Maybe? I literally spent six weeks last summer on a tour bus with a better shower. I don't think my home showerhead has gotten worse, but idk. For the last couple of months I have been super displeased with it. I travel all the time and like 75% of hotel shower heads are better then that thing.

If you live in an area with hard water, and don't have a water softener, you may need to soak your shower head in vinegar to clean everything out again.
Or, you may have a pressure reducing valve somewhere in your system that is depleting your water pressure.
Or you may just have poo poo water pressure where you live.
You seem to be the outlier in all of this, so it may just be your specific circumstances.

My 2 prior pairs were from Zenni but they don't have anything with a larger shape, so I sprung for Warby Parker this time.

You say "sprung" but WP still looks super affordable. In my hometown there's an eyeglass monopoly, so the shittiest frames were three hundo plus.

And those look great!

Clubmasters are the best, they've been my go-to sunglasses for the last ~8 years. I've always went for tortoiseshell, but imo they all look good. Just be a bit more careful with them than plastic frames, they bend more easily (don't, say, lend them to a friend who leaves them in their jacket pocket...).

They'll be my main prescription eye glasses, not sunglasses.
I do have prescription sunglasses, too, because I am drat near blind.

my only objective when buying glasses is to buy them as cheaply as possible while not looking like I got them out of a sorority grab bag, or movie-theater 3D glasses drop box.

Because I will scratch and destroy, or lose them at a speed directly proportional to how much I paid for them.

This is why I just buy fOakleys every time. Spend $15 on a pair of glasses that look identical to the real thing, then get some polarized lenses for $20-$30.

No? I have to cut the vegetables that way. I made a chicken tortilla soup by tossing in whole tomatoes, carrots, and other poo poo and letting it blend for 6 minutes. Dump the chicken, beans, corn in at the end and pulse it 3 times.

I was extra lazy and bought pre cooked chicken.

But doesn't it tastes like hot veggie smoothie? Soup takes a while to make if you want it to be great. The taste of cooked veggies vs just heated up for a few minutes isn't the same at all

I've got one kinda like this (not the exact model but damned close). Best advice I can offer you is to buy a cheap pair of tongs if you don't have a set, and then use those to open the pressure valve when you are ready to get to your new, hot, cooked food.

Also, read the instructions.

Cooked a pork loin in about 30 mins with it. Just lobbed it in there, added a can of onion soup mix and a bottle of water, and ~30 mins later twas done and pretty damned good.

I probably don't have a sophisticated goon palate, so it's good to me and tastes good.

I'm so jealous of kids these days. Growing up all we had were the 100-in-1 electronic project boards which were just simple circuits. To do anything like what you can with an arduino today was a far off fantasy,especially at the current price point.

Yeah that came up in the inspection. They're an asphalt-asbestos combo that were laid in the mid-'50s, but unless I'm dying to rip them up they're (allegedly) safe, according to the group that tested them. I think the floor's awesome though, I'll keep them until I can afford to safely remove them.

Thanks! I'm glad y'all like it. I don't have a picture of the kitchen and floor handy, but the floor and blue continued all the way into the living room. Even the ceiling was a light shade of blue (you can't tell in the photo because it's overshadowed by how blue the walls are), and painting it was a nightmare.



Here's the living room now.
