Going to watch The Disaster Artist tonight. It should be a funny story, Mark.

History documentaries are normally always on point. Which have you recently watched?

Of the documentaries or the tiny homes? Documentary-wise, I found a -- of all places -- a YT channel called Absolute HIstory which, for the production values, I wouldn't have thought was just a YT channel since most "history" on YT involves low-rent productions with barely scripted narration and a lot of unsourced sketchy claims (as opposed to AH which has, among other things, included a series of interviews with experts trying to authenticate a photo). I got into the channel because it had a mini-series where some of its presenters were living and working at the site of a historical experiment where a group had been building a castle using medieval technology and methods, and my interest spiraled out from there.

As for tiny homes, I could watch three dozen and recall relatively few pertinent facts, excluding things pertaining to storage because that's often quite clever. Most of the actual homes aren't terribly memorable, with a handful of exceptions like the guy who built a LotR-style home in the back of a truck where you can't tell that it's a tiny home at all except when the truck's rear door is pulled up to reveal an ornate wooden exterior with a door. That was some fucking cool shit.

My wife used to love those tiny home shows. When we moved to WA she wanted to get one. She was a total princess though and once threw a fit over sprinklers in the roof of an apartment we rented in Vancouver WA. I convinced her that a tiny home just wouldn't work for her lol.

Now that it's just me though, it could work, and they even have them for sale cheap near me, but it doesn't come with land (you need to buy that and they ship it to you). Also, in general, mobile homes are not much more expensive, or slightly cheaper, and have far more space (and I love the sound of rain on the roof of a mobile home).

That's prob what I'm gonna go for.

Anyway those shows are awesome, some of those homes were so cool. Kinda almost wanna get one made and go live in the forest somewhere with power and internet available.

tbh, the majority of tiny homes are just hipper, classier mobile homes. The only major distinction is some layout choices, where afaik mobile homes don't have things like sleeping lofts and I doubt very many have the option of composting toilets (which, while I can see the practicality, I can't imagine living with)

Kinda lol'd when they kept trying to blame him for what unaffiliated chapters were doing. One of the dudes interviewing him seemed kinda unhinged, where he'd randomly burst in shouting and screaming, like he wanted to look crazier than the fucking grand wizard or imperial dragon or whatever.
