Took a stab at synchronizing the various videos out there in a timeline-sort of fashion.

Video is 5x 1080-videos wide.

Looking for the name of an audiobook (and i suppose book!) I listened to probably 12+ years ago.

It was a history of well... Everything. The first chapter takes you from the big bang through planet formation and i think first life. I remember the chapter talking about "going back further.. Going back further" or "jumping further forward, jumping further forward".

It talked about history of the west yes, but included developments over eras in other regions of the world.

I remember it being narrated by a man, and quite well.

I thought it might "History of the World" bu J.M. Roberts, or "a short history of nearly everything" by Bill Bryson, but samples of neither of them didn't seem familiar.

Shooting in the dark, but thank you!

This is not financial advice, I am not an advisor.

US folks, if you're cutting back your purchases, consider you are voting with your dollar wherever you contribute your retirement (401K, IRA, HSA, etc) contributions as well. Most places have few offerings, but it's worth looking if there are foreign investment offerings at your provider. At least for me there was a foreign index fund.

Continuing to invest in the US stock market will continue to show some amount of faith in its performance. Invest your money elsewhere if you can.

Hopefully this is allowed... I've seen lots of folks saying to drop paying for subscriptions, buy local (instead of big corporations), and to buy European if possible (or at least non-US). I think this fits that bill, but delete this if not.

Sew contentment by obeying the rules, obviously

Like seriously, what can't you do with them?

you can ..

• Whittle your friends down in a game of marbles.
• Have a nice treat and suck on the marbles.
• You can even give them to your enemies as snacks, and watch them bite glass.

and ...

• Ship them in a box.
• Insert them into... places.
• Launch them as projectiles.
• Entertain guests.
• New and clever ways to use marbles.
• Cleverly fill a sock with them to use as a weapon.
• Everybody loves marbles.

also...

• Use them as impromptu slippery caltrops.
• Surely youve been convinced candy coated marbles are the best ?

more on me ...

• Recently i won a set of beautiful marbles.
• Even though there's only two.
• Seen many, but these ones are a beautiful cyan hue.
• I hope to win more marbles.
• So i can candy coat them.
• To add to my wonderful collection !

Genuinely curious if mods can circumvent the rules, or if they will be silenced for their thought crimes. Lemme see a violation post!
