Well, I was feeling pleased with all the things I’ve done during quarantines and then this popped up:
Of what I gathered elsewhere, he was feeling bored during quarantines and since now he had free time, he worked on improving our knowledge on the potential creation of warp drives.
I need to watch the full lecture now … I must know more and even if someone doesn’t like the subject, they can use it as @Atorrante 's challenge theme

Today I made a cardboard boomerang. I don’t know if it will work, but tomorrow I’ll find out.
A less amusing activity for a lockdown is to change your bedsheets. Let’s hope there’s a new one.

“Ok then boomerang.
I hope you’ll be happy and live a happy life.
I hope you see great things and visit many beautiful places.
I hope you find someone who loves you as I did. I hope you’ll love him too. I hope it’s someone who cares for you. Someone to go back to at the end of the day.
We could have been great together. But this is no time for regrets.
Most probably a dog will just shit on you, so this could be your last kiss ever… no, I’m not crying…”
There was no comeback. I looked at him one last time. Then I left.

What is everyone’s favorite things to do in their free time? I like to play on my Nintendo switch, play tennis, and read sometimes. I will attempt to try everything that people say they like to do if I can, for example, I don’t have an Xbox so I couldn’t do that, or I can’t just say I am going to travel because that needs planning months ahead. I just thought it would be kind of cool to hear what others do in their free time, besides play go because like that is what the point of OGS is.
I’m surprised no-one linked this thread.

I’ve been watching a lot of Conan lately.
This is the “remotes” playlist, aka things that aren’t either interviews or sketches, ie. “outdoor exploits”: Conan Interviews "Late Night" Associate Producer Jordan Schlansky - "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" - YouTube
Lots of things to get interested in here:

Hello. I make...
The major series on this channel are Map Men and Unfinished London .
Having first seen the Tube Map printed on the back of a London A-Z in the 1970's I was hooked on the Tube, transport, railways and travels at an early age, and thus make travel and transport videos, in my home - the world's best city, London - as...
This channel is largely about the UK rail network.
My second channel, for videos I don't want to "fill up" my main channel with. If you like seeing my stuff, subscribe here.
Check out my main channel if you just want highlights and "gaming" videos at:

The channel with the lowest production value, this one is essentially a guy lecturing with Google Maps.
And then channels I’d classify as travelogue (apart from Tom Scott who is already very widely known):
Mainly Europe.
Mainly Russia and the rest of the former USSR.
Mainly Africa.

I’ve started working with clay lately and I made a Totoro that I’m kind of proud of. He looks like he’s sleeping but he’s dead.
