Fishing with 5-year olds.
Me: I think we should sing. It’s definitely time to sing.
V: Nooooooooo!!! It’s not time for that ever.
Me: So, I guess you think I’m a pretty bad singer.
V:…
Me: I guess there are not many things worse than my singing.
V: A really bad car crash. Like remember that time when—
Me: okay, okay. Quiet time.

Don’t worry, you can still apply for a permit.

I’m sorry Alice. My thoughts are with you, Gunn, and the family.
Hey Guys
Thanks for all of your support and kind words. It really means a lot.

On cancer and my Dad, a fighter.
He’s had it before and beaten it, or so we thought. About seven years ago, my Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. They removed the prostate, but over the years his PSA - the marker by which prostate cancer is measured in the body - had steadily risen. Well, not steadily, it would go up and come down, and in the process kept my dad and us in a constant state of flux.
PSA has apparently...

50 minutes to Jerez test #1.
Cannot wait, the engines are about to fire up. Will Red Bull continue to maintain its pace on the field minus the blown diffuser? Will whatever Mclaren was hiding with its absence of a diffuser and dummy tailpipes at launch stymie the field, and will Lewis fight back to reclaim his #1 position in the team? Can Kimi return Lotus to its former standing as a championship contender? Is Mercedes’...

As you approach the speed of light, according to Einstein’s theory of Special Relativity, time begins to slow down. This has been proven with experiments.

Yes, so technically, as he approached the speed of light, time slowed. Had he not exceeded it, he would have...

Men’s souls wrestle with the thought of tomorrow… and today is tomorrow.
Red Bull Racing’s 2012 contender, the RB8, via laser and light projection on the car. Very nicely done.
ETA: Wow, this is kind of interesting. The “Men’s Souls” quote above appears to come from the first 80 seconds of a very obscure 1941 short film, “Always Tomorrow,“ which...

screenwritingtips:
Consider making your scene structure mirror your story world — oblique and elliptical for a spy thriller or noir mystery, straightforward and to-the-point for a bubbly comedy, etc.

Did you just go from meritocracy to plutocracy in one decision flat? Guys, this is a seriously bad idea which betrays the same ignorance of the space as did McDonald’s #useofthehashtag. The thing is though, this is your own platform. I can hardly begrudge a bunch of white hairs who wouldn’t eat their own food for not getting it, but you guys? The great thing about Tumblr has always...

Garbage disposal Protip:
Over time, no matter how clean you keep your sink, minuscule bits of trapped debris and bacteria will eventually build up in the disposal’s works, leading to an odor varying from faint to downright wrong.
You can attack with various chemicals, but an old-school plumber once taught me a cheap, chemical-free trick: first, pour a large bowl full of ice into the sink, letting the disposal fill....

neonlily:
So to preface this post, I have a degree in Microbiology. I also am sitting in my Microbiology lecture for my Medical Lab Sciences course. This does not mean I know everything, but I would hope I have some knowledge on the matter.

I appreciate what you’re saying, but I’d love some statistical context,...

i remember now.
The last time I quit smoking, I did so with an awareness that cravings come and go in 3-5 minute spans - if I could ride out those few ticks, it would pass. This is true. So really, it’s no worse than watching a single SNL skit circa ‘80-‘81, or that Jack in the Box Jumbaco commercial.
