I moved to quay.io years ago and have never looked back.

These both sound like valid lifestyles assuming everyone involved is informed and consenting, neither are worse, because neither are bad.

I got an oral b toothbrush (primary selling point for me, was the pressure sensor that alerts you if you're pressing too hard against your teeth, I think I paid around €150 for it back then), well over 8 years ago, and it's still going strong. The battery still easily holds a week's charge too, which is great for holidays

But the idea of an indicator is to indicate that you will soon turn the steering wheel, not that you've already started to turn it.

It's hilarious to me, that "safety first" is written second

I've found that some games can still play after you've cut them off from the internet (in app settings from the phones general settings) but will no longer be able to display ads (and I assume microtransactions also won't work then). Which might make some of the options you've currently ruled out work for you?

We can easily stop having children then

I noticed how many of the verbs in English can mean different things depending on what word comes next, e.g.

  • Put
  • Put down
  • Put up
  • Put upon
  • Put on (wear)

English has so many words that mean the same thing, it's amazing, astonishing, bewildering and flabbergasting, there was a thief, mugger, robber, bandit... Who stole, robbed, nicked, thieved from me... I don't know how anyone ever learns all the English words for stuff, I honestly don't know how I have.

It also made me reflect on how languages are just noises we've all agreed to make at each other. The rules try to match the language and fail, not the other way around.

Recently I was also thinking about how interesting it is that some words we use are SO OLD, and we just... use them like it's no big deal, but if we we're transported back thousands of years, people were still calling vanilla something very similar to vanilla and arteries something very similar to arteries, and that is super cool to me.

It took me a while but "cocktails" for anyone else out there like me
