I used slack for about 4 years and it was the best. Had everything you could ever want for that sort of thing. As a graphic designer, I took pride in creating hilarious representations of my team mates as emojis for all to share. Then I changed jobs and started using Teams. It's like... Why even bother? Let's just go back to physical letters and phone calls while we're at it. Except, that would be more reliable.
I used to be disgusted that people didn't seem to care that they were risking their own privacy and national security to boot. But then I remembered that our own government won't do anything to keep our individual privacy in check from corporations. So as long as that's the case, I don't see why anyone should give a fuck. The government did this to themselves.
On the one hand, we already do it to cigarettes so it makes sense to do it to alcohol as well. On the other hand, why aren't we labeling other items that have a cancer risk like floss or nonstick pans or a plethora of other items? Sometimes I see the little state of California warning sticker, but I know loads more stuff should be labeled that aren't.
The US is quite a large land mass and thus has the ability to produce almost every kind of alcohol you can think of. Some areas are better for growing grains, and others are better for growing grapes, etc. As someone who enjoys mixology as a hobby, I'd say my shelf is about 70% US made liquors and the rest are imported. Most of the wine I've come across has been made in California. And ever since craft brewing had a moment, all the beer me and my friends drink are US made as well and those can get pretty hefty if you drink things like stouts. I usually just assume that every country has found a way to make at least one type of high proof product out of "necessity" at one point in time.
I actually don't think this would be bad. Growing up, my mom used to make tuna casserole and it was one of my favorite casseroles. Looking at the recipe, this is mostly the same, except you sub noodles for waffles. What's one carb for another? I could do without the olives though...
If we're strictly talking dust accumulation, there's a few things you can do to reduce this.
Make sure to change the filter in your HVAC system and intake vents every few months with a high quality filter. The better the filter, the more you need to change it.
You can also add an air filter to individual rooms. I added them to all our bedrooms and it helps a ton with keeping dust down.
Aside from that, you'll still need to dust every so often and how often will depend on how fast it gets dirty again and how deep you want to clean. I use a vacuum and damp rag to dust shelves and such every month and I dust other things like blinds and fan blades and pull out furniture and appliances once a year. Every few years we'll need to remove something that usually never moves and we'll clean up the dust from that. I will say it's much easier to clean stuff regularly when you don't have lots of things laying around or taking up space. Keeping literal objects tidy makes it less of a chore. It's a lot easier to just wipe a table than to wipe a table and all the knick knacks.
I don't know what it was about that program that was so entertaining as a child. Maybe it was just easy to tinker with all the knobs and sliders and discover what would happen. The one I remember wasting the most hours on was the pins and marbles. A ball would pop out the top of the screen and fall down and hit the pins. But every now and then a smiley face would fall out and would make a little "meep" sound every time it hit something. And me and my brother and sister would watch it go until a smiley face popped out and we'd all shout "a smiley face!!!" and giggle to ourselves. My parents probably thought we were nuts.
When I was. Small child in the early 90s, my dad was a network engineer and he setup our family computer with DOS and lots of games. I don't remember all of them but I do remember the following:
Various arcade games that began running too fast to play after he upgraded the processor
Commander Keen
After Dark, which wasn't really a game so much as a cool and highly adjustable screen saver. But for some reason me and my siblings spent many hours playing this "game".
Anyway, I guess Commander Keen is my only real suggestion here and I do believe it's a great game. Just wish I could remember some other games he had installed on the DOS system for us that weren't baby games like Mickey's ABCs and 123s.
Did people not know this? They sit right next to each other on the shelf. I've found that typically when a cheap liquor is very obnoxiously colored, it's going to be made with food dye, vs a product that's more expensive will use specific tricks in the industry to get the color right. A good example is Empress Gin. The color comes from pea flowers and will even change color when you add acid. And even though it's very bright in color, it's still nowhere near as electric blue as blue curacao.
