@brad_frost My oldeset does the same thing… I shall have to show her the clip now. Thanks for the reminder it exists.

@progo I can't help but feel like it would be hard to listen for more than one name in group settings…

@louis I have a $50 US savings bond that my great grandmother bought for me when I was born and about once per year I am reminded that I should get around to figuring out how to cash out as a not-American living in not-America. I love the concept but the whole process of everything to do with savings bonds is so confusing!

(Thanks for the reminder haha)

I have always been content with my name. I have always liked how it's not a name where people might assume a nickname is better.

Until today, when I realised that cool people use a nickname in their private lives and their given name in their public lives and now I'm jealous.

One of my coworkers passed away unexpectedly in December. If you feel compelled, his family would benefit from the assistance.

My super-great outstanding backpack from eBags (RIP) is no longer a thing. I think I'd go with this LTT bag if I needed to replace it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2S31JPMWMY

@raintrees I always like to point out that the Dutch family I've asked all say they call it "going American"

Futher research has just shown that apparently calling it a "no-host event" is common parlance among the event planner types

I wish there was a common abbreeve like BYOB but for saying "let's meet up for dinner and we each pay for our own stuff"

The fact that "did not vote" seems to "win" so many elections should be more of an issue than people seem to make it.

@Vo screws actually! The kit we got had a pile of them along with a screwdriver, kid-safe saw thing, a perforator to make creases and folds in the cardboard. It’s rather fun!

First time playing with Makedo and I’m not sure if it was a gift for me or the kids

I like to think of myself as the kind of person that would not make the cut for a "man on the street" interview montage

A major downside to convincing someone with on an emotional level instead of a logical one—or primarily with emotions rather than primarily with logic, because who truly only logial 🖖—is that emotions can change.

I can't help but think The Orchard are a bunch of dufuses

Lower class: courier packages left at the door risk theft

Upper class: courier packages are handled by staff
