Salutations.

It is now 8:31PM EST for me.

It looks like I’m starting to get ‘back on track’ with my chosen keying schedule. I don’t want to be late again, like I was in the last list.

Are any of you using an Ethernet connection for your computer? When I would connect my Ethernet adapter and cord to my computer and Ethernet router, sometimes it would not work. The solution for me would be to restart the 2 modems I am renting. I am using both phone and internet. I just learned as I was rebooting the router, that all I had to do was restart the router that was connected to my computer, not both the router and the internet router. I was unplugging and plugging/restarting both routers, when all I had to do was restart/unplug and replug the router that was actually connected to my computer. That router doesn’t take that much time at all to restart, whereas the phone router takes several minutes to restart. By just restarting the router that is actually connected to my computer, that saves me time. I thought that, if you also are using Ethernet, and you have a similar situation, that just restarting the router that is actually connected to your computer would also save you time, assuming you were restarting both the phone modem and the router, if that is the set-up that you are using.

I also now use a piece of tape to keep the USB-C to Ethernet Adapter connected to my extension cord. It doesn’t ‘snap on’, it just connects, and it easily separates. A piece of tape keeps them together.

If you use an Iphone, for my Iphone 12 mini, and I want to purchase another phone, but I haven’t gotten to that yet, I purchased another connecter to use to recharge the phone, and it has no glitches:

Anker Powerline II 3-in-1 Cable, Lightning/Type C/Micro USB Cable for iPhone, iPad, Huawei, HTC, LG, Samsung Galaxy, Sony Xperia, Android Smartphones, iPad Pro 2018 and More(3ft, Black)

—

I purchased it from Amazon.com for about $14 with Prime shipping.

For a while, I had charging problems with my Iphone 12 mini. I was going to buy a new phone, I still am, but I eventually found a link from www.youtube.com that explained the problem very well. Here is the link:

Phone Not Charging. Expert’s Simple Tip To Fix It!

The publisher is ‘Top DIY’, (the DIY stands for ‘do it yourself’), and it was published 2 months ago with 610K views. Instead of using it’s recommendation exactly, I just used a plastic toothpick. I owned this one small box of plastic toothpicks for years. Since they’re plastic, I would just clean it and re-use it. It’s also being sold in Amazon.com:

Rotadent Rota-Point Interdental Cleaners NEW Larger 30ct pack

—

It’s about $7 for a box of 30 plastic toothipicks.

Since it had a thick, plastic tip, I chose to use it to clean the Iphone’s charging port. I was surprised that there actually was some link/dirt in that port. After I removed some of it, I was able to better charge my Iphone12 mini. It still had some charging issues, but when I used the new Anker Powerline II 3-in-1 Cable, Lightning/Type C/Micro USB Cable, it now charges without any problems. This cable doesn’t seem to have any water exposed connection problems.

—

I don’t have any other Amazon.com purchases to recommend right now.

Even though I made a few? more new ideas, I am going to start explaining idea ‘186’ in this list. This is how I’ll start: I will explain idea ‘Be ready’, which is part of idea ‘186’, in this list. Idea ‘Be ready’ by intent will help you use idea ‘186’. For example, it is a part of idea ‘186’, but I think it would be better to explain it 1st, instead of explaining it while explaining idea ‘186’. It is now one of my ‘new’ ideas that I am very eager to explain. It’s actually part of idea ‘186’.

Earlier, I purchased chinese food. I ate some of it, and I saved some for later.

From now on, I want to start preparing my laundry at about midnight for the laundromat. That should give me some extra time to go to the supermarket later to buy groceries and any other incidentals. If I don’t finish typing this idea before midnight tonight, I will continue typing at about 7:00PM EST tomorrow night. So, for now on, the goal for me to start typing would be around 6:00PM EST Monday nights.

I am going to take a break and look for a music video and trailer for this list. That should take about 2 hours. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

—

It is now 10:42PM EST for me.

Instead of finding a music video and trailer, I am going to extend my break. A few hours ago, I purchased from Amazon.com the streaming movie ‘Cleaner(2025)’ starring Daisy Ridley as Joey, and I am going to watch it. It’s not a recommendation, it’s just personal recreation. I’ll start again probably around 7:00PM EST tomorrow. If I start on time, I should finish idea ‘Be ready’. So, if you are there tomorrow, I’ll see you then.

—

It is now 7:54PM EST for me.

I am going to look for a music video and trailer for this list. That should take about an hour and a half. So, if you are there when I start typing again, I’ll see you then.

