Yep, exactly. The distinction among:

• “I’m Neil”
• “Call me Neil”
• “My name is Neil”

For most cases they are equivalent.

Or “Hi, call me Neil” or “You - you get to call me Neil”.

This, although I wish my town still had a local bakery and a hardware store.

Grocery store, brewery, meadery, winery, restaurants, cafes, game stores (video- and board-), book stores… any time I can I’ll shop the small store.

The biggest thing I’ve learned though is that some stores are shitty places or run by shitty people even if they are small.

Cool, not ones I’ve heard of. Definitely been there in the “deep in rules figuring-out, fuck this not tonight” before (that was for Ruhr which I have since come to adore)

What game?

You nailed this perfectly.

That’s been the opposite of my ADHD experience.

Board game rules are almost always exceptionally clear and unambiguous. For me they are a dream, and I love being the rules guy in my game group.

I wish more instructions in different fields were so clear.

There are some games for which it works, others for which it does not.

Because it’s cheap to produce, or at least the cost is externalized away from them.

Right here.

to explain me some things that I didn’t understand and it’s been impressive

So now you still don’t understand them but now you are confidently incorrect because an LLM made up some bullshit.

Seriously, ask it about a topic you do understand and see how wrong it is. Then realize it’s at least as wrong about everything else.

Metal makes clicking/popping noises as it cools and shrinks. Commonly heard after you turn off an ICE engine.

The surface is loose stones, it’ll shred a road bike tyre. No cyclist was consulted when they chose the surface type.

What is this even talking about? Road tires work just fine on gravel, it’s not like they surfaced it with broken glass.

Does “loose stones” mean something very different than “gravel”?

Onetwothree! See, it’s fine!

If that were true there should be only two lanes per direction, and no use to the third lane.

Here you forgot some of these: - -

Looks like a standard IEC C8 plug. That would make it standard mains AC.

Because reissues of old games are overpriced.

The example given is Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 for $100

I found some articles which quoted release pricing at $70 and questioning that being a reasonable price, so $100 may be beyond the pale.

Edit: CA vs US explains the displayed price difference.

Ah a USB card. Yeah those were/are a thing.
