I used the term ‘pursuant’ incorrectly for a long time. I thought it meant something like ‘things you do in order to achieve something’, like sweeping the floor is pursuant to getting the kitchen clean, vs the correct usage, which is either ‘in accordance with’, or ‘in a manner conformable to’. So a correct usage would be ‘sweeping the floor is pursuant to the procedure we set up to clean the kitchen’. Nice word, though. I like it.
Yeah, I usually use one for listening to news and podcasts in the morning. It’ll start with me in the bathroom, then follow me to the kitchen while I make coffee. It doesn’t live in the bathroom, but rather tag along with me. When showering I’ll hang it from a little hook up high. Sounds perfectly adequate for my purposes, though for listening to music as an activity unto itself I would choose a higher quality device.
When the sharing crackdown on Netflix was announced I decided to cancel it and set up a recurring donation in the same amount to a charity I believe in. It felt pretty great. I’m about to cancel Prime, but I need to switch credit cards, which is kind of a pain. Prime isn’t really worth it to me anymore. Otherwise I only pay for the ones that have active shows I’m watching. Haven’t sailed the high seas in decades, and probably won’t start. Missing TV has been great for my hobby productivity 😆
Who the heck would down vote this? This is perfect out of the loop content, and I appreciate the extra context people have posted, even though I knew the basics.
