I have a wireless charger by my bed for charging overnight, it's easier to just plop my phone on the stand when half asleep rather than fumble with a cable. Also, charging speed doesn't matter because it's going to be plugged in for a few hours when I and it's easy to grab when my alarm goes off. But when I need a quick charge, then it's a fast charge cable all the way

Capitalism/greed, religion/racism & hate, selfishness/shortsightedness

It's a super religious state, something like 80% Christian, and a lot of those are the actual church going kind. It's the home of the Duggars (18 kids and counting) crazy baptist type sect of ultra conservative loons

The biggest positive from all this abusive/disrespectful behavior from trump is how united we have become as a country like never before Plus, the fact that we may actually avoid electing our shitty conservative/authoritarian version of trump

It could be in a sense of how much it is loved/discussed, and the fact that it is appointment tv like Lost was (which is not really a thing anymore making it even more impressive!). But Severance seems to me a much more consistent and well thought out show that is well planned/leading somewhere (not in circles like Lost did). Yellowjackets feels more like Lost to me, the seemingly aimlessness of some plots, the weird supernatural bits thrown in to confuse, the lack of answers. I also get the same feeling watching Yellowjackets that I did watching Lost near the end - hate watching just to see where the ridiculous story goes and if they can even have a satisfying ending. Severance feels like things happen for a reason, and they have the ending figured out but only time will tell

I usually give it a very light coating of olive oil so that it's gets extra crispy and the spices/seasonings stick, but I am sure you could do it without it, and it will still work

I love it in the air fryer, similar to baked broccoli, just a bit more crispy

Do you have any shooting/pulsing pain or numbness, or other symptoms, or just general pain in a specific area? If it is only general pain in one spot, I would try something like massage or physio, but if it has other it could be something to see a DR for if it's sticking around longer than a few days and doesn't feel better with heat or pain relievers

It's so hard to tell with how things are going these days sadly

Speaking as a Canadian, there is also some much arrogance and ignorance about things outside of your country that baffles my mind (not from all but from a large portion of the population). American exceptionalism and decades of really effective propaganda that has gotten increasingly more unhinged from reality and crumbling education system probably isn't helping either. (I don't mean that as an insult, every country has issues, and we were very good neighbors and allies until recently)

I watch a few different channels regularly. Here are a few of my favorites

Cecilia Blomdahl lives in the Arctic Circle/northern Norway and has lots of adventures and videos her day to day life in a really interesting way.

Also some Brits who have been renovating abandoned chateaus in France called Escape the Dream and a new one called Mucky Mansion are great escapism

Brain Pilot makes some good videos recapping a few shows i enjoy

I have a few classic youtubers I still watch from back in the day Safiya Nygard and Grace Helbig, for some beauty/crazy fashion/cooking stuff

If you want a sane political/comedy channel, Trae Crowder, the Liberal Redneck is fantastic. In that same vein, Some More News does fantastic deep dives in lots of political and social issues focused mostly on the US

Living big in a tiny house is really interesting seeing cool tiny homes around the world

Takis shelter is a channel from an amazing man who runs a sanctuary for animals in Crete and is a literal saint

Honestly, because you can find fun and different stuff we don't have here, see Trader Joe's and the many treasures you can get there. It's a cheap vacation, and at least in the past, you could get a lot for your money because stuff was much cheaper (not so much since covid and the last few years, though)
