    That sucks. I'm excited about a lot of things. I can't imagine COVID really changed that for other people - though I suspect you're right that it did.

    They're still using the oven temperature example further down, unfortunately.

    Loud breathing is one of my biggest concerns when wearing noise-cancelling headphones around others. Partly because I dislike hearing it from others and don't want to subject them …

    BQ = Boston Qualifying, I think. I.e. running better than the standard for men/women in the Boston Marathon

    The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro came out last year. The 7a came out this year, which is the same pattern they've used for the past few generations. As far as the yearly cadence, well, that's…

    I think the fake white bookshelf wallpaper has a certain aesthetic about it. I would like it in an AirBnB type of place, but definitely not in my own house. I would also want it to…

    Is it that heavy because it petrified? I wonder how much it would've weighed as just bone.
