And the temperature and sound changes too. Also it's pretty neat to be in a crowd for a moment of communal awe.

I had a vegetarian sausage that had a close-ish flavor recently. It might have been Beyond? The texture was surprisingly awful though. Far from inedible, but I'd expect all parts of the texture to be closer, especially the casing.

Microwaves still cook from the outside in, but yes, mostly only excite water.

I believe this came up in another ATK thing, but can't track it down at the moment.

The bag suspended from a stick is called a bindle was also real. I suspect these were just replaced by backpacks that were cheap/ubiquitous enough.

Do current versions typically get EOL announcements? I wouldn't expect it to make sense to announce EOL that early unless it's a product on some sort of cadenced release schedule

It sounds plausible? I haven't taken the effort to figure out how to like anchovies on pizza.

The one time I tried it the result was way too salty. I think I need to find someone local that likes them and copy their order.

Bacon or pepperoni. You need something salty do to do the job that ham fails to do.

Jalapenos are semi-optional. If they're too spicy for someone, then pepperoni might be the choice. There needs to be something spicy to complement the pineapple.

It doesn't look like a hardware issue. Yes, the less powerful hardware is what forced graphical changes, but it looks like an art direction problem.

The changes mostly fail to capture the essence of the original design. The characters look like they were ripped from the SIMs.

No one is expecting the same lighting, textures, or poly counts, but they do expect something that looks like Mortal Combat. That isn't an unreasonable expectation.

You're right that this may be a budgeting issue of sorts, but if they can't set aside enough resources to make it look like some sort of Mortal Combat game, then maybe they shouldn't have made the port.

I had heard books having titles on their spine is relatively recent. Partially due to books being stored like they are here, to prevent the pages from rotting. Allegedly titles started to be printed on spines with Alice in Wonderland, at least for mass-produced books.

I'm having trouble coming up with a source, Wikipedia mentions early books not having titles on the spine, but doesn't mention storage or when this practice changed. Or a source. That's as far as I was able to track any of this down.

All this to say, there might be prior precedent for this. Which for me moves her behavior (even if that's not her stated reason) towards eccentric, rather than book-hating.

At the start of the word it's an acute accent. Like in école or état.

I don't have quite the same issues, but I am fairly regularly running into issues where software on the other device is asking to play audio, and stealing focus. Make sure to mute unpredictable sources of sound (like Windows sounds or phone notifications).

Bluetooth devices and/or software implementations of audio are incredibly buggy.

Examples:

• Saying "OK Google" does this, and sometimes detects other sounds. I have to try to never say Google if I'm on Discord for example.

• Google Photos: the memories have audio, and will steal focus even if the audio is off.

• Spotify will sometimes get in a mode where it will constantly lose focus, even though nothing else appears to be demanding audio. When this is happening playback in other apps on my phone will continue to work as expected. This only appears to occur when my computer is on and connected to the headset via Bluetooth.

Other Bluetooth issues:

• Old games may not reliably play audio over Bluetooth. Fallout New Vegas would regularly get into a state where sound effects & voice wouldn't play, but the radio might continue. Plugging in speakers and using those for New Vegas worked, but introduced other buggy behavior.

• Calls may request exclusive access to the Bluetooth device. Like if you're on Discord, game audio may fail to play, rather than just playing in a degraded quality, or some other more graceful failover. This may be fixed, I've had it work at least once with other headphones, but haven't tested it further. I just have an external microphone now, and have disabled the "headset" functionality in Windows.

Multi-point may solve your issue, but be aware that what you're asking for may introduce a bunch of new problems. I still use Bluetooth headphones frequently, and in the way OP seems to want, but there are still significant growing pains, and I'm not sure I can recommend it.

Good note on mold. I considered saying black mold, and for whatever reason decided against it.
