The human brain is an absolutely fantastic computer, throwing a ball is proof of that.

You think you can't to advanced calculus or trigonometry? You think your little short bus brain would crap out 15 minutes into a physics 101 class?

Try throwing a ball at a moving target. Whether you hit it or got even close, you just did some graduate exam level calculations in less than a second. Your brain took into account the speed of the object, it's relative distance to you, it's direction of travel, the speed of the ball in the air, the arc of travel of the ball from the effect of gravity, and combined those to estimate the place the target will be when the ball is also occupying that 3D space. Not only that, but your brain also did the math on which way to move your arm to create the leverage and force to achieve the specific speed and arc of the ball you were estimating during the throw. All of that in a matter of seconds or less and you didn't even realize you did it.

Be proud of yourself for even being able to attempt this. Your mind is an incredible thing.

My first time coping baseboard to an uneven floor, also decided to use a second layer of baseboard rather than a normal rounded shoe molding. I'm rather proud of how it came out.

Seeing two different prices here, why do drastic?

Two versions of the Void V2, the $130 on sale for $90 and another for $50. I see the less expensive one says non-essential accessories not included, but what does that mean? Is it just the charger? If so that doesn't mean much, a USB C charger is easy to come by. Does anyone know what else would not be included?

Finished rebuilding my new house recently and am putting furniture out. Now at night every room feels like a faded memory of a sleepover at a friend's house.

Felt this picture best encapsulates the vibe, but it happens in lots of places more like the stairwell and the master bedroom. It's kind a lump in my throat and a longing for some forgotten summer night that I just can't put my finger on. Feel like there should be a bag of Guacamole-flavored Doritos and pizza bagels on the table.
