for household items, i think the ceramic knife hits the spot.

i love to learn the theremin. but i like drums as well. i find it challenging keeping timings on each hand and foot.

cost is an easy reason/ barrier. but there’s others like membership and other exclusivity options being offered out there.

for me, it generally boils down to “show me the work, then i decide”.

some works are more influenced by politics like art pieces and written works. some, like architecture, plumbing and network stacks, much less so.

in this case, even if you don’t know code but can be a good appraiser of political taint then you can decide on your own what to endorse or not.

i3. I know how to confidently issue commands to search and then confidently type it in my computer.

yup, the ‘i’ means imaginary.

the happiness is real. how you got happy may not be real and sometimes, may not matter in the long run.

the usual format is serious and fast songs then slowly moves to somewhat serious ballads and drunken slurred lyrics.

all in good time.

channel skipping / surfing is hard with the tv buttons as well!

niiice! stay awesome good sir!

when i see it in the movies, i feel like having the attendants is a different experience altogether – like a drive-thru type gas station.

not me but i would imagine people who lived in a gas-attendant place would wonder where the helpers are if they visited a place where there’s no gas attendant.

for my own experience, lost the tv remote, tv is now unusable.

kevin hart would be entertaining.

In fact, one study in the Journal of Affective Disorders found blue lighting reduced suicide attempts by 84%. It’s believed blue registers as a calming color, associated with the sky and sea, which may be soothing to people in distress, according to Psychology Today.”

I guess people who keep using blue-light filter glasses at end of work will miss this.

ymmv, but for me, the cheat code is to get out of the app asap and meet in person once the app let’s you find someone.

imo, it is best for their business to keep a person in for the engagement.

best of luck on your search!

Wikipedia says it is like Chóngqìng. “Chong” with long o sound, then tsin.

yeah, french (and borrowed words) is usually my hard-mode when it comes to pronunciations. this one is special because it’s dessert (or so I think).

Chongqing like “Chongqing Chicken”. not pronounced “chonking”.

“Añejo”, not pronounced “ah-neh-joe”

“Hors d’oeuvre”. funnily not pronounced “horse divorce”.
