Came here to say this - Yellowjackets is aimed squarely at kids who were in high school in the mid-to-late 90s. (the old Millennial/young GenX crew, who just so happens to be the biggest group of TV viewers in the US) -- it’s a pure nostalgia play (this is not a complaint - the show is great!)

Yes, you are correct - when writing it’s best to parse your words like this. But the issue here is usually in speaking - people are not as precise in choosing their words for verbal communication.

In case you don’t want to watch the video:

I get what you’re saying, but you’re not going to successfully change someone’s mind by saying “I’ll call you what I feel like.”

Don’t do what my wife did: doctor told her to mix the liquid warm, and she thought she had to drink it warm. YOU DON’T. (The article is very clear on this.) The liquid tastes so much worse warm than cold. Get it ice ice cold and drink it.

My experience with Apple accessories is they break at least as often as the generic stuff, frequently more often.

The problem is: diamonds look really great!

They’re *probably* not going to rush into boosters for the 5-11 crowd.

“The biggest question being: What happens if someone steals your iPhone?”

I come from a Griswold house. Growing up we used to put up 10,000 or so lights. It was very fun.

Thank you, will be trying this weekend! I just got the plastic tool you mentioned.
