Husband’s asking if I have enough downloaded to read/watch during the long flight. Meanwhile my plan is to drink copious amounts of wine and catch up on sleep. Pillow check, cozy scarf check, warm socks check, eye mask check, ear plugs check.. zzz..

@gssram Does not mean I am not buying shit anymore. Still am. Almost always grouping things together for the free delivery. Only once have I had to pay for 2 day shipping when I wanted something just before a vacation. $6 vs $140 specially when i don’t use Video/KindleUnlimited etc.

@gssram I cancelled Prime last year and have successfully managed to avoid it till now. Like you said planning helps, but its mostly a mindset change. I’m trying to cut down impulse purchases and this has helped.
English
We too canceled our Prime subscription to see if we could live without it. The experiment lasted 5 days. Got exasperated when I had to head to 3 different physical stores on a Friday evening to find my son a pair of rain-boots for a trek he had on Sunday podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

@sandipb And the reason I put “at the time” in quotes is because once you have setup the app, you can then switch out the sim and the app will continue to work, no problem. So then what kind of security feature is this? Why cant an OTP from another device work? No answers.
English
@sandipb There are so many issues with the online/mobile banking system. Like you cannot install/activate the bank app on a mobile device that does not have the linked phone number’s simcard in it “at the time”. Why?? So ipad, cdma devices are out for no reason!

@kv @jayasrinivasan I recently did this, not alternate paragraphs but tortured myself through a below average thriller, lol. In the process learnt not to trust “bestselling” lists because they mean nothing unless you are aware of who is really buying it.
English
@jayasrinivasan @ruch This is very surprising, I can't put down a thriller even if it is terrible, might read alternate paragraphs but can't not know the ending.

The weirdest, most dramatic thing I’ve ever witnessed was when the man standing next to me on Pier39 watching the sea lions, suddenly stripped in the November cold & jumped naked into the water. The sea lions were traumatized & kept barking furiously. He was eventually arrested.

What is up with the horribly gaudy storefronts of these new vape/smoke shops springing up everywhere? The LED/Neon lights and posters are such an eyesore. Is it just a DC/NoVA thing cause I don’t think I’ve seen these elsewhere?
English
@ruch I don't get it either but I assumed that was because I was not part of their target demo. Whatever I just shared is what I picked up from this podcast episode from a few weeks ago (listen from 5 mins on) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pos…

Someone please explain the Barbie hype to me. I’m not getting it. I would normally not watch that going by the visuals and the trailer. But Robbie, Gosling, Greta Garwig in it? Is there an angle I’m missing?
English
@kv No ads, PR interviews etc? Even Google homepage is sparkling pink here!
English
@gssram Hmm.. the franchise hype makes sense. I had a Barbie growing up but I still don’t get it. There were no stories AFAIK atleast comics had stories/plot etc, it was just a doll.
English
Having to explicitly block all the random bots now (draw this, roast him, dub this, screenshot this etc) because entire comments sections are now only this.

I remember the exact day I fell in love with salads. I never could get the hype with the watery crunchiness of lettuce. But one summer evng when I’d run out of options for dinner in Philly center city, chanced upon a Sweetgreen, tried their Kale Shroomami n been a convert since.

This person clearly hasn’t had coffee in either of the places in the last 5years.

Ordering a coffee at a 5-star hotel so you can work in the lobby is one of the world’s great arbitrages. You can either pay $3 for a run-of the-mill Starbucks with rickety seating and janky Internet, or $6 for a soft leather couch, table service, and supersonic Wi-Fi speeds.
