📈 Two very nerdy Google Sheets things from this episode:
1. How I know that my kid is the same age as his Grandmother on Christmas in 1945.

2. How to put an HTML table in Google Sheets.

"Some Robert Shaw-looking motherfuckers."
@hotdogsladies I heard him interviewed on npr Fresh Air recently, some of it was about his experience growing up in the wake of WWII. https://www.npr.org/2023/10/25/1208303973/werner-herzog-memoir-every-man-for-himself-and-god-against-all

"Celebrity Heights”

Tommy Tune is very tall.
@hotdogsladies You know who else is surprisingly tall? Mr. Dev Patel. 6’ 2” if you can believe it. That’s close to The Debicki Line.

@Sauce_ Are you fucking KIDDING me?!

Oh, that is so going into the sheet.

@hotdogsladies Looked it up last night and was gobsmacked. That handsome, talented, AND tall? Some people have all the luck.

@hotdogsladies Veen should be included on every celebrity list.

It is known.

If you don't find stuff like this fascinating, you are not hooked up right.

@hotdogsladies I am the same age that my father was when I was born.

He was married, had a house, and a newborn…but I have a standing desk and an LG C2 so I’d say it’s pretty even.

@noahsegal American successes have almost all been anomalous, brief, and just RIDDLED with troubling asterisks.
@hotdogsladies I’m constantly comparing my current age to my Parents at this age and thinking of how their health and fate was treating them.
@hotdogsladies Wait but why not Chrome?
