Salutations.

It is now 9:56PM EST for me.

To my recollection, and I could be wrong, I think this is the latest that I have ever started typing in this blog.

As I said in the previous list, I wanted to buy a thermos to put coffee in and drink at home. This is my 1st Amazon.com thermos purchase:

Thermos, ICON Series, Stainless Steel Beverage Bottle, Granite, 40 oz

It’s about $40 with Prime shipping available.

I would present it to someone in the restaurant and request that it be filled. I’ve done this for a few days now with the same woman employee. I would order black coffee with 3 sugars. Since it’s a 40 oz thermos, that’s about 3 large coffees. That’s what they charge me. When I drink the black coffee at home, the 1st time I drank it, I felt really good. For me, the size of the thermos is what I am looking for, since I am only planning to drink the coffee at home. It has a cup on the outside, to pour the hot coffee into, but for now, I’m only purchasing the coffee on my way to where I live. Right now, I purchased the coffee this past morning. 1 cup of coffee poured out would be a black coffee with about 3 sugars in it. I plan to drink it later. I’ll take a break later and drink some of it then.

If you choose to, Amazon.com has illustrations of the thermos that I purchased. In my opinion, it’s a big thermos, but it fits in my backpack easily. If you are thinking of purchasing a thermos to put food into, this is a great thermos to put soup in, but it’s a 40 oz thermos. That’s a lot of food! In my opinion, I already feel more awake to type in this blog, knowing that 3 large black coffees with 3 sugars for each coffee is waiting for me to drink them. I use the microwave to make the coffee hotter for me to drink.

I know that it’s possible to purchase cups of coffee, and the restaurant may have available a tray to place the cups in. However, if you use a thermos, like a 40 oz thermos, a restaurant employee just has to fill it up, and you can just place that thermos in your backpack, without needing to commit any of your hands to hold those coffees.

Just a few minutes ago, I drank a little of that coffee, and it’s still warm, even though I purchased the coffee this past morning. I had a little difficulty turning the lid, so I used a lid opener. Here’s 2 types of lid openers from Amazon.com if you don’t have one:

Super Z Outlet 12 Pack Multi-Purpose Manual Jar Gripper Pad Rounds, Bottle Openers, Blue/Green/Red/Yellow

Progressive International Prepworks Jar Grips Multi-Purpose Lid Openers, Set of 3

I haven’t recently checked to see if Amazon.com has better lid openers, but those are the ones that I purchased in the past. They’re both under $10 each. I like the 1st one because you get 12 of them for under $8 dollars. So, if the lid from your thermos seems difficult to open, just use a rubber lid opener.

I plan to offer you 2 ideas in this list. The 1st idea I will type in has a certain sad fundamental truth in it, used in a context that I believe should be very useful to you. I will offer 3 illustration ideas to improve it’s chances of being useful to you. Hopefully, if I have time, I will be able to explain the 2nd idea to you. I have other ideas in mind, but I don’t think I have time to explain them in this list. Even if I did not start late, I still won’t have enough time to explain those other ideas. Something to look forward to in future lists, I suppose.

I am going to take a short break, and after that, I’m going to look for a music video and trailer to recommend to you for this list. That should take less than 2 hours, and then I’ll start typing again. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

It is now 11:11PM EST for me.

Here is what I am going to try to do. Since I want both ideas to be in this list, I will type in the 1st idea before I do my laundry, and after I come back from the laundromat and arrange my clothes, then soon after that, I will explain the 2nd idea. I don’t think I have ever done that before, but since I believe that both ideas should be in this list, and I did start very late, I’ll try to do that. After all, I only type ideas in once a week, and every time I am only able to explain one idea, that’s a setback, even though I haven’t created a liability or an unrequited aspiring for that setback. It’s not a setback, but still I should at least try a little more harder to give you more information, since I only type in ideas once a week.

I’m going to look for that music video and trailer now. I’ll probably start typing again in an hour and a half. If you are there, I’ll see you then.

It is now 12:53AM EST for me.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time less than 2 hours ago and recommend for this advice is called ‘SOS’ by FIFTY FIFTY. Here’s a quick quote from wikipedia.org about the group:

Fifty Fifty (Korean: 피프티 피프티; RR: Pipeuti Pipeuti; stylized in all caps) are a South Korean girl group formed by Attrakt in 2022.

The group’s name, Fifty Fifty, indicates the coexistence, in equal parts, of a hope-filled ideal and a harsh reality, as well as their hope to become a whole 100 with their fans.

