Do they somehow cost more than 2-3 days worth of pay where you live?

Also, I understand that being poor can be very expensive. If you're on this end of the financial spectrum, there are often programs and discounts that can help, especially if you talk to the pharmacist (where I have gone before to get cheap flu shots when I didn't have insurance).

I'm not the person you asked, but I do have answers.

I have a French press, so I often use that. The preparation is exactly the same as a hot press except for the time and temperature; same grind, same proportions of water to coffee. Just mix the coffee and cool water and wait to plunge for several hours. It would usually be something I'd prepare the night before, leave on the counter, then plunge and pour in the morning.

You can do the same thing with larger volumes/masses of coffee and water using a mesh bag and a pitcher. Same process just more. Also avoid squeezing the bag too much, but do let the coffee run out as you remove the bag containing the coffee from the pitcher.

I know I've seen this before. This appears to be an AI generated version of a very similar image posted in January of 2023 on Reddit, Facebook, and probably others. I used a combination of Google image search and tineye.com to figure this out. This apparently AI version makes the woman skinnier, removes her sleeves, declutters the background, and adds a black clutch. The history of this meme was tricky to search for because it has blown up in popularity recently (on Instagram, Xitter, Reddit, even YouTube) and Reddit's history is full of deleted posts.

Any sort of digital release? How exactly does one play a computer game that has not had any sort of digital release? Are you expecting to scan your game's binary files and assets from microfilm? Maybe your actually just looking for some TTRPG? There were some VHS games once upon a time, maybe that's what you're after?

That's a great word!

This should be obvious. It's the reasons for the renaming, not the renaming itself.

Because famously only US citizens keep pets.

As batman movies go they're pretty boring. It's a dark and gritty hero, fighting dark and gritty villains, in a boring gritty city, with boring citizens. Their not bad movies. They were clearly made by clever talented people, good at what they do. But the result lacks any real contrast, just black on black on black on black. I'll rewatch any other batman movie at the drop of a hat, no questions asked. I know I'll be entertained. But I'm totally uninterested in rewatching the Nolan Batman movies.

Those "repeated certain melodies across the movie" have a name. It's called a theme and is something that's pretty common in movies, opera, musicals, symphonies, etc. An entire work can have a theme that is modified, built upon, expanded or changed as the narrative progresses. Individual characters or places can have their own unique themes. Daft Punk's entire style is built on repetition, so it should be no surprise that their musical score work would highlight that.

Unless they are trying to sell you beans (or Dean's), it's not spam.

Good question. Also, given the way AI tools are creeping into everything, can we really declare that any modern Photoshop are truly free of AI?

Everybody is just trying to look cool. Everybody probably looks like a "poser" to someone else. And in a cruel twist of irony, the inventors and early adopters of some "cool" new thing, look derivative and boring years AFTER everyone else has done it. Kids don't have a long memory for these kinds of things; they grew up in a world where it was already old news and boring, never having experienced a world without it. This shift in perception can happen sometimes even among people old enough to have been there at the beginning. So yeah, they are just a bunch of posers trying to look cool, but aren't we all?
