Love that you put a Freestyle strap on a smart watch.

A decent pen and/or pencil. I have several nice fountain pens that I use for journaling, but I use my Zebra F-301 ballpoint daily for general notes/etc. -- ~$10 for a 4 pack on Amazon. If you prefer a pencil, you can pick up a Pentel Sharp Kerry for under $20 on Amazon.

Can't take the risk of getting in the middle of something, losing track of time, and being late to/missing the appointment.

To refuel your car, first flip down the license plate.

When he was a little boy, Sam Vimes had thought that the very rich ate off gold plates and lived in marble houses.

He’d learned something new: the very very rich could afford to be poor. Sybil Ramkin lived in the kind of poverty that was only available to the very rich, a poverty approached from the other side. Women who were merely well-off saved up and bought dresses made of silk edged with lace and pearls, but Lady Ramkin was so rich she could afford to stomp around the place in rubber boots and a tweed skirt that had belonged to her mother. She was so rich she could afford to live on biscuits and cheese sandwiches. She was so rich she lived in three rooms in a thirty-four-roomed mansion; the rest of them were full of very expensive and very old furniture, covered in dust sheets.

Came here for this. The whole field is ~1 1/3 acres, so if you think of the whole field as 4, 1/3 acre sections, an acre is ~ 3/4 of a football field.

Buying a bubble wrap de-bubbler just seemed like a good idea...at 2am, while drunk scrolling on Amazon.

I think one thing to keep in mind is how absolutely MASSIVE the US is -- even the smallest state in the US is larger than a handful of European countries.

It's very common for people to live a 30+ minute drive from cities and/or their workplace, and in these more rural areas, it can be unsustainable to open small shops, because of reduced traffic...and people are shopping at the "super centers" in the city.

Depending on how strict you are on dates, the first one that jumps to mind is "Dallas". It ran from '78-'91, so in my mind, it is a show that very much was 80s.

Honorable mention to "Doogie Howser, M.D."; '89-93.

I'm thinking Elon doing this crazy rename is a throwback