—

It is now 10:29PM EST for me.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time within a few hours ago and recommend for this list is called “The Feels” by TWICE. Here’s a short quote from wikipedia about them:

‘ Twice, commonly stylized in all caps) is a South Korean girl group formed by JYP Entertainment. ‘

I couldn’t find a music video from the usual youtube links, so I looked for a music video from the group that made ‘POP!’. That eventually led me to select from www.youtube.com publisher ‘JYP Entertainment’. I selected that publisher, then ‘Videos’, then ‘Popular’, and that’s where I eventually selected the music video “The Feels”.

Here is a quote from link thecrimson.com about it:

‘ From the moment Chaeyoung begins singing an echoed version of the post-chorus, listeners can instantly interpret the direction of “The Feels” — a song about the all-too-familiar feeling of falling in love. The single continues to explore the jitters and nervousness of that feeling through the use of very cliché phrases, such as “catching feels like butterflies,” “I know love / It is such a funny thing,” and “I can feel a real connection / A supernatural attraction.”

In totality, “The Feels” does an excellent job of encompassing the all-consuming nature of love through its obsessive yet clichéd lyrics and the captivating nature of its disco style.

“The Feels” is also the group’s first official attempt to extend their brand overseas with an all-English single. ‘

—

And here is a quote from wikipedia link ‘The Feels (song)’:

‘ The track aim to captures the excitement of falling in love with infectious refrains and self-assured delivery.[18] In an interview with Bustle, group member Chaeyoung explained the song’s message, saying, “The song is about falling in love at first sight and how we should stay true to our feelings when we’re struck with love.”

The music video was described as a “glittery, retro prom-themed” spectacle by People,[54] and as a “technicolor” visual feast by Billboard.[52] It starts with a prom’s invitation being passed underneath the door of the “deluxe wardrobe” that Twice appear in. The members are excited to see they’ve been invited to prom. The video then shows the girls getting ready and talking about their romantic interests. In the second half, their prom fantasy comes to life with a sea blue theme, big balloon arches, decorated tables, and a prom queen throne. The Twice members take a break from the party to perform, dancing to the song’s chorus. ‘

—

To repeat, even though TWICE is a South Korean girl group, the song “The Feels” is sung by them in English, something that should make it even easier for you to watch it, if you choose to watch it.

—

And here is a quote from the lyrics:

Boy I, boy I, boy, I know
I know I get the feels
Boy I, boy I, boy, I know
I know you feel it too

—

To watch the music video, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘twice the feels’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 475M views! It was published 3 years ago by publisher ‘JYP Entertainment’.

—

I watched it on my laptop, and I plan to watch it on TV. I chose the music video, in my opinion, because of it’s choreography, more specifically, it’s synchronized dancing. And, in my opinion, it’s more entertaining to listen to, since the South Korean girl group is singing it in English.

—

One more quick quote from wikipedia:

‘ To promote the song, the group performed on American talk shows like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, GMA3: What You Need to Know, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. ‘

The tv series trailer that I watched for the 1st time within the 1st few hours ago is ‘Doctor Who | Season 2 Official Trailer | Disney+’. In a previous list, I recommended one of it’s teaser trailers. This is the official trailer. I found it by selecting in www.youtube.com publisher ‘IGN Movie Trailers’, select ‘Videos’, and I scrolled down a little. I then searched in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘doctor who season 2 2025’. That’s when I selected link ‘Doctor Who | Season 2 Official Trailer | Disney+’. It was published 1 day ago by ‘Disney Plus’ with 708K views.

—

Here is a quote from link avclub.com about the trailer:

‘ As we’ve seen from previous promos, the Doctor’s (Ncuti Gatwa) new companion Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) isn’t like the others. She’s not all that interested in traveling with the Doctor (okay, she’ll make an exception for the 803rd Interstellar Song Contest), she’s just trying to get back home. Unfortunately, a glitchy TARDIS has other ideas. In the new Doctor Who season two trailer, Belinda laments, “Can’t you get this box of yours fixed?” Presumably not before a few hair-raising adventures, beginning with the premiere on April 12.

Per the synopsis for the second season, “The Doctor meets Belinda Chandra and begins an epic quest to get her back to Earth. But a mysterious force is stopping their return and the time-traveling TARDIS team must face great dangers, bigger enemies and wilder terrors than ever before.” This season promises to pull on some plot threads from the previous one, like revealing the identity of the mysterious Mrs. Flood (Anita Dobson). And given the recurring faces the Doctor saw around the universe last year, there may be a connection between Belinda and Mundy Flynn, the character the actor played in the previous season’s “Boom.” As the Doctor mysteriously says in the trailer, “Everything is out of sync… our entire reality is in danger.” ‘

Personally, in case you want to know, I plan to renew my subscription to ‘Disney Plus’ on April 12, when the new season of ‘Doctor Who’ begins. I also plan to watch ‘Andor: Season 2’ on Disney+, which starts April 22 of that same month.

