If you need to measure something high up and you don't have a tape long enough, you can make one out of string and a weight on the end. Mark the string and measure it in segments on the ground.
Slice & Dice is a neat little game that you can play on mobile or desktop. Five heroes, a six-sided die for each of them to see what abilities they can use, a small number of rerolls per turn, and clever internal synergies with abilities. I have over eighty hours played.
On the timescale of our species, we're still physiologically and psychologically the same cavemen and hunter-gatherers that we were fifty or a hundred thousand years ago. If the complexities of a modern, interconnected, noisy, perpetually demanding world start to get you down, don't feel bad. You're a cave dweller wearing shoes. If it seems like people get too caught up in the opinions of those around them, it only seems that way because we now live in a society where you don't have to be liked in order to survive. We only conquered food scarcity conceptually within the last century.
My favorite headstone epitaph reads, "First I wasn't. Then I was. Now I'm not."
The first labor strike in recorded history was in the reign of Ramesses the Third. The workers building a temple weren't paid on time, so they quit working until they got paid.
Slay the Spire is a pretty neat class-based deckbuilder. I have...240 hours on that game.
