Technically I’m an archaeologist, I guess.

    I’m not arguing against your lovely sentiment, because people should respect the significance of human remains and grave goods much more than they do, and some measure of dignity is better than none.

    But if The Art Institute of Chicago, which “acquired” Paankhenamun in 1910, really cared about this dead man being respected, they could make efforts to repatriate his remains to the place he lived and where his loved ones chose to inter him.




  • My mom got me this “protection” charm from a woo-ass lady at a farmer’s market once. It was cool looking, so I wore it on a tight necklace that couldn’t slip over my head, and I never took it off.

    A couple years later, I was in a nasty rollover car accident that could easily have killed me. I walked away only mildly banged up. I realized later that day that the necklace was gone. I scoured the car and even went to the crash site looking for it. Never saw the thing again.


  • I do touchless, and I don’t bother with anything beyond the basic wash option. That tricolor foam stuff looks fun while you’re in there, but idk how much good it actually does.

    I don’t care about my car looking shiny and clean, but I’ve driven hail cars exclusively for the last 15ish years. I try keeping them rinsed off at all times to avoid anything gnarly festering in paint cracks or whatever. Every third or fourth fill-up, I’ll run the car through the cheap $8-10 touchless wash, even (especially) during Minnesota winters.

    I think hand-washing is the only way to go if we want our cars clean looking, but who am I trying to impress, you know?
