IG is fine if you follow quality content and don't squander time on garage pictures and the like.

I saw that, and thought, "Inspector General?", not Instagram.
Which reminds me - when I was promoted to Associate Director, the first thing that popped into my head was a line from the Danny Kaye flick "The Inspector General": "What does an Inspector General do, anyway? Inspect Generals? Or generally inspect?"
I thought, "What does an Associate Director do, anyway? Direct Associates? Or associate with Directors?" Turns out it was mostly the former, till they laid off my Associates, and since then it's been mostly the latter.

I was trying to figure out why 10 players on the rear deck but they had the DH by then so that’s why.

I don’t get it. When I am home my sleep schedule is consistent, when I am at work it changes, but I typically get even more sleep or more time in bed. it’s been low now for a month consistently. I am not stressed, I do not feel fatigued, and I am not sick currently. I am currently scratching my head.
It first took a dive into the unbalanced abyss when I did indeed get sick, but it has never gone back to what I think is normal. My fitbit reported 55-65 on the regular, however I am not convinced that took a constant reading like my garmin does.
Apple watch for instance gives you the best number in the night which is not accurate at all. I hit 74 last night according to my garmin and apple reported my HrV status as 74 even though that was only for a minute or 2.

$1500 for a Rolls? It must be in even ****tier condition than it looks from the picture!
I see a lot of rusted out hulks on FB Marketplace with ridiculous prices attached. Sure, there are some project cars, but some, it looks like they just went out, cut down the weeds around that car that's been sitting rusting in the yard for 40 years, and took a couple pictures, and now they're want somebody to pay them for the privilege of hauling it away.

Amelia lost her first tooth yesterday. She is super excited. Does that mean it’s time for her to get a job?

There really is nothing at all good about a mid 70's to late 80's Rolls Royce. Maybe an LS swap and a nice tube frame would make it more appealing.

“G3 refers to groups of three parallel straight-pull spokes, which are arranged in a 2:1 ratio, so one side of the wheel has twice as many spokes as the other.”
It’s a Campy thing. Just goggle “G3 spoke lacing.”
