rafe is absolutely unhinged with her amazon reviews. also if you like a little spooky read, she enjoyed the DEMON AT THE WINDOW, which is about provincetown’s “devil of the dunes” https://www.trulyhorror.com/the-demon-at-the-window-provincetown-devil-of-the-dunes

caleb saw longlegs! no big spoilers; caleb liked it mostly. he’s also reading the lord of the ring, which is awesome. caleb is planning a trip to california to go to a movie premiere – the movie that rafe and caleb helped produce, called “art of a hit.”

help keep crowdtangle active so we have good transparency and fact-checking tools during the election! https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/crowdtangle-petition/

and PLEASE VOTE (not for trump). vote local, fight the politicians who are trying to take away human rights, and vote for the president that won’t take away human rights!

– bears or robots for world domination. who you got? what other faction would there be?
– for a movie about focusing, why was the movie focus so hard to focus on?
– are hyennas really laughing or is it how they communicate with each other
– how does one maintain focus when forced to work on ones birthday? do you stick with the standard coffee or upgrade to an energy drink?
– how does one maintain focus when another coworker keeps eating his or her lunch on occassion?
– when it comes to reading, I need silence and zero distractions, while others don’t lose focus on what they are reading no matter what background distractions are present. which type of reader are you?
– how many squints are too many for a movie? would tracking the squints have made that movie better?
– how many monitors and how many tabs is ideal? does having a 2nd monitor help or hurt your focus? (muah, I got there!)
– if more than one (monitor), what’s the ideal relative size?

HOT HOT TOPICS
– I still don’t know how credit scores work. I have a score over 800 and loans still have shitty interest rates.
– If you feel yourself getting into a state of panic, do you have a method or procedure that works for you to refocus, calm yourself, and get back to the task at hand?
– Given the state of world affairs, how do we foster a renewed spirit of empathy and compassion in such a divided world?
– In the line of the “conclusions mat” from office space, what do we think about state-mints? mints in the shape of states with unique flavors? or flavors for different expressions/styles?
– after 3 days of 96-101 degrees temperatures outside I believe my brain is officially in a gaseous state, and no longer solid. are we just ok letting global warming kill us off slowly at this point?
– (topical topic) how much schadenfreude is “too much” schadenfreude? at what point does saying “they got what they deserved” turn into “I’m an absolute ghoul who thrives on the suffering of people I don’t like”?
– should the hospital of a state-run university have pastoral care? long story short, I was in the hospital for 6 nights, and on the first full day a pastor came and sang songs from a list. mostly secular songs on the list but there were christian hymns that patients could pick as well. is that an establishment clause concern?
– should new parents be evaluated before leaving the hospital with the new born? some people just arent meant to be parents.

just a reminder that the supreme court sucks, and republicans are trying to scare americans into thinking that undocumented aliens are voting (spoilers, they’re not).

caleb had a great time with his nephew, mom, and the scientist in frederick and DC. there was a candy mishap, but that also created something magical. caleb tried old bay goldfish crackers and played a TON of different card games, like spades and hearts! rafe tried balsamic vinegar & salt chips. what a great food experience! and rafe is obsessed with pokemon go again, FOR NOW. pokemon go has added quite a few fun things since last time she played.

also don’t forget to enjoy CALEB RACING – final fantasy randomizer food race! july 21st.

– when you were a kid, which dinosaur did you think could totally beat the others in a fight?
– my son, who is ten, likes the jurassic world movies better than the jurassic park movies. am I parenting him wrong?
– this is a very basic hht, but the mention of silversun pickups in the other thread made me think to ask – who are 3 musical acts you’d each pick who are VASTLY underrated or forgotten by the zeitgeist?
– the bathroom at work is in the middle of the building. it is like a faraday cage so there is no cell phone service or wifi available while doing your business. should I start bringing magazines to work?
– did you ever get all your assorted dino nuggies, dino tots (or other potato based food fried in the shape of a dino) and your flinstones vitamins dinos all together and have a massive dinosaur laser fight?
– real talk: what’s your favourite dinosaur? (you have one. don’t lie)
– you’re in charge of building an amusement park where – like ya boi john hammond – you’ve spared no expense. what’s the theme?
