This is purely anecdotal but I've had maybe three issues with a Moen faucet over the years, and I've never ever even once talked to a customer service representative. Their reply to my support email is just a shipping notification for the replacement part. That's it, that's the whole interaction. Won me right over.

I had the water thing explained to me so many times and I could never get it intuitively. I'm not sure why. These ladies are just the water analogy again.

What finally worked for me was someone describing it to me like a bike chain of electrons. Maybe because I'm too dense to conceptualize a really tiny liquid inside a solid. But once it was described like amps are how many links go by, ohms makes it harder to move, and volts push the chain and it's a CIRCLE, and they are always touching each other. I was set.

Maybe that's what you remember, water doesn't intuitively link to the concept of a circuit or the chain of electrons.

There's still the possibility I didn't understand this analogy either, but at least I feel more confident.

What about the gums in the heavy whipping cream? Every package heavy cream I can find at the grocery store contains some kind of gum, even the nicer ones. This doesn't impact the butter?

Absolutely agree, great to see it written out so well. Took me a long time to come to this realization and part of it was playing even more assuming that the feeling was coming from not being able to spend the time on them I wanted.

Extra devious as the research for engagement and dopamine hooks only keeps improving, most games are just gambling games or choose your own adventure. I've found my quality of life skyrocketing switching to books and puzzles/puzzle games.

Tldr Play Tametsi, experience the joy of gaming again.

They changed the ingredients too, tastes awful now. I'm not sure why they did a visual rebrand at the same time.

I've heard the way back original creator is making a similar line of snacks but I haven't tried those yet.

Wow, ten GB a second between GPU and monitor. It makes sense but I never thought about it that way, that's amazing.

Still available? Thanks!

This is great! Thank you, kind stranger, for doing things I've always been too lazy to do.

There are brain surgeries where you just chuck out the extra to get to the parts you want to work on, eloquent vs non-eloquent tissue. And epilepsy surgery where they completely disconnect the halves. Recently read a pretty good book on this.

If you skip the first chapter, and then stop once he starts talking about anything other than neuroscience The Immortal Mind is a great overview of this by an extremely talented neurosurgeon who has dog shit views on literally everything else. Still worth it for the good parts but I warned you.

Wait though, why is the offer not valid in MN? What's the law there?

Edit: ok, I looked it up. They passed a law in 2014 that if your sold more than $5k worth coins in a 12 month period you have to do a bunch of registration paperwork with the department of commerce. Want to guess why? Predatory Sellers with limited time offers, high pressure tactics, heavily marked up coins, you get it. What a coincidence.

This is completely unrelated, but if your user name is from the short story of the same name...

Do you think everything sounded pretty great and would've been fine if somebody hadn't opened the hatch and caused a bunch of garbage, leaves, and sticks to get sucked into the machine?

Just sayin'

There was some article I read a long time ago and it's been doing at too much work propping up my enthusiasm for the franchise.

Something like an exec or somebody who would send back all these pages of notes read the script to the last one and only came back with "holy shit!".

Must've been impressed with how much it sucked.
