Agreed. We have kept wearing masks in specific places (public transit, crowded events, airplanes) and it really does make a difference. I never get sick from airplane trips any more, which used to be a fairly regular occurrence.
I will say, I was never able to figure out how to stop a properly fitted mask from giving me a terrible headache after 8 hours of use so I’m glad I work from home and don’t need to make the choice of mask vs comfort at work.
I have a white Prius named Shadowfax so if I need to go somewhere fast I can yell “run Shadowfax, show us the meaning of haste!”
Local takeout ftw. I haven’t eaten at a pizza chain in years and don’t miss it at all!
Now the real question in New England is Italian-style vs Greek-style pizza
Another vote for mindustry! That game is a blast.
Highly recommend IGNEA if you like melodic metal. A few faves:

But gosh their stuff is just all awesome.
I have a cheap smartwatch (amazfit bip) that tracks sleep and I have found it to be very accurate for me. I assume it tracks when I fall asleep based on heart rate and movement?
Anyways it plays nicely with my android phone and only cost about $50 and honestly I’m pretty happy with it! I was pretty skeptical at first but it’s really handy as a fitness tracker too and I feel like it encourages me to stand up and exercise more.
I also have a somewhat erratic sleep schedule and it’s nice to know when I’m starting to get into a sleep deficit and need to get caught up.
I recently got an ebike, and I’m shocked at how much it has improved my ability to get exercise over just having a normal bike.
On days when I’d skip biking to work or the store because it’s too hot, I can go on the bike and get a moderate workout. It’s got a huge cargo basket so I’ll take it on shopping trips instead of the car. My son can ride on the back so sometimes it’s the school drop-off vehicle. Being able to go faster with the e-assist means I don’t worry about being late as much. I bike SO much more often and even though it’s less of a workout than with a regular bike I think on the whole I’m getting more regular exercise so it’s a win.
I also have a folding exercise bike at home, and try to hop on it if I have a long conference call where I’m going to be on mute the whole time. It doesn’t happen often but it’s enough that it adds a little bonus exercise.
I would have had a local barbecue joint cater the wedding instead of getting a fancy caterer. The food was the most stressful part of our wedding and it wasn’t even that good for the price and trouble.
Would keep the strawberry shortcake instead of wedding cake though, that was bomb.
Other than the food I wouldn’t change a thing. I married the right guy and he’s just gotten more awesome with time. And we had a (relatively) low-key wedding to start with so there’s not much I have in the way of regrets.
Jaws doesn’t quite fit the prompt but although it’s a good movie, the book is essentially a sub-par beach read. And there was no USS Indianapolis monologue in the book.
I pay $15 a month for a plan with 5gb data. But even their unlimited plan is $30 a month. So yes, mint is cheaper assuming you are talking about just one phone.
Not OP, but we have a bidet and a basket of cut up t-shirt cloths next to the toilet that are single-use and then go in the wash every week. I wouldn’t personally reuse washcloths for wiping out of fear of UTIs, but I’m extra paranoid.
