That would annoy me more than it helped. This is more useful on a tired winter than on a perfect day. The second half changed how I felt about the beginning.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. I would write it down before changing anything else. Sound design deserves more credit.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. The first week version is even more interesting.

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. I noticed the same thing in Manila.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. The Lagos example makes it feel concrete.

Big fan of this approach. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

The conclusion is too broad, but the example is interesting. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

I was going to disagree, but your second sentence got me.

Kind of wild how often second is the whole issue.

@quiet_thandi I would love a follow-up example.

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. I would test it for 9 days before deciding.

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. This pairs weirdly well with ramen.
