Kind of both?
I hold the shower head in my hand almost the entire time, but when I need both hands (e.g. shampooing) I put it back in the holder and face away from it.
I can’t stand having the water running directly on my head or face - those waterfall shower heads are my nightmare scenario.
“In Silicon Valley, wearing a full business suit marked you as unsophisticated and not ‘with it’ in terms of tech and innovation. This caused the dress code requiring a suit to be inverted and it eventually reached the point where you can’t wear a suit and be taken seriously in Silicon Valley.”
Have you looked into gardening? Healthy, rewarding, easy to get started, room to grow (if you’ll pardon the pun)…
To add another: ‘pants’ means trousers in the US, but in the UK it means underpants. Can lead to some funny misinterpretations.
Hey now, don’t rope the rest of us in with the USA’s bizarro puritanical approach to TV censorship. You can blaspheme to your heart’s content on TV in the UK.
My friend used to bring Game Gear instruction manuals in to school. We’d sit and read them in the playground.
I never owned a Game Gear but somehow have nostalgia for those games - the instructions created these perfect versions in my imagination that never got shattered by having to actually play them.
Because sports teams aren’t just indistinguishable entities; they’re complex organisations with histories, tendencies, and traditions, and that’s before looking at individual players and coaches/managers.
Who dat! ⚜️
People support teams for all manner of reasons. Hometown is one of them, sure, but you don’t have to live somewhere to support a team there.
I’ve known plenty of people who supported distant teams because they visited once and liked it, because one of their parents support them, or even just because they like the uniform colours or the mascot.
I follow the New Orleans Saints and I’ve never been there.
Cynically? Because what they want to do rarely aligns with what people actually want. It’s far easier to just push through unpopular legislation and spin it retroactively than it is to run a full propaganda campaign ahead of a referendum and still risk losing.
Politicians only run referendums if they’re sure the outcome will be what they want, or if their hand is forced by the opposition.
I’d call it a mix of jazz and trip hop.
Not really an answer, but the definition of a ‘regular-ass house’ is very different in the UK/EU compared to the US. American suburban homes are huge.
Do You Dream in Colour? by Bill Nelson.
Great song, to be fair. My dad always insists that Gary Numan was a Bill Nelson ripoff with less talent. Personally, I think Bill has kind of a weak voice and was never destined for big success, but I do enjoy much of his work and Bebop Deluxe are hugely underrated.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine being strongly influenced by the original pitch for Babylon 5 is a pretty famous, if variously disputed, example.
Ate a bad kebab, nearly shat myself on the tube coming home from work, spent two days in bed with diarrhoea and vomiting, and I’ve had IBS ever since. Good times.
No that’s not normal. Sounds like they’re incredibly insecure and emotionally manipulative.
The Hobbit trilogy was filmed and released in 48 fps (in theatres only, now lost media), and pretty much everyone hated it.
I saw it and can confirm it looked really fucking weird. I thought I’d get used to it after a while but the effect kept pulling me out of the movie throughout the entire runtime.
I have a cup of black coffee once a day, usually made with an aeropress. On weekends I might have black tea instead, depending on how I feel.
I try not to have my first cup before about 10.30-11.00am, so my body has a chance to wake up naturally. I don’t really know if there’s any science behind that, but I feel like it helps make me less reliant on coffee to get me going in the morning.
I mostly just have one cup a day and then switch to Barleycup (caffeine-free hot drink) in the afternoon, but on very busy days I might have a second coffee around 4pm. I try not to, because if I do that too many days in a row I can feel my body starting to need caffeine to operate at a baseline level.
If it gets to that point, I avoid coffee for a few days to ‘reset’. Again, not sure if there’s any scientific basis for that but it seems to work for me.
In my experience, people build up a tolerance to caffeine pretty fast. It doesn’t take long to go from ‘a cup gives me a boost’ to ‘I have no energy until I have a cup’, which are very different things. I see people saying they drink an entire pot per day or more, and I have to wonder if they even get any benefit from it at all, besides holding off the headaches and fatigue of caffeine withdrawal.
It always makes me smile when this community lives up to its name
Given they can’t find the place to pour engine oil, they probably won’t know what this means or how to do it.
