  • I’ll second Vincent’s suggestion. One person proposes three choices, the other either picks one or counters with three new choices. I also recommend having something on hand that takes zero preparation. For us that’s usually some charcuterie, tuna with crackers, or a leftover dish that can be served cold.

    The biggest “bloat” issue for me was going from pixel to Samsung. I was able to configure apps and launchers the way I liked just fine, but the Samsung specific version of all the main apps (internet browser, calculator, etc.) was unexpected. There are plenty of Google bloat apps that I have to disable on a new pixel, though.






  • Macrofactor is an excellent nutrition tracking app. You track your weight and your intake, set a weight goal (gain, lose, or maintain) and a goal rate of weight change, and it sets your calorie targets from there. The app isn’t free, but there is a free trial period as well as a few different payment options.

    I quit using it over the holidays due to too many outings and events, but I’ll be getting back to it next week. I highly recommend checking it out.



  • Two great examples to illustrate this point:

    I’m thinking of ending things (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/im_thinking_of_ending_things), 82% critic score, 49% audience score. This movie takes “it makes you think” to a whole new dimension. It’s two hours and fourteen minutes of melancholic confusion, wondering if you missed something important, then it’s over without ever really resolving anything. You’re on your own to connect the dots and make sense of the movie, or more likely you’ll have to do additional research to figure out what the plot actually was. I don’t regret watching it, but I also can’t recommend it.

    Red Notice (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/red_notice), 39% critic score, 92% audience score. Bland, forgettable plot with cool effects. Explosions, The Rock, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds. A fun, enjoyable movie to stream on a weeknight, but not something I would have paid to see in theaters.
