I stopped using sentences and mostly using keywords and routines that I created manually. Increased the experience significantly.

I don’t think it’s a „every task should be done through „-thing but rather increase the experience of what you have or make some things like setting a timer easier.

For example, I got a routine that turns off all lights I might have forgotten, turns on a playlist with calming music and sets a timer to stop the music.

Regulation of the brightness of your lamps. Dimming. Or color changing is a nice feature too and I know I would use it less if I would need to use a button on the wall. Also a routine that turns the lights on 20 minutes before it gets dark. With a fixed brightness is cool

It actually is on a wheelchair. You need at least one hand to manuever a chair and the other hand is likely needed to open doors and move obstacles. Trying to hold anything in your lap tends to end poorly as eventually you need to stop and your thighs are ill equipped to stop thongs from jerking forward when you do.

Everyone wants to bartend. Everyone wants to make drinks. Everyone wants to look cool and be creative…… 85% of tending bar is organizing and cleaning, and if you’re not at that number or higher, you’re probley not the funnest coworker. Fuck cleaning this machine, it can’t taste, it can’t ask if it’s balanced, it can’t mod specs based on guest preference, it’s useless.
