Build her a server, install it at her house, set up some sort of automated DVD ripping mechanism so that she can digitize her own collection, wait for the inevitable tech support call, then go spend a Sunday afternoon fixing her server and digitizing her collection for her while she makes you dinner. You get to call it “quality time”, and you get fed while keeping her happy and her collection as far away from yours as possible. Win/win, everyone is happy.
Yeah that’s cool and all. But now build that into the front of this, and I’ll really be impressed.
Personally…I embraced my curly hair and started learning how to take care of it.
It started with the No-shampoo movement. The thing about most shampoos, especially dandruff shampoos, is that that are very harsh. “The tingling tells you it’s working” is bullshit. That’s your skin drying out from the chemicals. And the more you use it, the more dandruff you have when you stop and the more you need to use it. It’s a vicious cycle. Then you have to use a conditioner just to try to put moisture back into your scalp, but silicones can’t hydrate like natural oils that your scalp produces can. The biggest confusion is not washing my hair for a few days, and ending up with dandruff and greasy hair.
After not shampooing for about 3 months and then only using shampoo once every 2 weeks, I found that my dandruff almost disappeared. Almost…because I was still using harsh shampoos that would strip all the moisture from my head and dry out my scalp. My hair would be oily for a few days and then return to normal after a few showers. That’s when I decided to grow out my hair and learn to take care of the curls. I discovered that most shampoo are harsh because of the sulfates, parabens, phthalates, alcohols, and other chemicals designed specifically to strip your hair of oils. Switching to sulfate free shampoos stopped that cycle immediately. Learning about conditioners and other hair products brought out curls that practically every woman I meet would kill to have for themselves. And I haven’t had dandruff or itchy dry scalp ever since, even on the coldest and driest days in the winter.
Treat your beard the same way. The skin underneath still needs the oils it produces to stay healthy. Use the same sulfate free shampoo to wash your beard and allow your skin to heal and rehydrate naturally.
I never disputed it. I said I don’t care. They can pronounce it however they want. In regular conversation with people around me, I’ll call it whatever I want.
They released a joke video, as evident by the singing and the fact the kids still said it “wrong” at the end. I think they are very aware and understand that people will still call them Soos.
I live in a place where people call things whatever they want to call things, and when enough people call that thing by that pronunciation for long enough than it becomes the default pronunciation. Which is exactly the same as where you live.
IKEA in North America pronounces it I-Key-Ah in their commercials. That’s directly from the company itself. If they are OK with accepting the different pronunciation of their own name, then why am I expected to say it the European way? That goes for Suse and Asus as well, since they’ve been called Soos and Ace-sus for years before they decided to “correct” everyone.
Non-Anglophone countries are free to exist and are free to pronounce things however they want. I would be looked at as if I had two heads if I pronounced those things like those non-Anglophone countries. It’s about not wanting to be treated like I’m a idiot just for pronouncing things the “proper” way.
I don’t care. It’s Soos. It’s Ace-SUS, not Ah-soos. It’s I-Key-Ah, not E-Kay-Ah. These are the way everyone around me says these things for as long as I can remember.
That was more chaos winning than evil. Blowing up credit institutions and wiping everyone’s debt is far from evil in most people’s eyes.
You know how cookies are a big deal and how every website keeps asking you to accept their cookies? Now you know why…it’s not a conspiracy, it’s just how the internet works.
Wanted to play some games, didn’t have money but I did know someone that knew someone that knew someone that ran a BBS that had some pirated games.
Yes, I’m that old.
