Soggy Link ParentMillions of acres, hard to tell exactly from a cursory search but there's like 33 million acres of forest in California and a decent chunk of it is used for logging.Millions of acres, hard to tell exactly from a cursory search but there's like 33 million acres of forest in California and a decent chunk of it is used for logging.

Soggy Link ParentCalifornia produces ~56 million board-feet of cedar per year and thats less than 5% of their timber industry. A few blocks for cable car brakes in one city is nothing.California produces ~56 million board-feet of cedar per year and thats less than 5% of their timber industry.

Nevermind that "if I were green I would die" sounds nothing like what they say. Or that the song is officially "Blue (Da Ba Dee)". This was mostly before you could just look stuff up on a whim.

His last couple are different. You're Not Alone is a slower collection of loud ballads and self-help interludes for a different flavor of Andrew's relentless positivity, while God is Partying changes gears for a much heavier sound reminiscent of Devin Townsend.
There's a piano album in there, 55 Cadillac, that's hard to compare to any of his other work.

Soggy Link ParentSuper Meat Boy is pretty close, yeah, and I highly recommend it. Celeste has a few layers of optional challenge too, in case you really get into it and want to learn crazy movement techniques.Super Meat Boy is pretty close, yeah, and I highly recommend it.

Soggy Link ParentAlas, I usually find parallel play to be highly distracting. I've got a touch of misophonia and can't consistently tune out background noise.Alas, I usually find parallel play to be highly distracting. I've got a touch of misophonia and can't consistently tune out background noise.

Soggy Link ParentI'm the same. Even in a small group of friends I've known half my life, I have to take quiet breaks alone to manage my energy.I'm the same. Even in a small group of friends I've known half my life, I have to take quiet breaks alone to manage my energy.

Got an achievement last night for Secret Treasure #5... I have solid guesses for where 1 and 2 are but boy howdy there seems to be a lot of meat on this bone I haven't even caught a whiff of. I don't want to get derailed too much so this is probably going to be a multiple-playthrough experience for me.

Soggy Link ParentAtmospheric blocking is also why vitamin d deficiency is more of a problem at higher latitudes.

I'm slowly carving away at the front lawn. I recently cut out a 10' circle and filled it with wildflowers, it got lots of compliments from passers-by. The garden beds grow ever wider and I'm planning to turn another section into a pond.
The next door neighbor, unfortunately, is the type to walk his brick driveway with an herbicide sprayer. He doesn't appreciate the work.