Here’s a quote from a review from link femmusic.com about the song:

‘ The message of love continues on “SOS,” but this time, about self-love. It reminds us to listen for our own distress calls too. FIFTY FIFTY explains further, “’SOS’ marks the return of Adam Von Mentzer, who produced our hit track ‘CUPID,’ and continues the tradition of Swedish pop sensibilities started by ABBA. This song encourages us to listen to our inner voices during times of exhaustion and difficulty. In a world where we often consume others’ stories and measure ourselves by external standards, ‘SOS’ reminds us to heed our own ‘S.O.S’ calls, valuing and loving ourselves. ‘

And here is a quote from the song:

S-O-S, I’m calling
Message heard deep within my heart
Can you hear my S-O-S? Oh, darling
Open your ears to the truth in you, unmute

I found it by selecting publisher ‘InMusic Official’ from www.youtube.com, select ‘Videos’, then select ‘New Songs Of The Week (September 20, 2024) | New Music Friday’ published 10 days ago. A video clip from music video ‘SOS’ starts 2 minutes and 58 seconds into the video clip collection.

To watch the music video, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘fifty fifty sos’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 13M views. It was published 11 days ago by publisher ‘FIFTY FIFTY Official’.

In my opinion, I like the review’s presented meaning of the song, the music video’s special effects use is interesting, and there’s a lot of synchronized dancing with the singers. I want to point out the 2 scenes where you see what looks like to me to be a yellow duck. The 1st scene starts 1 minute and 14 seconds, and only lasts less than 3 seconds. The 2nd scene starts 2 minutes and 57 seconds into the music video, and it also lasts about 3 seconds.(I thought by memory the 2nd scene with the duck would also be yellow, but looking at it again it looks white.)

The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time less than 2 hours ago and recommend, refurbished with inapproprieities removed, is called ‘Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts*’. Here is a quote from wikipedia.org about it:

‘ Thunderbolts* is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics team Thunderbolts. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures…

Premise
A group of antiheroes goes on missions for the American government.

Filming

Louis-Dreyfus, who wrapped filming her scenes by early June,[80][81] believed Marvel Studios was trying to “go back to their roots” with the film, focusing on “the human story” with multiple stunt sequences and avoiding CGI when possible. ‘

So, if you like watching Marvel movies, like the ones with Thor and Doctor Strange as main characters, than here’s another Marvel movie. I found it by selecting publisher ‘TrailerSpot’ from www.youtube.com, select ‘Videos’, then select ‘NEW MOVIE TRAILERS 2024 & 2025 | Weekly #39 | 4K ULTRA HD’, published 1 day ago. The trailer starts about 20 minutes and 54 seconds into that video trailer collection.

In my opinion, I’m using what Louis-Dreyfus said, that Marvel Studios was trying to “go back to their roots” with the film, focusing on “the human story” with multiple stunt sequences and avoiding CGI when possible.

It is now 1:25AM EST for me.

I am going to rest a little on my bed, drink some of that thermos coffee I bought from a restaurant, and then I’ll start typing again, let’s say in 10 or so minutes.

It is now 2:27AM EST for me.

What I will do is stop typing around 4:00AM, and then I will continue explaining the idea after I do my laundry, after my clean clothes are arranged. Maybe that will be around 9:30AM later today.

Before I tell you what the idea actually is, I want to explain 2 of the illustration ideas 1st, a brief synopsis. There is some difficulty using one of them, and I want to get that out of the way. 2 of the illustrations involve a watch as it’s highlight, making it, in my opinion, more effective an advice, based on how it’s presented. The 1st illustration reference is from a tv series that uses ‘black comedy’. According to wikipedia.org:

‘ Black comedy, also known as black humor, bleak comedy, dark comedy, dark humor, gallows humor or morbid humor, is a style of comedy that makes light of subject matter that is generally considered taboo, particularly subjects that are normally considered serious or painful to discuss. Writers and comedians often use it as a tool for exploring vulgar issues by provoking discomfort, serious thought, and amusement for their audience. ‘

Here’s my concern about the tv series: 1st, I want to say something about myself, since I’m not too forthwith about what I do in this blog. I took Latin when I was in school. I believe that, if you take the language Latin, that may encourage you to read more about Greek and Roman mythology. Well, that’s what I did, and that’s why I think the tv series ‘Kaos(2024)’ starring Jeff Goldblum as Zeus may cause you some distress. It uses black comedy. When I watched that tv series, and I skipped over some of the storylines, I still found the tv show entertaining because it did provide to me an entertaining interpretation of Greek and Roman mythology. I’m only recommending that you watch only one scene for this advice. However, there is always that possibility for many of you, that you may choose to watch more than one scene. If you do, keep in mind that it uses black comedy, and that tv shows and movies in general are made for entertainment purposes to begin with. You don’t have to use what you see when you watch them. You don’t have to give them any credence. So, if you see something in the tv series that bothers you, keep in mind that you don’t have to use it.

