  I recently taught my 11-year-old nephew “how planes fly.” A bit oversimplified, of course, but words like camber and lift and circulation were tossed around along with Bernoulli’s principle.

  The song that the sailors sang in the original B&W is stuck in my head to this day. “Ohhhh, we’ve got this notion that we’d quite like to sail the ocean…”

  I dropped my Netflix subscription and just spend hours a day on OnlyHonk. Don’t judge!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ironing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t usually wear dress shirts to work except for big presentations, but how on earth does it only take you two minutes? Are you only counting active time ironing? Or ironing 10 shirts in one session and giving the per-shirt average?

  Start to finish, from getting out the iron, plugging in to start up, setting up my ironing board and laying out a shirt, waiting to heat up, ironing the shirt plus flipping it around and ironing again, then putting everything away after the iron cools down, it’s usually like 15-20 minutes for me. Maybe you can do something else when the iron is heating up, but it still seems like at least 10-15 minutes. Still a short enough period to not be a huge hassle once a week, but way too much to do every morning.
