It worked, he got over 100k worth:

Thanks! That article linked to the YouTube series I was thinking of:

Damn, I saw some guy on YouTube last year going through the parachutes harnesses in a barn of a deceased suspect (with permission) and he found the chute while talking to the camera. Was just turning over over on vest at a time in a box and stopped and said “this is it, we found it.”

I think the tape said they turned it over to the FBI? Anyone with more info?

Found the clip:

I just learned somewhere on YouTube that this saying originated because apples were thought to ward off or cure gonerea.

Got something against English people? Dude was born in the UK and is an Oxford dropout.

Never forget the iPod sock, released November 2004.

I genuinely love Robwords and watched one yesterday about lost negative words, but no, I looked this one up manually because I was curious. I’ll go look for Rob’s video today because I’d love to know more and he’s a great presenter.

I just learned the other day that in English “you” is the old formal.

Here in Pennsylvania, we know that Quakers used thee and thou far longer than anyone else. Turns out, that was a protest movement. You and yours were used for nobility and royalty, the piece I was reading said the “royal we” is a leftover from this setup.

As a protest against classism and politics, Quakers refused to use you and yours at all and used thee and thou for everyone regardless of status. Instead, common usage English went the other way and adopted you and yours for everyone.

My mother met old Quaker ladies in the 1950s who still used thee and thou in common conversation.

The very rare -solicited- dick pic. Dude should be flattered.

Modern libraries lack the money to pay people to do the basic things to take a book as you might get from the bookstore and get it ready to go into a library’s collection. These are things from picking a way to categorize the book so it can be found in the catalog, to adding the shelf numbers and sticker telling you what library owns it, to wrapping the outside of hardback books with that clear plastic, and several other important tasks. Big University libraries still have the staff to do this to books that don’t come from the major distributors but their time is precious.

Instead, libraries purchase what are called “shelf ready” services from the companies that distribute books specifically for libraries.

There were like 4 companies that worked with most libraries. When I was a Director we had Baker & Taylor and Ingram and would order form whoever had the shortest wait time or better price. Many places worked with just 1 distributor and B&T was one of the biggest and oldest.

So B&T announced a few months ago they were in financial trouble. Then ReaderLink said they were going to buy B&T so customers shouldn’t panic.

And then ReaderLink pulled out the deal suddenly and B&T is in shutdown and never going to reopen. Their staff were immediately laid off and flocked to the r/librarians and.r/libraries to tell us.

This leaves only Ingram and Brodart as the primary source for most libraries public and school alike. The fact that ReaderLink pulled out of their buyout deal is so worrying.

Thanks! My husband and I I watched this while we were in the UK for our wedding that year.

We opened up this Kyle Hill a few days ago to watch it since he’s in our regular rotation and stopped it in the intro, looked at one another and said “Oh shit! The J-curve thing!”

I love how Kyle covers this too. He’s great.

I thought finding my glasses without my glasses was hard enough. I recently bought trendy clear framed glasses and they are ghosts when I’m not wearing them.

I gave up and put a pair of black-framed spares next to my bed so I have a back up plan to find my glasses in the morning.

I had a cassette player in my Saturn that would turn the tape back about 2 seconds if you stopped and re-started it. It was the best feature ever.

Argentinian government debt is mostly owned by big American investment firms like Black Rock. If their economy crashes, American Oligarchs lose $$$$ so they convinced Trump this is in his best interests.

Yes! Shoot your Monk is standard GM advice! they took those powers to look badass, just give them one useless archer per combat and they will shine! And throw arrows!

Nope, just made of wool! The artist is @yast.anna on Instagram. She does felted animals and birds.

That doesn’t feel like a lot of money but public library directors aren’t paid very well so that’s likely more than 10 years of salary.

Oh, that halcyon era between The Witcher seasons 1 and 2 when you could just enjoy it fully and have expect the writers knew what they were doing.
