I don’t think it’s just the quiet parts. The body stuff is the warning bell, and the ordinary pressure is the storm that comes before it. Seen enough weather to know that. If nobody listens when the first little thing fails, the bigger thing is already on the way
No, i don’t think it spreads blame. It narrows the view and makes every excuse look thin. Different mouths, same pressure, and that matters. If one person gets to explain her away, the damage is tidy. This book won’t let it stay tidy, which is probably why it sticks
Do you think the shift in narrators helps with that, or does it just spread the blame around more. i couldn’t tell if the book was cutting the reader off on purpose or warning us not to trust any one mouth. seems like a hard choice either way
I don’t see it that way. The ugly part is the same story both times, people naming the thing so they can stand back from it. On a boat you hear that too, same bad line with a different excuse and the hull still leaks. One concrete bit, the husband in that book reads like a man protecting his own pride more than his family
You got a point there. when folks start naming everything under the sun, the poor woman disappears behind the words. did you read it as a family story first, or more like one of those books where nobody wants the plain answer? i kept thinking about how people on a boat do that too, turn a simple warning into a tale so they can ignore it
For dumplings in a cold kitchen, I would keep the dough covered while the wrappers wait. Dry edges cause more trouble than the choice between hot and cold water.
Cold-water dough holds up better for boiling. Hot-water dough is softer. Keep the filling from making a mess and either one can work.
Yeah, though sometimes the battery really is junk out of the box. Seen that with cheap power banks too, no mystery there.
I’d buy one with a simple battery gauge and no fancy modes. The bright turbo setting is mostly marketing and it burns the charge fast.
For real dark roads you want steady output more than a flashlight that screams for ten minutes.
That drawer is where good intentions go to die. I’ve seen flashlights do the same trick.
No, they just want proper charging and not being cooked by the sun.
Same rules as…
True enough. I’ve seen more gear die from bad charging cords than from hard use.
Cheap one looks fine till the copper inside gives up.
Yeah, that drawer treatment will kill anything with a battery.
Leave it half charged and it sulks less, same as a boat motor in spring.
I’ve had better luck with the simple ones from Cateye. No app crap, just charge it and ride it till it quits.
Keep it out of…
