Exactly! The speaker sounds like crap, but it may need a thorough cleaning when I get back home.
The Alba Y823-5000 is a neat little digital watch I picked up at a flea market in Osaka Japan for about $10. Beside the usually quartz watch offerings, this one had a button that will read the current time to you in Japanese with a button push.
It's pretty interesting to see how people give and interpret ratings in the US vs. Asia for example. In the US it seems like less than a mid-four is a gamble, in Japan you get some great restaurants hanging around at 3.0+. The reviews will say like "Everything was perfect great food, 3 stars".
Iceland is quite beautiful, I didn't camp but I recall the park areas being quite fierce about not venturing off of walking paths to protect sensitive things like moss that take forever to grow. That may be a reason why they don't allow dispersed camping. I'd say still go, it was beautiful in the winter and I didn't find it too crowded or unbearably cold.
Pretty sure the article is satire. Here's something similar from Snopes. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cassidy-boon-drowning/
From the original article: "I could have died peacefully, but now I am living a nightmare; I was sexually assaulted in broad daylight by the only person who was sober at the party; what are the chances?.”
If you like to talk to tomatoes...
I was new to a school and decided to skip class with a bunch of classmates I barely knew. One guy goes to the bathroom and comes back and stands right behind me. I look up and he is completely naked except for a sock on his dick hovering right above my head.
We've been great friends for close to 18 years and I just got to meet his two kids.
Well it had a lock icon. You can't just make those up!
One of my favorite series to read and watch growing up. Driver's high is my go to karaoke jam!
Took a visit to the Killing Fields in Phnom Penh, it was horrific.
Peak cosplay right there.
This reminds me a lot of the WebTV box my parents got us in lieu of an actual PC. The specs are laughable now and all I ever remember was how painfully slow it was to load up the simplest of websites. Still, it was pretty exciting to have back then.
This one is cheating a bit. This abandoned water park in Thuy Thien Lake has fallen into disuse but had found its second life as a tourist attraction. While the park project has been abandoned, on any given day you’ll find a number of tourists wandering around taking pictures. The best part is riding a motorbike down the decaying sidewalks between former attractions. The former aquarium inside of the dragon body held three crocodiles that were only recently removed from the premises.

Time to put a team together to "rationalize" our tools then rinse and repeat.
An interesting road in the Nan Province of Thailand. You can see why the road got its name.
A shot of an overgrown temple entry gate in Angkor Archaeological park. I suck at taking photos, so this is a rare one I'm quite happy with. Side note, that tree was damaged and actually cut down right over where the frame ends, haha. So slightly less magical, but still cool!
I didn't know about Alba before but after doing some reading I'm really liking their vintage watch lines. I wish I had paid more attention to the buckets of "as-is" watches in the markets.
