Mine will ask me a string of questions without a pause. So I answer them in order, without context, like "Yes. Unlikely. It's not due to rain. Beef. Wednesday. History, etc."
So much of our society is driven by people whose motivation is to be "better than the next guy." It's such a toxic attitude, especially because it's super-prevalent to try to be better than the next guy not by improving oneself, but by making life harder for that next guy.
1Password. I have unique passwords for every single site and application, and the only passwords in my head are my desktop logon and 1Password's Master Password
I wouldn't ever ask this as I think it's too easy to prepare a bullshit answer for, and therefore the chance of me getting something worthwhile from it is very small.
Asus. Tried to claim that the TPM failing on a 13 month old Chromebook motherboard was down to misuse, and that the cost to replace was 125% of the RRP of the device. (I got an 80% refund using local laws)
Some of them I like, some of them I really don't. But I wouldn't ever tell the owner I didn't like something they'd had done, because why do I expect them to care what I think?
I was part of a parents group for a while. I left it because I was getting really irritated about people using it instead of reading the school noticeboard or doing the most elementary Googling.
When you take meat out of the package, dry it on kitchen paper before you do anything else with it. The liquid that leeches out of the meat prevents getting a proper sear because it fixes the boundary temperature between the pan and the meat at 100 deg C.
My time has value. Based on a combination of my hourly rate at work, how much time I spend at work, and how busy I am with supporting my family outside of work, I can make an estimate of the value of my unallocated time.
Just eat it. It's a free meal that someone's made for me, and I am a civil person. If I get invited back, I suggest they don't go to the effort of cooking, let's go halves on a takeaway.
Greying in your mid-50s is definitely not "before your time." I'm a few years younger than you and I'm both greying and thinning. But I've accepted it. Part of living a life.
I think they should make a separate subreddit for NSFW AskReddit.

Sex and the City 2. An absolute abomination on every level
About themselves? Eyebrows. Definitely.

My only weakness is that I’m a perfectionist…..knock them out the ball park with that one
As an interviewer, if I heard this I would think "This person is a pain in the ass who is always complaining and never gets anything done. NEXT!!!"

Barbecue or curry, generally. Sometimes I'll roast some meat in the barbecue so it gets a nice smoke flavour.

It signals continuing use of (and therefore acceptance of what happened to) that platform, so I feel that they're not my sort of person.
Fixing stuff and making connections. At home or at work. If I can't fix something in my area, I usually know who can. It feels great.

I would take the money. I wouldn't want to have to relive the grief of not being with someone after the day was over"

Ocean's Eleven. The Clooney/Pitt one with the soundtrack by David Holmes
The Mummy (1999)
Mummy-era Rachel Weisz. Hoo-wee...

Still chuckling about yesterday's trip into the office...
Cars, not the movie franchise, just the original movie, it had no right to hit that hard. The accompanying game was pretty awesome too
Cars is so full of content. Everything you look at is there intentionally, all killer, no filler. There are easter eggs everywhere. It's spectacular.
Spend today catching up on
Couldn't go swimming unless we waited an hour after eating. I think it was to give them a break before we started trying to drown ourselves again
That was a very commonly held belief for a long time. I think it's only really been refuted in the last decade or so
Walk down any reasonably old street and point out all the buildings older than his country. “Now, this public toilet was opened in…”
This is also my suggestion
