Ah yes, thank you, it was Monday. I miss the time when all those episodes were free on Prime.

That X-Files episode (Drive) was apparently the first time Vince Gilligan worked with Bryan Cranston.

There’s a great song (with the same name) based on the book by Tunng too.

Reply to comment by monchota in TIL The largest diamond ever found was the Cullinan Diamond, which was discovered in South Africa in 1905. It weighed 3,106.75 carats (over 1.2 pounds) and was cut into nine separate stones, including the Great Star of Africa, which is the largest clear-cut diamond in the world at 530.2 carats. by mic3ttaa
Well, South Africa, 1905, there’s no way a black man would be getting the credit.

I’ve always thought it suspicious that it was found by a manager, not one of the poor guys doing the actual mining.

My 100 year old European home has issues with confusing breakers, but this is just silly.

Sorry. If it helps, I’m really making an effort to stop what I’m doing when my boys want to chat.

This also works the other way around. You only get a fairly short amount of time with your kids before they grow up and move on.

I’ve also found it helpful to type the surname into the email address bar. When it autocompletes you’re more likely to notice if the first name is wrong.
It is easy, if you’re in a hurry, to start typing the first name and send it to the wrong David etc.
