So “You’ll probably die of a disease you could [not] prevent with diet and exercise,” major factors in most of these being genetic and/or environmental factors beyond individual control.

Bless you for saving me the time it would have taken to watch this.

I’ve had cancer and covid (break through) and have been in accidents. Ain’t dead yet, knock on wood.

Google says AIREY is a synonym for EYRIE/AERIE: as in a lofty nest. I’m sure they’re all etymologically related.

12 things I don’t like so I think they make your house look tacky.

God’s work. Thank you

Ah, I have no art on the walls at all, I have grubby baseboards and worn-out, ugly carpets, no books, tons of clutter, visible cords, a few visible swords, I have zero idea what “concept of scale” even means and I care absolutely not one whit about how it’d look like in someone else’s eyes.

Saved me from watching the video. Now if you could save us all from the idiotic content!

Thank you for this essential service. Videos are even worse than slideshows.

And if you really want it, the full transcript:

Hi everyone, my name’s Meredith with Lifehacker.com and today we’re talking about all the ways you might be making your house look cheap and tacky. It’s great to make sure that your home feels like you, but at the same time there’s some decorating choices that can make…

“I honestly don’t see the big deal about coming up with a new word. But, even then, trying to force choosing/naming one’s pronouns all the time is not something I can go along with.”

It’s always possible to use graceful and grammatical English without using gendered pronouns or awkward constructions.

Examples:
“Is Kevin coming to the meeting?”
(no change necessary)

I always wonder what the daily use is like for folks that frequently break cables. I’ve probably only had a couple cables break and it seems to be mostly due to neglect. (I once left my MBP charger on the floor and the Roborock vacuum snagged it and rubbed a hole into it).

Agree on Anker - the lightning cables I have from them last longer than apple’s PLUS they had a lifetime guarantee and I’ve been able to replace them for free when they have eventually failed.

Then you’ve simply purchased from shit brands. I remember buying a no-name 3 pack of lighting cables in 2015 that were pieces of junk and failed within a few months, one didn’t even work at all iirc. I have Anker cables I bought four years ago that are still like new. I fucked one up on accident, and emailed them that…

Am I the only one who finds many cloth masks actually *less* comfortable, though? I always hear about N95 being uncomfortable. But at least the 3D structure doesn’t make it feel like I am sucking in cloth every time I breathe.

It’s funny to me that my Apple cables have never gone bad, but all the 3rd party ones have.  A tough braided nylon cable is great until the cheap lightning connector breaks off.

Yes there are cheaper alternatives to apple products but some of them are poorly made and you get what you pay for.

You want to remove the supply line, which might require a special manufacturer-specific tool, and then you’d use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Ridgid-57003-Change-Faucet-Wrench/dp/B078YYD66B to reach up and catch some notches on the underside of the nut holding the faucet on. Usually.

The new faucets I have seen come with a plastic tool that is just big enough to fit over the nut that holds the sink in place. It’s long enough to reach into that space and then you won’t need the basin wrench for the install. You may need the basin wrench to remove the old faucet if you can’t find a way to remove it…
