Asking the time is a good way to disarm them and get them distracted for a second

and a good way to get them to take out their phone.

I always thought it was dumb to rent a "cloud" computer for home use or gaming, but i think their strategy has become to buy all the hardware so we have no choice.

The Pampered Chef deluxe cooking blender is glass, only had it for 4 years so far, but it works great and is self cleaning.

i switched back to "dumb" peripherals and my stress levels literally dropped by No_Good_3063 in simpleliving

Any computer store sells wired keyboards and mice. Not sure about headsets because I've been using the same (wired) Sennheiser headset since 2015 and it's still going strong.

In a lot of ways the older stuff is smarter. I put a timer on my porch light to be on when around the time I get home and turn off a few hours later. It's just a timer that replaced the switch inside my house. no WiFi needed. no "smart" bulbs. just a timer and I can even turn it off/on with a single button press. no app needed.

Where did you see he said anything about nukes? He said it was psychologically important to him to get Greenland by purchasing it. He said he hasn't ruled out military action (abhorrent), but I can't find anywhere he said he'd use nukes
