Admitting you were wrong/made a mistake/can’t do something.
Related: changing your mind. The one thing that can still destroy any politician is the dreaded “flip-flop”. Yet the thing we most need them to do is to revise their position in the face of new information.
I think most of the problems in the world come down to some sort of bullshit posturing that (especially male) humans seem to be compelled to engage in.
Maybe Pac-Man. Wandering around a maze eating all day isn’t that different from my current life.
A return is what you file. The money you get back for overpayment is a refund.
Sorry, pet peeve of mine that comes up every tax season.
Spindrift ruined it for me.
I've made this cake a couple of times. It's quite good.
Not the question you asked, I know, but I have been buying my tea from uptontea.com since before they had a web site and you had to call in from a printed catalog. Loose leaf tea is economical and gives you a wide variety of choices. I’m drinking my go-to Kensington Breakfast Blend right now.
The last update broke zigbee for a month, so forgive me if I don’t jump on this bandwagon.
I suppose that's true. Rereading my comment, it's a bit over the top. If I pretend now I don't know anything and start at http://home-assistant.io, it's not that hard to scroll down, see the thing, and buy it. I don't know exactly how I got so off-track when I tried. Probably I knew "a little too much", as in the words "home assistant blue" in the back of my head, Googled for that and got distracted by "I need to understand why there are two boxes and one isn't for sale anymore, so exactly what is the difference is between them?".
Coming back to that naive journey, though, I could see how someone could end up buying Green with no wireless dongle or Yellow with no CM4 (especially since you can't get one).
I still think that for the limited size of this ecosystem, choosing a box shouldn't be confusing. I can now understand where it came from, though, once I realized that HA Yellow was designed around a Raspberry Pi board that became unobtainable, so they had to go with a different architecture.
Not at all. This is not a moral judgement about anyone else. Just answering the question.
I guess I've reached a point in my life where I can easily afford to buy something if I want it, especially in the price range of a video game or book. I used to do all that stuff, not to get back at the man, but because it was the only option that was accessible. Eventually the hassle factor of piracy kept going up while just paying for it became an accessible choice.
I am confident my parents did not do that.
I can’t pick a single favorite, they all have different uses. Cholula or Valentina go with a lot of things, but obviously and especially Mexican food. Frank’s Red Hot is pretty much only for making Buffalo sauce, but I also like it on mac & cheese, and on steak (this is a weird thing I got from my dad). My favorite chili crisp is Fly By Jing. It makes Chinese takeout worth eating. Calabrian chili paste goes great on sandwiches and in tomato sauces. I’m not big on sriracha, but keep a bottle of Underwood Ranches on hand to make spicy ketchup or add to a sandwich or burger, ramen, etc. Speaking of Underwood Ranches, their chili garlic sauce is perfect on eggs. I also have a bottle of Secret Aardvark habanero sauce for chili and hot dogs and most importantly, chili dogs. The last one that comes to mind is the only obscure one that you get in those mall stores where 99% of their business is from frat boy joke labels: “Sauce Bitch”. Despite the stupid name, this one is unique and delicious. It’s fruity and dark and goes amazingly well with pork dishes as well as eggs. I stumbled on it in a restaurant and now I have to order it direct from the manufacturer because I haven’t found anything else quite like it.
