  • I had the perfect roommate, he had night shifts, he’d do 00:00 to 09:00. He would come home around 10:00 and sleep toll 18:00 and then we’d enjoy our evening together. I’d go to bed and he’d go to work. He’d been doing this for 6 years at that point and it suited him fine and he was healthy as a horse.

    I think the thing that worked for him was treating even the weekends like weekday and he’d sleep through most of his Saturday/Sunday daylight.

    I think they explained it, the reason they could afford it was because Monica’s grandmother lived there, and they’ve been paying 1950s rent because of rent control or something. Something similar for phoebe as well. Anyway show never explains how joey/chandler/Ross can afford those big houses.







  • I don’t know if UK ever had the gaming cafes but they’re still common in east, if you can’t afford console/game, it made so much sense to go to gaming cafe, meet your friends there and you can play from library of hundreds of games without having to pay for games themselves.

    I know it’s still more expensive than buying hardware and games long term, but at least that way you don’t lease console and then pay for games as well, and invest in controllers, good headphones etc etc.

    You get all round package.










  • Before having wireless earphones I had habit off putting keys with wallet and phone on its own, but since I switched to wireless earbuds they don’t fit with large ass phones, so I have to put them with wallet. I already broke one case of earbuds pulling out keys from the pocket that had everything. I switched to keeping my phone and keys in the same pocket.

    I’ve been doing that for almost a decade now and I don’t see the value proposition of folding phones yet where I can justify changing my habits again and taking care of yet another tool in my life.

    Maybe one day if they had full computer with root privileges in my pocket, I’d consider changing my habits to carry that and make sure it is taken care of.
