The name is one aspect of the turn off from it. The other aspect is exactly what the meme brings up. Particularly in places like school, where a lot of nuance and subtlety is missed, the discourse around it comes across as toxic masculine. I know before I saw it, I assumed it was pretty much what it says on the box, just because of stuff I had heard growing up.
No. People should talk to each other, or at very least not be condemned for attempting to do so in good faith. Being social is the most basic of basics for humans, and this whole "anyone who talks to anyone ever is a nuisance" mentality is ridiculous.
You can type blind on a center console touchscreen, but you can't memorize the location of 6 buttons that don't move? I'm not buying it, doc. Besides, the buttons should at least have a ridge where the edges of them are, even if the buttons are smooth. If they're those shitty, completely smooth capacitive "buttons" that some electronics have anymore, I get not being able to discern them, but that's still the same problem as the touchscreen - no tactile feedback.
I also wasn't exactly trying to say exactly how your radio is laid out, I have no idea on your specific model. My point was that the buttons don't move, they're always in the same spot, so you just learn where they are.
Mate there's like, a whole paragraph left in my comment. You can't safely type any navigation information while driving. If you want to use voice control to navigate, it doesn't really matter if it's physical controls or a touch screen. Maybe read the whole comment where all of this was already addressed.
If the next button is to the right of the volume knob, always, and the play button is below the volume knob, always, and the previous button is to the left of the volume knob, always, then if you can find the volume knob, you can find those other controls. It's just a biiiiiit of learning your car's interface.
Compare it to a video game controller. Or a keyboard.All of my face buttons and keys have the same shape and size. I still know where they are, because I've used them each hundreds, thousands of times. You learn where they are, and if you don't immediately touch the right one, you can find it because they never move and you have feedback. A touch screen has zero feedback, and buttons are inconsistently placed, or 4 menus deep.
Touch screens are great in cars! For one purpose. The navigation. The touchscreen should only display navigation and function as a keyboard to search it, and only while the car is stationary. Everything else should have a physical control, at bare minimum as "backup"
Yeeeeah, that's not how microwaved water works. If there IS any temperature differential, the movement of the water quickly evens it out. By the time you're dropping your tea in, it's even.
As far as microwaves being stinky, that's a you thing, bud. My microwave smells fine.
No, it doesn't actually matter as to the quality of the tea. Hot water is hot water. Assuming you don't just microwave til it's boiling, and instead get it to the proper temperature, there will be 0 difference.
A lot of electric kettles have fine temperature control, so it's easier to dial in on an exact temperature. Brewing a lot of teas too hot will burn them and make them taste bitter. This is 100% a temperature thing, though, and what you use to make it hot has no impact.
When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, and not zebras. The guy needs to have an investigation done, and a proper trial, yes of course. And if something else happened, hopefully it'll come out during that, but that's a bit of a weird thing to gravitate towards first, man.
I'm not even talking about ads, really. Just item presentation. Making your stock of the exact same item more appealing than another places, or making one brand of an item more appealing influences people to buy that one, as opposed to the other.
The idea is the same with the digital displays. You don't have to worry about what the item itself actually looks like, within reason, it's always going to appear at first glance to the customer to be clearly labeled, bright, fully stocked, and ready to grab.
Cordless screw driver. Bought the day after building a flat pack bed with a crappy screw.driver that just shredded my hand. Thought it was frivolous at the time, but I've used it so much since. It's light, small enough to fit in my pocket and good for 90% of DIY tasks.
Got a gun from sako the other day it's cute, it's small, fits right in my pocket (yeeeeeah right in my pocket)
Real answers tho:
Air pump for car tires. I have notoriously bad luck with flats, leaks, etc. This thing has saved me more than a few times.
KVM switch. I work from home, this lets me have my work computer and my personal computer connected to the same equipment, and I can toggle between them with either a physical switch or a keyboard hotkey
Bit of a curve ball, but therapy. Life's tough, gotta have some outlets and advice sometimes.
I think for me it's an anxiety thing, and a generally good sense of time. If I have to be up at a certain time, I sleep more restlessly, and I tend to be good at estimating the time when I just barely wake up. So I wake up several times through the night, and just stay up when it's near time for the alarm.
