Update: my daughter’s phone is dead. Doesn’t boot, doesn’t charge, etc. Now she has to cope without a phone for a while.
@matigo Thanks for the tip. I distract myself by listening to Porcupine Tree for now. ?
@matigo Yep. Especially when it comes to historical events I can spend hours and hours there.
Went to the rabbit hole again. I am currently reading about the Nedelin catastrophe [en.wikipedia.org] on Wikipedia. How did I get there? I listened to Rush and their song Countdown was playing. I wanted to know from where those space flight parts in the song were from, so I went digging. They were from the STS-1 mission, flown by the Space Shuttle Columbia. That lead to reading about the re-entry disaster of the shuttle, which in turn lead to the list of space-related disasters. From that list I wanted to know more about this one specific incident.
@matigo They are. Today was pretty expensive already1 and now this. Luckily she has 2 spare pairs of glasses.
Had to pay the first installment of the car, the annual tax for the car, and an insurance installment for the aforementioned car.
@matigo The phone has been in rice for a while but the glasses were not found. Maybe I will bike there tonight to check if someone has found them after she left the beach.
Appendum 2: she lost her brand new glasses too when the phone took the dive. ?♂
@larand Yup. I know a big part of the alphabet already so it shouldn’t be that big task to learn them all. But I would just need to find the time to take a proper look.
