  1. Impressive. That was a finale. I wish that's how I felt when I left the final movie last year.

    Question - I've seen all the movies (minus Solo) and been invested in the Mandalorian. With all of the upcoming movies/shows on the horizon, are Clone Wars, Rebels, Resistance worth digging into? If so, do you have a suggestion on importance or priority? I've never seen a lick of those or read any of the comics or books. Curious to see what you guys think.

  2. Kinda pumped - just completed 8,577 meters (random number - standby...) on my rower to have completed 200,000 meters since Thanksgiving in the Concept Holiday Challenge.  A little bit of a physical carrot to keep me motivated/honest during this time of hibernation.  The 2 programmed goals are 100,000m and 200,000m - my goal was always to hit 250K.  The challenge ends on Xmas Eve - if I get ambitious enough, I'd love to move the first number again as well.  💪

    15 Incredibly Cool Facts About Snow | Mental Floss

    5. SNOW IS TRANSLUCENT, NOT WHITE.

    Snow, like the ice particles it’s made up of, is actually colorless. It’s translucent, which means that light does not pass through it easily (like it would transparent glass), but is rather reflected. It’s the light reflected off a snowflake’s faceted surface that creates its white appearance.

    But why white? The reason we see objects as colors is because some wavelengths of light are absorbed while others are reflected (remember, light is a spectrum of colors). The object takes on whatever color light is reflected. For example, the sky is blue because the blue wavelengths are reflected while the other colors are absorbed. Since snow is made up of so many tiny surfaces, the light that hits it is scattered in many directions and will actually bounce around from one surface to the next as it’s reflected. This means no wavelength is absorbed or reflected with any consistency, so the white light bounces back as the color white.

     

  4. I started this sipping a barrel aged which always has me fiending for the sweets.

    Chewy dark chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and brownies are my jam. 

    I have this elaborate 'healthy' dessert meal I slam several nights a week. Hot oatmeal, chocolate and vanilla protein powder, square of dark chocolate, peanut or almond butter, and frozen berries or a banana. 🔥

  5. I've clamored to have a Concept2 for years, and I finally made the purchase late summer realizing the gym was not going to be an option any time soon.

    I've had it since September and am absolutely loving it. The resistance can be what you want on it, and it has a great daily workout suggestion you can have sent to you daily and is compatible with a couple of apps (ErgData, Krew) out there.

    I'm doing a holiday challenge that began on Thanksgiving and ends on Xmas Eve to row 200K, where Concept will donate so much for to your charity of choice for the meters accomplished. Great carrot to have during a tough time of year.
