    Yeah wife is still passed out. Originally we were going to go to b-dubs today for lunch and finish cleaning out our storage unit before our neighbor's bbq tonight.

    Now I just want to die peacefully instead of doing any of that.

    are YOU on the beer list?

    Hitting the point of diminishing returns in genealogy research

    I have spent three days documenting every single person with a given first name, surname combination in the Glasgow Electoral Registers from 1891-1939

    That's 430 entries across 118 distinct addresses

    my great grandfather might as well have been named Angus MacScotchface

    it's absurd

    in the genealogy charts my grandparents put together, basically every Scandinavian ancestor had a name like Bjørn Bjørnson

    I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.

    this cracks me up because it reminds me of the ritual in my mid/late 20s where we'd all be completely hammered at like 3am and someone would be like GUYS LET'S DO BRUNCH TOMORROW

    and we'd all be like YAAAASSSSSSSSS

    and then no one would wake up before 2pm

    Oh in my mid 20s I was that guy. We'd all power drink four nights a week and go to a take out hibachi place that set up shop in a former Wendy's

    Now I am envisioning a day filled with sparkling water and me holding a beer tonight but not drinking it.

    on the one hand i am lucky that my direct Swedish line has a fairly unusual surname

    but on the other hand it stems from one of my ancestors in either the late 1700s or early 1800s just making up a new surname so it complicates things at that point

    I drank a little bourbon while I watched bake off. Not too much. Drank a lot of water and went to bed by midnight. I woke up at 8:30 and felt pretty great. I was not in it to win it.

    I’m not sure who made the mistake but one room of this baseball team in-house was booked for only one night and were sold out tonight


    Whooooops

    The booking options at hotels always trick me at first glance!

    In re: the Outer Wilds-mania that's been running fairly wild in chat

    I bought both the DLC and Life is Strange: True Colors last nite but now it's college football gameday and then tomorrow'll be NFL gameday and then it'll be the rest of my life, how can I possibly fit all these damned video games into my schedule? Hmm, perhaps when I'm descending all these stairs...

    It hasn’t happened to me yet but I’m pretty convinced that at some point I’m going to be on a trip only to learn I misbooked my lodging in some way- and I don’t have enough money to just casually grab other last minute arrangements without a plan/budget

    On that day I will die, I imagine

    i haven't misbooked lodging yet but i have had plans change and considered whether it was worth also booking a separate place

    but i didn't do that

    I misbooked one of my 3 hotels in Alaska this past september. The booking system sent me around in circles so many times I accidentally picked a booking for a week later than when I needed it.

    It was the hotel where we were staying for one night after the flight out, so we were totally exhausted and standing there in the lobby with all our luggage and nowhere to stay. The entire city fully booked. Eventually we found a hotel that was 20 minutes away. They had one free room: one of those weird sex suites with a giant tub in the middle for $400 per night.

    I took it instantly but there was definitely a good 15 minutes of pure panic calling places and getting turned down repeatedly.

    I was the only one to use the in-room sex tub. It took an hour to fill and my husband refused to get in but wished me luck with my staph infection.

    I’ve been on a road trip and I had a Marriott booked. But we weren’t going to make it. So we booked a motel 6 and canceled our Marriott reservations. And the Motel 6 was fine. I would book a motel 6 again if needed. It was clean and reasonably safe.

    I once flew to Japan with my parents who had somehow cocked up the hotel booking.

    Between Christmas and New year. So everything was booked.

    Luckily as we walked through the snow looking for hotels (this was pre mobile internet) an old dude I'd met on a previous trip recognised me, came to chat and then walked us over to a hotel where he knew the manager and sorted us out.

    I now inspect all booking details from my parents if we're travelling together. And ideally arrive a day after them and leave a day before. Or I handle the booking.

    Yes and no. You're not wrong, but there's some specific designs people have made for 2 horse trailers that I kind of like, plus the construction is generally better on the horse trailers than a used camper.

    I once drove from Denver to Kansas City. Hadn’t gotten enough sleep, hadn’t anticipated how exhausting it was to drive through the boring ass flatlands. I stopped at a 19 dollar motel. I napped for maybe a couple hours, found roaches, and got back on the road.
