Glorious whiskers!

I prefer translators too. Reading materials from different languages (including English) gave me a different insight.

Still using a 6.5 years old iPhone 7. Can't fine a downside, still runs perfectly well. The only thing that needed a replacement is its battery. I hope it holds for another 4.5 years (with battery replacements).

My area also has high humidity, 12°C is indeed freezing. We add lots of layers...

Actually no. When it's that hot, I leave it on from afternoon / evening till before sleep. It was a couple of hours.

When it's 40℃ outside, I set my AC to around 30 too.

To save energy, I set my AC at 28℃ in the summer, for a couple of hours in the afternoon. In the winter if my room temperature wasn't below 8℃ I don't use heating. Otherwise I set it to 12℃.

Apparently I don't understand the very energy consuming 20℃ summers/winters.

It's not enforced by my schools, but when I was little, speaking local languages at school was forbidden. It's getting better now, but at that time, only the official language was allowed.

Another rule was boys weren't allowed to wear longer hairs. If the hairline was below the ears, they would be asked to cut it shorter. From time to time, boys from my class were forced to cut their hair during classes with the company of a teacher.

Always humid heat, days above 35 degrees have increased a lot. Have to use an AC all summer long... Prayers to those who have to work outside.

I use medical petroleum jelly on my carbon steel stuffs to prevent them from rust. I think it works better than WD40, and I don't have to protect my hands while applying it.

And sometimes I mix it with bee wax as wood oil. I think it works.

I'm fine with voice command if it can be done locally. The only pipe dream is that some day, maybe some of them will support my near extinct native language. So I don't have to speak foreign languages at home.

Almost all smart things, except a smartphone, which sadly I can't avoid. Maybe I just don't want to be connected 24/7.
