The most disgusting thing at least for myself was when I caught some stomach flu. A strain on steroids ha. I learned that uncontrollable projectile vomit and projectile diarrhoea are very real things and I hope I don’t experience it again. I was house-sitting too, and alone, which made everything more difficult. I lost a pair of pants - they reeked so badly I couldn’t wash the smell away. I vomited everywhere in the house, passed out with fever, would wake up hours later, attempt to clean, vomit some more, fall asleep again. Literally I thought I could die dehydrated.

But for other people my most disgusting thing was that time I was like 8 y/o and ate grilled cow intestines. Now, for context, that’s a totally normal dish in South America. But the thing is, these intestines hadn’t been properly cleaned. So they had cow shit inside. No, I didn’t enjoy them. I started spitting this chewed up barf that looked like slimy porridge. It didn’t have much taste or smell but it was like grimy sludge I wasn’t enjoying really. Everyone at the table went ewwww ugh oh no oh go wash your mouth omg and gagging. Whatever. Grown ups make a fuss over nothing.

I’m with the infrastructure answer too. It really is too broad but in short, anything that kinda stumps you on your tracks once it fails. Just now for some reason I no longer have hot water, very annoying.

I’m going to guess it’s from the movie Apocalypto, but I might be wrong.

Job offers

Not that I’ve seen any in ages

Otherwise… Mmm cats. Cats are good

That’s a good idea if it’s an option

I am also a hater of unnecessarily bright lights. In your shoes, presuming I’m happy with the product otherwise, I would paint over it with a bit of nail polish.

You can get polish in any color you want these days, and it’s very cheap. It dries fast and it comes with a very small brush. You can apply one coat, see if the led still shines through too much, apply another coat 15mins later once the first layer is dry. Repeat.

Edit: seeing the photo I realize the shape it has. Be careful with the polish if you use it, one coat or two probably will be okay on the inner surface but don’t add more or the button may get stuck. Also wait extra before even daring to test button functionality, you don’t want the button scraping off semi dry polish.

I would say it’s not necessary if the post is public. I would consider it if it was clear the conversation wasn’t meant to go viral, or if I suspected the person wouldn’t want the extra attention on the platform (for example it’s funny but it’s embarrassing, or maybe I know they don’t fully understand the privacy settings of a post like it happens with some elderly people). It’s a grey area for sure

Not the person you are replying to, but I think they meant that the AI needs a substantial amount of either reference (an art genre with lots of samples) or lots of your input if you’re feeding it to rework your concepts. They never said anything about quality.

Seek a therapist. Some universities offer their students counseling for free if you can’t afford it.

The first doesn’t make sense to me.

The second does but sounds weird.

The third looks okay to me, but beware I’m not a native speaker so perhaps I think it’s grammatically correct but it’s not.

By the way, the sentence feels silly out of context as you present it, and doesn’t make much sense by itself but I’m hoping you have some context that frames it such as another character asking “Who are you looking for?” and a story that explains why you would even be concerned they can see your ears. Maybe it’s an ear-eating monkey that gets triggered when they see ears. Or maybe they can shoot laser beams with their eyes but only aimed at people’s ears. I don’t know. There’s a reason I’m not a writer.

To prove our superiority in grace over sea lions, who also can clap, but not as gracefully

I think this depends a lot on the grandparents personality and mental state. If I had to do this with mine, I would pick places they have a personal connection to. For example, where they were born, the place their school is or used to be, somewhere memorable they visited during their honeymoon, you get the idea. Seeing stuff like that evolve through time is more interesting imo than just visiting, say, Paris or Tokyo virtually.

I think he’s got plenty of boards already, he’s a bit of a hardware scavenger, but thanks for the suggestion anyway

This and the other comment suggesting snacks gives me the idea of maybe imported snacks, that would be a novelty for sure

His opinion is that they’re cool but in reality he’s too smart for them. I’ve gifted him stuff like that in the past and he solved them in seconds. I’ve also seen him crack gizmo puzzles in other people’s homes to the astonishment of the owner.

I could look into those “guide the ball in a maze” type, which require motor skills and not just thinking. I was hoping to find something funny though, but no luck so far.

This is true, I can gift a bottle of wine if all else fails

I’ve read some really good answers, but imo there isn’t a worst type. This will vary from person to person, some people don’t get buried under the whatever they buy and others do, regardless of what their interests are.

Yoghurt about two weeks past (it was unopened previously)

Milk six days past

Red meat four days past (never frozen)

I can’t remember much else atm