According to wikipedia.org:

‘ The series was released on Netflix on 29 August 2024. ‘

Since I invented this idea using a scene in that tv series, the idea that I invented is at most about a month old. It’s a relatively new idea.

Not make available: Not provide:

Here’s 2 definitions for the word ‘provide’ from www.dictionary.com that I’m using for ideas ‘Not make available’ and ‘Not provide’:

to make available; furnish:
to provide employees with various benefits.

to supply or equip:
to provide the army with new fighter planes.

Idea ‘Not make available’ is from the understanding idea ‘Not make’ using variation ‘available’, giving the idea the name ‘Not make available’. For this idea, I’m only explaining variation ‘Available’ that goes with understanding idea ‘Not make’. Idea ‘Not provide’ is the same idea, but you may want to contemplationally also say ‘Not provide’, and not just contemplationally say ‘Not make available’, when using this idea.

It is my belief that if experienced instigation did not bother people so much, then it wouldn’t be so manipulative. When you experience an instigation identified by idea ‘Not make available’ and ‘Not provide’, it can cause you to feel the inclination to not make available certain things to the instigator that caused you to experience the instigation, to not provide certain things to that person. I will provide more of an explanation as I also explain it’s illustration examples.

It is now 3:02AM EST for me.

I see what could be happening.

I realize that you are not clones of me, that you don’t automatically have my sense of understanding. I’m only recommending that one scene from the tv series ‘Kaos’, but if you choose to watch more of it, and you see something that bothers you, part of the basic definition for idea ‘Not agree to address or discuss anything’ is that you also choose to not resolve that which you choose to not agree to address or discuss for whatever reasons. For example, when you are taking a test in school, you obviously need your focus to take that test, and that other forms of contemplations that are not relevant are ‘put to the side’ temporarily in order to have the focus to take that test. One possible aspect of using idea ‘Not agree to address or discuss anything’ is that you are choosing to not address or discuss certain notions and/or contemplations, especially if such notions and contemplations have aspects of resolvings that you may want to give a certain committed resolving to, like a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. If you choose to not address and/or discuss such notions and contemplations, even though they may have resolvings that encourage you to give it a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ commitment, idea ‘Not agree to address or discuss anything’ helps you to not address even such resolvings. You’re not even giving such resolvings a ‘Yes’ or a ‘No’ answer. So, if you see something in the tv show ‘Kaos’ that encourages you to give a ‘Yes’ or a ‘No’ answer to a certain resolving identity, you can choose instead to not address or discuss it to yourself. You don’t have to resolve it. Just choose to not address or discuss it to yourself. You don’t have to give it a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer, you don’t have to use it. It’s there, but you don’t have to use it, you don’t have to resolve it. Let sleeping dogs lie, so to speak. You can even contemplationally edit the parts in the tv series that bother you, like what people used to do with certain programming years ago, they would get someone to ‘edit out’ what they don’t want to watch in advance.(It’s a belief. I saw an example of that in the movie ‘Big’ starring Tom Hanks.)

Oh yeah, I just remembered. I subscribed to Netflix Premium to watch music videos without commercials, and I also subscribe to an Amazon.com service that also says that certain commercials would be removed from the streaming program that I am watching, so the paid editing process is real. Anyway, ‘Not agree to address or discuss anything’ should be helpful by intent to not use what may be bothering you from certain tv shows and movies that you may have watched.

The scene is in Episode #1.4 from sci-fi tv series ‘Kaos(2024)’. Here’s a partial quote from www.imdb.com about the episode:

‘ The search for Zeus’ missing watch turns deadly. ‘

The episode is available streaming on the Netflix streaming service, and according to Netflix, that scene starts about 43 minutes into the episode, Zeus(Jeff Goldblum) and his son Dionysus(Nabhaan Rizwan). Here is the quote:

Zeus: ‘The first thing that I want to tell you is… Thank you.’

Dionysus: ‘Thank… thank me?’

Zeus: ‘Thank you, Dionysus, because you found my watch. And you brought it back to me, even though, when last we met, I was hard on you.’

