I think the first step is to be wealthy and have no kids. That way you have tons of free resources, and tons of free time, and enough free space. I know plenty of people with enough friends to fill a little LAN like this. And setting one up

That's what I was thinking! I was sure my parent meant GoT. But there can't be many metrics at all where GoT beats out HP for the title of "biggest fantasy series of our time".

The Sleep With Me Podcast is very good. It helped my wife when she had a period of insomnia. He has a number of tricks he uses from a monoto delivery, to meandering stories where the narrative constantly interrupts itself with. So you can’t
