I built a shoe rack during the pandemic. It actually turned out great, it's way better than something from IKEA. It was indeed 2-3x the cost of an equivalent thing from IKEA if you consider all the tools and stuff I had to buy though.

Yes I have read the entire thing. I paid enough for it I better know how to use it.

Oh it took me about 4 hours recently to replace the battery in my galaxy note 10. Most of that time was painstakingly cleaning up the old adhesives and gaskets with alcohol, tweezers and scrapers.

If that's what it means it's worded wrongly. The only meaning of "yo" in this context is "years old".

The batteries are not soldered even in the newest Samsung phones. Everything you'd want to replace is modular. Not sure about Apple.

I think people who would say that might recognize Nirvana as more of a gen z fashion brand than an actual band. Like they know it's a band but the first assumption is that's not the driver of anyone's interest in it.

So the answer is no then. Just the shitty stuff is shitty. There's plenty of good stuff on YouTube.

I disagree that it was just "slave holding states". This is obvious to us, maybe, but when presenting the issue to non Americans I think it's important to be accurate on this. It was meant to give states (slave holding or not) with lower populations a larger voice. It still does that. Our system of government was never meant to be a pure democracy. The president wouldn't have to care about the priorities of smaller population states at all without the electoral college. They would just have to trust that he'll keep them in mind.

With all that said though, with how homogenous the county is culturally and with communication and travel barriers between states and between the state and federal governments pretty much non existent, at this point I think it has outlived its usefulness and should be abolished. Also the difference between the most and least populated states are, percentage wise way bigger than they were when the county was founded. Also, if my voice as a populated state dweller is smaller because of this system, it feels less like the president is "my" president because I had less of a say in picking him. At the end of the day the president is everyone's president equally so the election of the president should be a purely democratic process.

That's an interesting complaint. Is ubiquity necessarily bad?

I think I'm a pretty normal person. Unremarkable.

Actually you're right, it's that person's prerogative to try to make themselves as comfortable as possible with the resources they've been given. They shouldn't care about my comfort just as I do not care about theirs.
