Camper? Ice cream truck? Mobile dog wash mobile? Lots of things I can think of. I just wouldn’t want to deal with the maintenance lol.

Related but not the same.

Transformers don’t deal much with resistance though…reluctance I was referring to magnetic reluctance which is the magnetic analog…more applicable to the transformer in this case. Thanks for the interesting exchange 🙃

It’s just a phase. They will get over their reluctance.

Heh! I always think of that when talking about my printer or sewing machine. 😂

Front loaders cause less wear on clothing and use less water, which is why I originally chose front loading. It has been a while since I have been in the market, but the favorite feature on my old LG is the ease of getting to just a rinse and spin. Turn the dial to turn on the machine, hit the small rinse+spin button, then start!

Farmhouse is all about texture. What is your favorite color? Get a muted version of it. For instance if your favorite color is blue, try a color like needlepoint navy from Sherwin Williams. Or if it is red, try rosedust or toile red.

Since you have entirely neutral woodwork, floor, ceiling, and furniture any color is going to stand out…even if muted.

Recommended more than color: texture. Plaster techniques, shiplap (overdone a bit thanks to Chip and Joanna), cedar boards, wallpaper, etc. will add more to your farmhouse desires. Farmhouses are rustic so having the perfect trim, carpet, etc could handle something to contrast it.

Just some suggestions! Make sure to post once you decide on a change :)

This makes me glad I chose to replace my leatherman with a Swiss Army knife lol. I have the orange juice s2 and the only issue is a chip in the small screwdriver from trying to turn a different screwhead type. I keep it in my work bag but wanted something for personal use and decided on the deluxe tinker and am happy with it. The leatherman tools I looked at just didn’t vibe with me.

Putzing around is another way to say goofing off.

I always enjoyed the word putz. I typically use the verb format but it amuses me that every definition is so different lol.

I really love it! I have read manga and craft books on it and the color is nice. I upgraded from an Aura H2O 2 and it was well worth it for me. Don’t expect full color but even with it being “washed out” I still feel like the color adds a lot.

I wholeheartedly agree. I use my e-reader (a Kobo Libre Colour) daily. I still buy physical books sometimes but it is nice being able to have such a small and light device with a few choices on board. I have had many e-readers and tablets over the years and the only one I have had that I do not recommend is Boox. I got the Palma and the screen broke within 24 hours and they said it was my fault? I sold it at a yard sale. I have had kindles and Kobos with no issue for decades at this point. They are well built and worth having around. I prefer Kobo at this point for similar reasons to yourself. I don’t use custom firmware but I do use Nickel Menu to get to the games that Kobo decided to hide away on the latest OS. Also great for things like inverting colors or rotating on the fly. Hope you get a lot of life and enjoyment out of yours as well!

I was thinking this is actually thinner than sock yarn. Looks very similar to the lacy doilies that my grandmothers made of something more like 0 or 1. The connecting bits are actually braided or single crochet…so from a distance it looks like thicker yarn than it is. Either way…I love this and kinda want one now.

Therapy? I react badly to all ADHD medications so I am not medicated for it. What has helped me the most is working through things with a therapist who also helped me with implementing coping mechanisms. Things like pomodoro method (this got me through college!), organizers at “drop spots,” and learning how to self talk made a huge difference for me. It is not impossible to do well without meds…it is just harder.

Orange ones were the best! My favorite thing was leaving them be in my mouth until they were almost melted through the skin and then smoosh it on the roof of my mouth with my tongue. Man. I had forgotten about these!

It isn’t the blue sun…or is it? Sunlight when outside doing a long exposure is blue. But this is more due to the atmosphere than the sun. This is why “daylight” light bulbs have a bluish tint. The sun itself is not blue, it is just the atmosphere interacting with it that change the way we perceive the light on objects from it.

I just bought one…only because my PS4 died (OG white, RIP). There was nothing on PS5 that ever came out that said “you have to buy this!” I got the original PS4 to play Persona 5 and Final Fantasy XV. I just never was inspired by the design (and I am a sucker for modern design!!!) nor the catalog. I am sure I am not alone.

Comfort food: Drop dumplings (simple flour, salt, water only) in chicken broth. No veggies. No meat. Just dumplings.

Comfort activity: hiding in a closet. I am nearly 40 and will still do this XD

I used silica years ago and noted that it never hid the smell of poop. If you want something that masks it and don’t want to use clay, quality wood pellet litter can be good. Personally we use low tracking clay because it is what has worked best. I would mention it to the vet that the poop smells more potent than past cats. It could be health related as someone mentioned. Litter box choice? I don’t think matters for smell much. I have had several different designs over the years (no mechanical ones) and they all function about the same for smells.
