Technically the truth, but using a metal spatula will not have much impact.

There’s no [edit: manufactured, not easily replaced] coating on cast iron (unless enameled)

I remember when toilet cameras were illegal and only on porn sites.

Guess everything changes when there’s money to be made.

Yep, exactly. The distinction among:

• “I’m Neil”
• “Call me Neil”
• “My name is Neil”

For most cases they are equivalent.

Or “Hi, call me Neil” or “You - you get to call me Neil”.

This, although I wish my town still had a local bakery and a hardware store.

Grocery store, brewery, meadery, winery, restaurants, cafes, game stores (video- and board-), book stores… any time I can I’ll shop the small store.

The biggest thing I’ve learned though is that some stores are shitty places or run by shitty people even if they are small.

I think it’s to make it less ambiguous.

In English you just use the same word and figure it out from context. Someone else gave some other Spanish examples but I like “right” (direction) = “la derecha” vs “right” (human rights) = “los derechos”.

Edit: CA vs US explains the displayed price difference.

Ah a USB card. Yeah those were/are a thing.

What is a “USB deck”?

Probably because they’re dead simple.

It’s not even about preference but about versatility and adaptability.

You don’t have to be prefer to use them, but being able to deal with the unexpected and figure out the unfamiliar is generally a sign of intelligence.

They said “business lunch” which implies martinis already.

I mean that’s exactly how cars were for the first ~50 years they existed.

If you are not familiar with the concept of sleep and/or waking up you may want to do the same.

They’re talking about sleep.

Hey now, they didn’t say anything about gems. Just the cost of the jewelry.

That’s not what decimalization means. We’re already on the decimal system, it’s not possible to decimalize again.

You’re thinking of revaluation

The ability to play almost 100% of my games on my preferred OS is definitely something.
