I bought a pair of not actually that expensive Hoka Ora recovery slides as house slippers because merely trying them on put a smile on my face.

one of the best changes I did was get a little plastic 2 tbsp spoon (old drink mix scoop) for measuring the laundry detergent.

My washer takes 1-2tbsp max. Much better than using the scoop or cap that comes with the detergent.

Not a book but a series. I used to devour these mini illustrated classics in elementary school. They turned me into a lifelong reader.

I like this chart, because it helps me remember that every cognitive bias is a good practice, misapplied or done too much.

Similarly, thought stopping may be similar to or involve the same things as disassociation, but done in limited ways in specific contexts.

we have early scribal copies of this oral transmission, and, knowing the techniques of oral performance, it's likely that bards, poets & orators would essentially 'localize' for the audience.
Thus the elements of daily life of Tatooine, Alderaan, or even Toprawa.

of course there's the recent find of a heavily annotated document, in a hand the researchers are calling F, where many phrases we think of as L innovations (like 'never tell me the odds') first originate.

do you think it was part of the L source or do you subscribe to the obviously discredited K redactor thesis?
