information regarding weekdays.

I used to work in a phone repair shop, I have no clue what that guy is talking about. Ive replaced the battery on dozens of pixels and never had the screen break on me. He most likely said that because there is always some risk of something breaking during the repair, so by stating it up front he won’t get any angry customers after the fact.

Great explanation, although I want to clarify that not all nebulae are galaxies. Nebulas are massive clouds of dust and gas that are found within galaxies. Other galaxies were previously thought to be nebulas in space outside of the Milky Way, called extragalactic nebulae. However, in the early 1900s it was proven that these were actually other galaxies and not nebulas, so the term is no longer used.

While there are nebulae in other galaxies, they are not easily visible to us, so the word nebula generally refers to those contained within the Milky Way.

I enjoy listening to The HU. They are a Mongolian Metal/rock band. Most of their songs have lyrics, but it’s all in Mongolian so I just treat the vocals as another instrument and it may as well be instrumental to me.

Start with your local library and any other libraries in your area, because they should be free to sign up for.

Then there are some that have an annual fee for out of state residents, this article covers many of them. I’ve heard that you can get around this fee at some libraries by picking a random in state address, though I’ve never tried it myself.

Additionally, the Seattle public library allows a free card for anyone in the US under the age of 26, and Brooklyn public library does the same for anyone under 21.

I don’t think piracy is the best solution for books, instead download an e library app like Libby. Then connect one or multiple library cards (some major libraries allow you to get an e-card even if you don’t live in the city). Now you have easy access to a huge catalog of books and ebooks that sync across devices
