I suppose it’s a matter of perspective. Some would say the joy and enrichment from being alive and caring about others outweighs the sadness from loss.

You say that as if it makes less sense

I just bought a house, and having someone to coordinate all the paperwork thoroughly and promptly was definitely valuable to me.

Latin has more rules, but they’re more utilitarian than fancy. Latin rules are there to make sure you understand exactly what is being said. French rules are there to make everything elegant and confusing, like high fashion.

I just have some high school Latin from long ago, but if you parse “fancy” as “ornamental at the expense of utility”, then I think it’s a fair description.

The transition is hellish if you go for the more extreme versions, and you need total control of your schedule because one missed or delayed nap will totally wreck you.

This is merely a projection of a square on the surface of a cone projected onto a plane.

I’ve toyed with the idea of staffing the House by sortition. Maybe not entirely random, pooling from State and local offices might be more practical, political efficacy is a skill and a little experience is valuable.

Victorian style top hat

Used to swear a lot, still swear but much less frequently.

The effect of swearing is fairly diluted, they’re used so often they don’t really carry any weight when you use them. I find that there are typically better ways to emphasize a point, and using them more sparingly makes them more effective.

Ducks. Masters of land, air, and water. Good ol’ duck, nothing beats that

Yes, but different heat works with different flavors

I felt somewhat similarly about cream cheese in sushi, then I watched some video of a guy in Japan taking Americanized sushi to an old traditional sushi chef. When he liked the cream cheese, I unclutched my pearls a bit.

My wife puts the nearest hot sauce on everything. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate spice, but she has no regard for the flavor profile of the sauce or the food. Maybe your wife’s the same. I’ve been slowly trying to get her to pair her spice sources thoughtfully.

Tabasco is a sup-par hot sauce for most pizzas. Red pepper flakes are best in my opinion, and pack plenty of heat and flavor. I had some serrano basil sauces that went great with pizza, which I think could be expected with any sauce featuring basil. If you’re feeling fancy, Truff goes great on pizza too. If you’re going to do Tabasco, at least do the smokey chipotle.

Different sauces taste different, and pair differently with different foods. Some flavors synergize with a dish, some overpower it, and some clash. I wouldn’t say regular Tabasco necessarily clashes with pizza, but I think it usually overpowers the other notes. There are more delicious choices.

It’s a system designed to correlate to typical ambient temperatures, which it does. Just as Celsius is designed to correlate to water temperatures, and Kelvin is designed to correlate to absolute temperatures. Hence the top comment: Fahrenheit is how humans feel (range of climate temperatures humans live in), Celsius is how water feels (range of temperatures for liquid water), Kelvin is how the universe feels (range of all temperatures).

Denying the nature of the general scale because you don’t personally use the whole thing is as silly as calling Celsius pointless because you don’t personally use ice cubes.

I almost never experience below -5C

Okay. Fahrenheit did. 0°F was supposedly based on the lowest air temperature he measured in his hometown.

This isn’t about pain points and special clothing, it’s about measuring the typical range of climate.

Fahrenheit is what everyone feels. It’s a scale of 0 to 100 of how hot it is outside. Excluding extreme outliers, it covers the range of temperatures the average human might experience. In Celsius that’s like -20 to 40. I personally use Celsius anyway, because I don’t consider it much of an inconvenience, but Fahrenheit is certainly the more human-centric scale.

It’s a very tight script. There’s a lot going on, but everything goes together neatly. On the surface it’s a simple flick, but if you pay attention there are so many little pieces that slip into place. If you watch it a second time knowing everything, and pay particular attention to the little details and seemingly innocuous dialogue, it’s hard to ignore how elegantly the film comes together.

I found an article which goes into it more.
