Fair. This one usually pertains to lower risk decisions tbh. Stuff like what to have for dinner or how to spend the day off. And specifically when you otherwise wouldn't have a preference. But quite often doing nothing is the greater risk in high stakes situations too. In any case, better to have your ice cream even if it's not your favorite flavor, than none at all. That is, as long as you're actually going to eat it.

Sorry i was /s, the entire imperial system is now defined through the metric system standards. For example, 1in is defined as EXACTLY 2.54cm. Fahrenheit is defined as EXACTLY 5/9⁠(x +459.67) [K] or 5/9(x-32) [C].

If you don't know what you want, make a choice instead of just waiting. If it's not the right one, change your mind. It's always ok to change your mind. Sitting in stasis means the ice cream shop closes before you ordered and now you don't get any.

Funny how the imperial system matches at oddly exact numbers with the metric system... Strange indeed.

0lbs is absence of weight, 0kg is absence of mass. Terrestrials, smdh...

Once you're below -6C or so you just need more insulation. -6C to 10C in many ways can be harder to manage due to humidity, especially in wet conditions. My prolonged exposure experience is only down to -30C. I did not have enough insulation, but an extra base layer, better gloves/boots would have been sufficient. I was fine with fairly light clothing down to -18C. I hear -50C is where it starts to get really harsh again.

Your body also adjusts a lot. In the Summer in wearing a puffy indoors at 10C(50F) but in the winter I'll go out in a t-shirt at -10C, especially if doing manual labor.

No work, no bills, less responsibilities, minimal social pressure to be busy. Capitalism makes our experience of our lives shorter as well as the actual duration.

You can get it at WinCo if you're in the west.

Have you ever smelled some foam and had that give you a headache? Do you know that chemically smell?

If so, it tastes whole mouth like that but very concentrated.

There are also chunks but at the same time there is not discernable difference in texture or consistency. Just vague border regions that register montarily as the broad side of your tongue cuts through them like a razor.

Avoid at all costs. Bought one can for the novelty of feeling the same way. It is so much worse than you're imagining.