From the perspective of Zeus refurbished for advice, even though he was hard on his son Dionysus, he still chose to give his father his watch back. That is an example of a person experiencing an instigation identified by idea ‘Not make available’ and ‘Not provide’. Even though his father was ‘hard on him'(of course, ‘hard on him’ that is acceptable for you to think about), and that experience caused him to feel like he should not provide his father certain things, he(Dionysus) was still able to give to his father his watch that he found.

Here’s an illustration example that I imagined for myself that may be useful to you. Not where I work, but in another job, an employee that I work with, a single, available woman that I find attractive, and I am a single man, she chooses to say this to me:

Woman employee: ‘Even though I was hard on you, I am impressed that you gave me my watch.’

If you choose to, you can refurbish that statement to make acceptable variations to you that involve kids, teenagers, adults, schools of thought, individually. In relation to advice said, it’s up to you.

It is now 3:38AM EST for me.

I am going to stop typing now to later prepare to go to the laundromat this morning. Some time after I come back from the laundromat and arrange my washed and dried clothes, let’s say about 10:00AM later today, I will finish idea ‘Not make available’ and ‘Not provide’, and then also explain the 2nd idea. So, if you are there later today, I’ll see you then.

It is now 10:14AM EST for me.

The 2nd watch story is from the movie ‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E.(2015)’ starring Armie Hammer as Illya, and Henry Cavill as Solo. Here’s a short quote from wikipedia.org about Illya Kuryakin:

‘ Hammer portrays Kuryakin as a short-tempered, violent and volatile (the end credits state he has “Volatile personality disorder”) KGB assassin…

Kuryakin was the youngest man to ever join the KGB Special Forces… ‘

And here is a quote about Napoleon Solo from wikipedia:

‘ This version of Solo is a former World War II soldier from an extremely wealthy family. He remained in Europe after the war, discovering that he could profit greatly from it as a specialist in classical art and architecture, becoming an unequalled art thief. He was eventually caught and prosecuted for his crimes and given a fifteen-year prison sentence. Solo doesn’t spend any time in prison, however, as he is recruited by the CIA in exchange for his physical freedom. ‘

It’s been years since I watched the movie ‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E.(2015)’, it’s not that long ago, but since I feel tired, I’ll just explain the idea, and use the streaming version from Amazon.com that I just purchased less than a minute ago to reference 3 illustration examples that my explanation will address.

The 1st illustration is when Illya is explaining to Solo about his father’s/grandfather’s watch, how important it is to him. The 2nd illustration is when, based on my interpretation, Illya leaves his father’s? watch where Solo can find it. They both know that, if they complete the mission, their respective governments will order them to disband/separate/no longer continue to be a group. If Solo returns the watch to Illya, that will help Illya continue to work with Solo and Gaby(Alicia Vikander). In the 3rd illustration, Solo returns the watch to Illya, reassuring Illya that the team should remain together.

If all 3 choose to remain together as a team, they will disobey direct orders from their governments telling them to disband, to no longer work together as a team. Disobeying direct orders, in a way refurbished, represents ‘not providing’ their governments a compliance to disband, to no longer work together as a team. Using the watch scene from the tv series ‘Kaos’, and you have 2 illustration examples involving a watch that illustrates idea ‘Not make available’ and ‘Not provide’.

It is now 10:58AM EST for me.

It took some clicking using my laptop on the streaming version of the movie, since Amazon.com didn’t show a small preview box when I would search for the scene, but I found the 3 illustrations.

31 minutes and 34 seconds into the movie:

Illya: ‘That man stole my father’s watch.’

1 hour, 31 minutes, and 43 seconds into the movie:

Solo: (Solo finds Illya’s watch.)

1 hour, 47 minutes, and 49 seconds into the movie:

Solo: ‘Almost forgot.’

Solo: ‘Got something for you.’

Solo tosses/gives Illya’s watch to him, assuring Illya that they should continue to work as a team, even if it means disobeying direct orders from their respective governments.

The explanation I originally gave was how I remembered it, even though, obviously, the movie says otherwise. I recommend that you just refurbish the movie to allow my explanation to work. You can also use what the movie showed. It’s your idea if you choose to take it.

It is now 11:16AM EST for me.

I’m going to close this list now. No 3rd illustration reference. No 2nd idea. Next time, I’ll just try to start making the list at a more reasonable time. This coming Monday, 10/7/2024, I will explain more strategy ideas, unless I change my mind again. And based on past performance, I’ll probably make more ideas until then. So, if you are there this coming Monday, I’ll see you then.

At least I was able to explain the 2 watch references.
