Have any of your hobbies involved real danger?

The Horse @TheHorse (217891) • Walnut Creek, California 14 Feb 18

As I was reading stories about the climber who died on Oregon's Mt. Hood this week, my first thought was "No way I would do anything that dangerous." I have done non-technical mountain climbing in Glacier Park Montana, but I can...

Amber Barela It's so sad that something that you love can eventually end your life. I don't have any dangerous hobbies anymore. I use to swim all the time and that could have killed me I guess.

Amber Barela No I dont, our newspaper for our town anymore is 6 pages that includes the game/comic page. It's not worth the money when everything ends up on Facebook or get it online for free.

Did anybody actually watch the Super Bowl yesterday?

The Horse @TheHorse (217891) • Walnut Creek, California 5 Feb 18

To me, the Super Bowl represents everything that's vulgar about America. But it's an important game if you're an American football fan. I went hiking yesterday on a trail I hadn't been on before (got to pet some horses) and then...

Amber Barela I did but not because I'm a fan or even enjoy football, ended up going to my father in laws house so he could spend time with our daughter. He happened to just turn it one for noise to find out it was the superbowl.

Did you know that Alabama uses the "Biblical value" of Pi (3.0), rather than the mathematically correct value of 3.141592654, thanks to an Alabama State Legislature vote in 1998?

The Horse @TheHorse (217891) • Walnut Creek, California 1 Feb 18

I was shocked and dismayed to learn that for Alabama students, the value of Pi is 3.0, rather than the correct value of 3.141592654 (the correct value actually goes on forever). This means that Alabama high school and college...

Amber Barela I hate when I can't get into a book. Most of the time I just set it down and never pick it up. And then if I find a good book I can't put it down and end up reading it to fast.

Wish my TV wasn’t smart

Shadi @Madshadi (8840) • Brussels, Belgium 2 Feb 18

Maybe this is just the case with certain brands but I am not at all in favour of smart TV’s anymore. I wish I bought a regular LED tv that doesn’t crash, or lag. Or that doesn’t initiate long updates when you are in a mood for...

Amber Barela I think that's so cool that you decided to make him a decent meal. I had a burger and a pickle for lunch, we also get caught in the eating out to much, this time we grilled our burgers ourselves. It's a step in the right direction anyways.
