My doctor’s note says “Major depressive disorder, recurrent moderate” & my employer of 25 years says I need to take 90 days off to get well.

Shaved.
Went for a walk.

I don’t have any idea what’s going on in Ukraine now since all the experts I was following online for Ukraine info turned out to actually be pretty pro-genocide when it comes to other wars.

What % of mass shooters in the US know what the AR in AR-15 stands for? 95%? 100%?

I remember in the 80’s on “What Will They Think of Next?”, they were explaining the concept of noise cancellation & how we could expect to see it in the future.

I finally got to watch Everything Everywhere All At Once - but Japanese Netflix only has Japanese subtitles. Can someone explain what I just watched? Just the parts in Chinese.
