There’s a huge long legged spider inside my house. It’s around 3" in size, but I’m sure it’s an indoor spider as it’s not that big of a body. I’m guessing it’s been around and that’s why I only see a fly in the house for around a day before they seem to disappear. I only see it around once in a while and other than an initial startle, it doesn’t bother me. Not having flies and other annoying things is well worth it if it means I only run into that spider once in a while.
Actually, the fMRI based lie-detector tests are far more accurate than the polygraph based ones. fMRI scans which parts of your brain are actually “thinking” so it’s possible to tell if you’re recalling a memory or composing a lie. Polygraphs can work against “normal” people but are not considered rigorous enough for the courts because measuring the stress response is highly subjective.
Remote voice acting is extremely common now – and most voice actors only need a decent microphone – any common everyday laptop is more than good enough And you might think they need to play off one another, but most voice talent is recorded individually – sometimes they don’t meet who they’re talking with until after the movie is released. All this is now typically done remotely – and yes, even small voice talent does it remotely because it’s not worth going to a studio and back.
Depends if you’re the Boomer kind who believes a butt in seat 8 hours a day or it’s not working, or believe that while less work is done now, you have a much happier employee who’s balancing work and family time and the whole “work to live” thing and not “live to work”.
I had the same problem – we had lunch at a rest stop on a road trip. Little did I know everyone retreated into the RV to eat and left me with my food and a bunch of wasps that decided to partake in the food. Thanks for not telling me.
I prefer value. Expensive food is fine, but it better be good to be worth it. I stopped eating at places when they raised prices and their food was no longer worth it. A $10 cinnamon roll is fine but it better be a really nice roll. Even so, I probably can’t get it more than once a month or so.
Insects are a great source of protein and have a very good conversion ratio (the amount of feed needed to produce a certain amount of nutrients). A lot of the “ick” can be removed because you often find fried grasshoppers at fairs and such – as always, deep frying is the solution. But you can also find things like flour made from insects (insect meal) which can be added either to use as a flour substitute (gluten free!), a thickener, a protein boost, an umami boost, and others.
I have a friend who makes a lot more money than me, and he gladly pays for our occasional (once a month or less) lunch. He always suggests places that are generally out of my budget – the places I suggest are much cheaper. So we go to the expensive places maybe 2-3 times over the year, and cheaper places the rest of the time. I don’t want to abuse his generosity. Heck, he used to constantly suggest an expensive place we both love, but I kept delaying our lunches so he wouldn’t be doing it more than once every couple of months (he wanted to do it monthly). I got a good thing going – I’m not going to abuse it.
