You feel fragile because it takes little pushes in the wrong direction to send you swinging or spiralling. But you are much, much stronger than you think or give yourself credit for.

What resource did I manage to finally get a decent renewable source of in Agrarian Skies 2, leaving me delighted as it opened up top tier Thermal Expansion?
 
( I had a feeling. Also, the answer to mine was Ender pearls ;) there seems to have been a custom Agricraft crop added)

I hope so.

Am I going to get through karate tonight without injuring myself or being sick?
 
(Turns out I did indeed have this! It all went well :D)

Yes? No? Maybe? I don't know...

Have you seen the Kirk Douglas movie "The Final Countdown"?
 
Maybe? I'd need to google it, I've seen a "The Final Countdown", where an aircraft carrier goes back in time to pearl harbor.

Is that the right one?

It is! That is exactly the right one :)

I think I need to see “The Philadelphia Experiment”, a 1984 film, as I think one of my oldest memories is of that. Can I find it to watch somewhere?
 
(It's a good movie)

Yes. I can all but guarantee it's *somewhere* online.

Where's the best place to find old movies?
 
Hmm. On old VHS tapes, recorded off the TV.

Why are memories such weird things? Sometimes lasting in some form for decades, other times fading fast?
 
The brain as weird.

How does the brain handle the motion blur that would happen when you flick your eyes to a new place?
 
It doesn’t process it as motion because it’s in your peripheral vision.

Why did I have so much fun baking last night?
 
(Nope, the brain *turns off vision*, flicks the eyes, then backtimes the new vision to when the vision was turned off. If there's continual motion it also back interpolates that, but if not, this is why if you flick your eyes to a clock with a second hand that ticks, the first second often looks longer, your brain literally is telling you it is)

Baking is fun

Why did I read half a book in under 2 hours?

(Oh really?? I didn't know that! IS that why you see movement after you stop moving? because your brain is still interpolating briefly? Cool!)

Because you like reading, and it was a good book!

What were you reading?
 
(Not sure, as far as I know this continual motion thing is only with eye flicks, but it might apply to more, it certainly isn't an area I'm an expert in)

Mistborn: The Final Empire

What's the best book you've read recently?
 
(Ooh ok, I’ve not heard of that!)

I haven’t read any books recently :(

What book am I eagerly waiting to come out?
 
(It’s called “Peace Talks”, and it will be the latest book in the Dresden Files series, by Jim
Butcher)

0.25 books per hour.

Do I two-finger type, touch type, or somewhere in between?
