What? How delicious velociraptors must have tasted basted with butter and baked? Or deep fried?
Mmmm. Velociraptor.

Just be careful if you see any coyotes running after them. You wouldn't want to accidentally an Acme spring-loaded boxing rocket.
I don't really give two thoughts about getting the slightly less cheap cheap things (though when it came to food I always bought the better things anyway because they tasted sufficiently better to be worth it) but if I'm spending much more than $50 on a single item I stress about it like I was still poor.
This is something I appreciate about Brandon Sanderson: he's able to keep producing his leatherbound editions so people can buy them for a display purpose whenever they want. Obviously if you want a signed and numbered first binding then you'll be paying $$$ but, for most people, the display book is sufficient.
The Pixel Buds call it Transparency mode for the Active Noise Control feature. On the Jabra it's surprisingly amazing at how well it works. I occasionally get a phantom tickle in my ear about hearing a car but most of the time I hear cars approaching (on roads where it matters) when they're still 30 or more feet behind me. Generally plenty of time to take a glance back and step further to the left if I need to.
Went out with some friends to a local bar and closed the place down. On the one hand, I will probably pay in the morning because I'm not in my mid-20's any longer. OTOH, it's nice to have friends to hang out with again. Something that I missed out on for far too long.
Or the $thing you put in your pocket then later, when you need it, you check your pockets for $thing only to not find it and then you spend 20 minutes looking everywhere for $thing only to, as you're about to give up in frustration, tap your pocket and feel it sitting right there. The whole damn time.
The #1 lifestyle improvement I have found is upgrading from a FitBit to a Garmin fitness watch. The Garmin has a feature that lets me trigger a "find my phone" ringer so when I inevitably forget where I put my phone down the watch, that's always on my wrist when it's not charging while I shower, can find it for me.
Now I just need them to come up with smaller tags so I can do that with all of my things. My earbud case has a "find my earbuds" feature only it's actually the most useless version of that ever because it just shows you the last place the phone saw them outside of the case. Which is never going to be the last place they were because I would find them if that was the case (also, it's GPS so it's about as accurate as a drunk blindfolded hillbilly trying to shoot their dinner).
I wasn't ready for the dame to walk in. She had a head that was as juicy as a watermelon and twice as ready for me to snack on. But, oh, I wasn't ready for her. Before I knew it she was the head and I was but the crab sitting on it.
They paired a non-sensical concept (a Picard clone created by the Romulans for...$reasons, a Locutus 2.0 clone would have made far more sense but they'd already done the Borg and the Romulans had never been in a Trek movie) with pretty bad writing. Add in an overcomplicated attempt to provide a backdoor return for Data (Spock's "Remember" from STII was simple, fast and could easily be ignored if they could never get Nimoy back) if Spiner ever wanted to reprise the role along with marketing that was trying way too hard to sell Shinzon as the next Khan and, well, ugh.
I will defend Generations as the second best TNG two-parter and Insurrection as disappointingly close to being a great two-parter (it mostly comes down to the interaction between the Son'a and the Admiral as being completely un-Trek-like but they gotta have an evil Admiral, I guess) but Nemesis is one that even I just can't even.
I got the survey and I'll fill it out when I get home from work.
Here's guessing whether the Bag of Holding, Firmament, System Shock or Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous rewards will come in first.
So what you're saying is your Acme Patented Cement Roadrunner Trap didn't work? At least it didn't backfire on you.
Except for that one time when my friends thought they'd successfully pushed me into irrelevancy from North America into Kamchatka and began sniping each other throughout Europe, Africa and the Americas while ignoring this guy who was building a defensive line around Asia. I took that game because by the time they recognized that I was a threat again I'd already snipped a location in NA, Europe and Africa to stop their bonus resource generation and started the Asian takeover of the world.
Given the process to clean and regrease it, I would guess that it's about on-par with the expectations for user servicing of any complex machinery: you're expected to have a pro do it. It's probably reasonable for a user to do it themselves if they're at least on par with changing brake pads on their car but that's not most people and, definitely, not most of Kitchenaid's target audience.
The Playstation 5's low power mode isn't capable of doing an update check without turning itself all the way on? I'm pretty sure even the PS4 managed to do that.
