I don’t want a dumb phone. I want a circa 2014 smart phone that is not expected to replace my laptop and serve as a constant data stream for corporations. I want to be able to visit a website on my phone and not have it try to get me to download an app, be ads on 70% of the screen, or just be unreadable formatting. Let me call, text, do a basic online search, play a stupid flash game, and take my money. Stop being greedy and trying to make everything I do monetizable
The love language test in part because it was a great way to start a conversation about our romantic needs with my spouse.
It’s not it’s just a little effort in remembering the couple major details of people you see frequently instead of feeling exhausted from the anxiety of being stuck in a conversation.
Answer their question with questions. If they ask about your weekend all about their’s then followup on a detail. They will talk for a couple minutes then end with some version of “hey great chat but I need to get a couple things done”. If you want to remain approachable you need to give people the chance to talk but also don’t really need to share much of yourself. Keep tabs on the easy things(kids, spouse, etc) and you have a lot of variations of very basic questions for a short conversation. How’s kid liking school? Did you and spouse have a nice weekend? Then one or two follow up questions to them and you can end the conversation without the other person feeling like you blew them off.
In 20 years. We are working on the speed run.
It’s been running for about 20 years so there are a lot too go through. There are a few filler stories along the way which are good and bad but the main story is really well written and illustrated and pretty different than most stories I’ve read.
Girl Genius is one of my favorite. https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php
I really like the whole composition of In Waves. It really feels like it’s telling a story and all the songs flow so well into one another. I generally prefer albums that are whole and not just a collections of songs or singles. In Waves is probably one of my favorite albums for it’s cohesiveness.
And yeah black album is great but I think MoP is just bangers all the way through. If I want thrash metal I want Metallica and I don’t want to slow down haha.
Trivium - in waves
Lorna shore - the pain remains
Metallica - master of puppets
Sum 41 - does this look infected
Arch enemy - rise of the tyrant
Florence and the machine - MTV unplugged
Frank turner - positive songs for negative people
Highly suspect - mister asylum
Maybeshewill - not for want of trying
The mountain goats - the sunset tree
Same with me. The amount of graphs that are misleading at best that are portrayed in the news is infuriating.
Replacing some small to mid size appliances. Mine are generally 7-10 years old and some of the cooking ones are becoming unsafe to use due to wear. New air fryer to replace the one that smokes when it runs and the toaster oven that has two burnt out coils. Potentially a new dryer of the motor replacement is cost prohibitive.
If I can’t fix it and expect 3+more years of use it needs to be replaced in the next 6 months.
