I actually kind of proud of how shitty my mid-70s vinyl setup sounds. You'd think you'd have to work to achieve this level of buzz and hiss - not to mention how I don't know how to set the anti-skate! - but it turns out I'm a natural.

Think those New Year's resolutions are finally working! I made the bed, showered and ate, and all before *checks watch* son of a bitch...

No one told me home ownership was just living in terror of and investigating dripping noises 24/7.
I can't figure out how ancient Roman names worked on a personal level. Within the household, would they have used the praenomen to talk about/to each other? I don't think most of the women even had a praenomen, though! 1/3

No one called Julius Caesar "Gaius," probably, but what about when he was a little boy? What's your name around the house, the name your friends use when you're all tipsy and convivial and also you're a bunch of nobodies? 2/3
