Security cameras and baby monitors are basically glorified webcams with cloud storage.

I looked it up and wow, that's crazy. Messi is basically naturally domesticated. If the medical conditions are genetic, he could be the start of a lineage of house pumas.

I Binged it on DuckDuckGo and got really interesting results about gender differences in blood plasma.

Sounds just like the sounds newer trucks make when they back up: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A3Wt1_51EVA

Before reading the questions:

  • The ball was uniformly gray, with a slight shine.
  • The person was genderless and featureless. I only pictured their hand and arm pushing the ball. The moment of contact was indistinct, as if the arm was hiding the ball from view.
  • The ball was the size of a large watermelon.
  • The table was square, about 1m² , brown-gray, with four turned legs. Same material as the ball: uniformly colored and vaguely glossy.

The base pairs are off and that irritates me more than the art - at least that has the excuse of being evocative or something.

Breakfast: half a yogurt cup, handful of cereal (leftovers from toddler), potato chips crumbs at the bottom of the bag (leftover from DnD last night), one banana.

Lunch: dozen Skittles, omelette with bacon and veggies.

If I pay attention to a written piece of information (name, phone number, address, short instructions, that kind of stuff) I will remember it for months and years. Comes in handy when working with complex policies and legislation!

This is balanced by the fact that I have trouble retaining auditory information. If you tell me your name, I've forgotten it before you've even finished talking. (But if I catch it on your badge out of the corner of my eye, I'll remember it for years.) The only exception are dog names - those I have no trouble remembering.

Haha! We've been scouring the discount bin at the local hardware stores for faucetry (is that a word?). By now most of our stuff is matte black because that's all that gets returned.

Using the wrong register for the material or topic. For example, using very literary language in a technical manual.... No, "peculiarities" is not an appropriate synonym for "features" or "specs".
