We usually do:

something to wear
something they need
something to read
something they want
something to eat

That said, we also try to make note of what someone wants when they mention it.

My mom is fairly simple, she either wants time with the family and grandkids or pictures. We usually do a yearly photo album or calendar, she loves those.

Colorado, same. I voted 3 weeks ago.

That is so cool!

Heart attacks go up as well.

Honestly they’re excellent. I ran across A Taste of Honey while listening to the Apple Music Cocktail Party playlist.

Right. Good salespeople listen to customers, not try to sell them something they a) don’t need or b) won’t work as advertised.

They were on the path of self driving cars till Musk pulled the plug on the LiDAR and opted for cameras (cost less). He is directly responsible for why autopilot isn’t so auto.

They still made them too. 130V bulbs / garage bulbs / heavy duty bulbs all lasted far longer on 120V because the filament was thicker. They basically never went out.

Oh hell no. You don’t remember it coming out and everyone complaining about how convoluted it was. Pepperidge farm remembers.

Hate to break it to you Indonesia but you have zero clout in this relationship. I don’t think Google nor Apple care.

Exercise. If you aren’t physically tired you’ll have a hard time falling asleep. Most people with physical jobs have no problem sleeping.

So Lada quality. Got it.

Fun fact: heat pumps are more than 100% efficient. In heaters, 100% is trash.

GaN is newer technology and more expensive to manufacture. It can power laptops like anything else just in a much smaller package. I have a 65W GaN charger that charges my work laptop while on the go just as quickly as the official brick I leave in the office. You just need to pair it with a USB-PD rated cable that will handle the wattage your laptop requires. In my case, I ended up getting a 240W USB-C JSAUX cable. It’s stiff but does the job.

I’ve been fired before. It honestly isn’t that bad unless you have absolutely shit financial practices.

In many industries hiring for attitude over aptitude is the key to true success. Just wished that was what most did.

@[email protected] does an amazing job posting interesting things in the historical communities. The above is my favorite so far.

And the Pacific Northwest Trail Association website (a few members found him). https://www.pnt.org/what-heroes-look-like/

Great advice.

And in the walking vein, good shoes are essential. If you can’t afford new shoes then good insoles are the next best thing and almost as good. Any aftermarket insoles are better than what comes with any shoe (and I mean any, that’s the thing they all cheap out on). You can buy what fits your foot (flat, medium, high arch) and they make walking painless.

A carefully worded statement from Iran’s military Saturday night appeared to offer some wiggle room for the Islamic Republic to back away from further escalation. It suggested that a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon was more important than any retaliation against Israel.

I would never have thought that the Iranian gov’t would be the good guys in this scenario.
