$500 sounds about right for weekly maid service. That means the base price of the robot not including subscription fees, power, repairs, etc. would get you ~3 years of maid service. If the subscription is an extra $500/mo, that's more than 6 years of maid service.

If your maid service goes out of business, you just find a new one. What are the odds this company will still be around in 3 years? 6 years? Not a wager I'd be willing to make.

It's melted chocolate but if you use cheap chocolate that's low in cocoa butter, you have to add oil, otherwise it gums up the fountain.

I got to 17. I can add some (mostly) lesser Goa'uld to the list:

  1. Klorel
  2. Zipacna
  3. Tanith
  4. Camulus
  5. Sokar
  6. Anubis
  7. Nerus
  8. Bastet
  9. Imhotep

I forgot some I should've remembered like Amaunet.

I know several certified cheese professionals (believe it or not, that is an actual thing) and when they run events, they generally give the cheese 30-60 minutes to come to room temperature before serving it.

If it makes you happy, go for it. If it doesn't, skip it.

When I graduated from College, my family appreciated the pomp and circumstance. I won an academic award and my parents were very proud, so I was happy to go along with things. It was an hour or so and it wasn't any kind of burden. Sometimes it's important to do things for other people.

When I got married, my wife and I were already well established, so it was a break-even affair and people appreciated the party. We come from different traditions, so we picked the parts we liked and discarded the rest. Nobody left unhappy.

on Is this a jumping spider? · c/spiders · 4 pts · 67d

Jumping spiders are clever and curious. Some people keep them as pets. I've read lots of anecdotes about them being able to recognize individual humans but I don't know if there have ever been scientific studies on it.

In the park the other day, there was a tiny jumping spider on the picnic table that was very interested in exploring my arm. I let it run around for a bit but I put it back on the table after a few minutes because I was worried I was going to crush it accidentally.
