Plastic models, specifically Gunpla. I like working with my hands and the feeling of satisfaction of building up a kit from just pieces. I also find it kinda funny that a hobby that revolves around working at a desk by yourself has led me to multiple communities, a new friend group, and even has me traveling around some for model shows.

Ah yes, Xarx-Zero, pronounced "Alex-Zero", with the Zero Gundam. Not to be confused with:

-0 Gundam (pronounced oh)

-00 Gundam

-The O

-Wing Gundam Zero

-Gundam Alex

And this is part of the RG Project, not to be confused with RG (Real Grade) model kits! My guess is the designers were discussing over beers how confusing they could make the naming scheme and still have the execs sign off on it.

Mostly speculation on my part and remembering conversations from decades ago, but at least in the US among men, anything touching your butthole = gay. Using a bidet is something those effeminate Europeans use and not something for manly Americans. These same men think that actually cleaning your butthole in the shower is also gay. Fortunately this mainly seems to be a mindset that older generations hang onto, as I talk to younger folks (Millennial and younger), they seem to be much more open to bidet usage. I have one installed at home and I don't feel clean if I have to do my business somewhere without one.

They make bidet attachments for existing toilets. It gets installed underneath the lid and the sprayer sits at the back of the bowl.

Depends on the model. Some only hook into the cold water line, where others can hook into both. A cold jet of water on your butt is a hell of a way to wake up in the morning.

Chrome was initially a lightweight and fast browser, since Firefox and IE were bloated to hell. From what I understand, their aim was to make browsing faster so people could run more searches and they could make money that way. The same went for their ISP project. Higher bandwidth meant more searches/browsing and more ads being served.

Depends on where you live. Also, if you're importing from another country, you may have to pay import duties and tariffs, not to mention shipping. This may end up costing more than the domestic price for said item.

It's more difficult for people to address you if they don't know your name. If someone sees you again after your first meeting, do you want them to come up and say "Hey... you! What's up?"

I'm kinda the opposite of you. I'm American and grew up with peanut butter. I didn't try Nutella until my 20s, and while it was ok, I didn't think it was nearly as good as what people made it out to be.

While I don't have peanut butter often nowadays, it's still one of my favorite things when added to sweets, like peanut butter cups or peanut butter fudge. Peanut butter + chocolate is a heavenly combo.
