My apartment “upgraded” us to digital locks and now we have to use an app to unlock our door. I was so pissed the entire time they were installing them. I don’t like the idea that the locks could run out of battery and keep us out, and I feel much more insecure in my apt. It also feels like our comings and goings can be spied on now. I hate this future.

I had metal straws but I switched to glass because I can see if they’re clean easily and they feel better imo.

As someone who watches a fairly wide variety of tv shows, “next episode” has been the most useful app on my phone for me. It helps so much for knowing what to subscribe to and when. Only sub when my favorite shows come out and catch up on the rest then. I’ve also discovered some new shows through their upcoming and trending lists (which is more of just a bonus and not why I got the app to begin with). It’s probably the only app I would give my full recommendation for anyway.

When I was younger and much more active, I was a shower every day person. Now that I’m older, I find every other day or three to be good for my skin. I’ve always had a very ruddy complexion, but I’ve figured out that on days I don’t shower, my skin looks its best. So I try to go as long as I can before my armpits start smelling. When I first started skipping days, my scalp would get oily quick, but now my second day hair is pretty nice too (probably also thanks to going with a silicon free conditioner). Basically I just try to shower when I smell or have been sweaty.

I started making my own boba and I got a set of big glass boba straws.

The moon is an ancient alien graveyard. We’ve been cursed since the landing. Moon’s haunted.

Oh I’m silly. It’s “next episode” not episodes! Sorry, I’ll have to edit my comment.

I’ve been playing a lot of starfield and to me it’s fallout in space with some improvements (although still some classic fallout jank). Like there’s grappling which is great, but when you put stuff on shelves you’ll come back to them being half in the ground. I’ve got no complaints (aside from always wishing I could coop with my partner) because that’s what I was ready for. Honestly the least buggy Bethesda game I’ve played so far. I had one quest that I struggled with because of NPC pathing, but nothing game breaking so far. It’s not No Man’s Sky planet exploration. It’s not a space sim. It’s a dialogue heavy loot n shoot.

I have seen some Australian and British shows listed, but I can’t tell you if they have a lot of them (I kind of doubt it). I only know that it’s very on top of US shows at least.

We have several of their items. I’d recommend all of the ones I’ve tried. Strip below the couch for mood lighting. Bulbs all over (a few we’ve had for about a decade and still going strong). Some bar lights behind the tv lighting. And my partner uses one of the stand alone spotlight ones (I don’t remember the name). I’d rebuy all of the stuff we’ve gotten from them. Our apartment has terrible electrical and we’ve had almost all our bulbs blow that came with it. After being fed up with having to have maintenance visit so often because the ceilings are higher than we can reach, we just use the hue.

I just wish the app was better. They could simplify it a lot. In particular I find it’s kind of a pain to set scenes.