It is now 11:19PM EST for me.

I am going to take a short break, and then I will begin explaining idea ‘Be ready’. I’ll see you when I start typing again.

—

It is now 12:37AM EST for me.

Be ready:

Here is a partial quote definition of ‘be ready’ that I found searching in www.google.com for phrase ‘be ready meaning’. It is from link reddit.com. It’s a definition from one of the comments:

‘ im not sure what this post is about or what youre saying, but “be ready to” is a command that tells the listener that they should have the ability to do something.

“be ready in the morning for your doctors appointment” – this tells the listener that they should wake up earlier and spend less time in the morning so that they are ready for the appointment.

—

My 1st illustration example for idea ‘Be ready’ will use a refurbished for advice illustration/scene from the movie ‘At Middleton(2013)’ starring Taissa Farmiga as Audrey Martin, and Tom Skerritt as Dr. Roland Emerson. I’ll quote a few scenes using the streaming version of that movie from Amazon.com.

1 hour, 17 minutes, and 7 seconds:

Audrey Martin: ‘Okay, I know you don’t take on freshmen, but with my AP credits, I’m technically entering Middleton as a sophomore.’

Dr. Roland Emerson: ‘I’m leaving Middleton. At the end of next week, as a matter of fact.’

—

1 hour, 17 minutes, 38 seconds:

Audrey Martin: ‘You can’t do this to me.’

Dr. Roland Emerson: ‘I’m sorry?’

Audrey Martin: ‘You’re all I thought about this last year.’

Dr. Roland Emerson: ‘There are other linguistics professors at Middleton.’

Audrey Martin: ‘Well, I don’t want other professors. I want you.’

—

You can watch more of that scene, if you choose to, with the inapproprieities removed, such as bad language.

Here’s the explanation that I made based on that scene, refurbishing it for this advice: Audrey Martin, did in fact, have the right idea. She did make an effort to ‘be ready’ for the opportunity to have Dr. Roland Emerson as a teacher. She just didn’t make preparations earlier enough. If she checked earlier, she would have verified even from Dr. Roland Emerson himself that he was going to take a 4 year sabbatical. Her use of ‘being ready’ was valid, it’s just that she lacks enough experience to use it.

Because she expressed anger the way that she did when her use of ‘being ready’ did not produce the results that she wanted, she gave the use of ‘being ready’ an expectation that many? people may find unacceptable. She insulted a teacher, but thankfully, the experience of ‘being ready’ used by the teacher was enough to be considerate enough for Audrey Martin to experience. If you are a kid watching that scene, and I’m just imagining this, you may think ‘Well, isn’t that how a teacher is supposed to sound like/talk?’ In my opinion, that is the ‘sound’ of a teacher using his experience of ‘being ready’ to give a prospective student some latitude. For example, she’s not going to get into any trouble coming from him. He even gives her a few words of advice to help her develop her ability to ‘be ready’ for other endeavors, including the one she is currently disappointed in using.

In my opinion, Audrey Martin just lacks experience using her ability to ‘be ready’. If she didn’t so obviously insult Dr. Roland Emerson, she wouldn’t have to rely so much on Dr. Roland Emerson’s chosen use of ‘being ready’. She would have learned from the experience, hopefully, and would eventually use her ability to ‘be ready’ in a more effective manner.

A certain amount of years ago, I imagined the character Kathryn portrayed by Amy Adams from the movie ‘Cruel Intentions 2(2000)’, soon after graduating from college, applies to work for a certain job in America. She’s not exactly like the character from the movie, but she has some positive personality traits from her. She discovered what that company wanted, and learned to associate with those wants for certain job related benefits. As she is making herself more involved with that company, she discovered that the company is not giving benefits for the wants that she discovered. For answers, she talked to one of the representatives of that company, Delenn(Mira Furlan) as she looked when the tv series ‘Babylon 5(1993-1998)’ aired, and Delenn verified that the company does have an involvement with those wants that she discovered, but the company is not offering benefits for those wants. For whatever reason, the company is offering benefits, just not associated to those wants.

—

Let’s say that, if Kathryn verified that the wants that she discovered are not offering benefits from the company, she could have easily associated herself with other ‘wants’ that the company was actually offering benefits for. Her use of ‘being ready’ was effective. She did identify certain wants the company was involved with, but based on her expectations, if she pursued such information, she could have just changed her mind and chose to develop associations with other wants that the company was actually offering benefits for.

For this example, I’m going to use 2 scenes from 2 anime episodes from tv series ‘Sasaki and Peeps’. The episodes are available streaming from streaming service ‘Crunchyroll’. The 1st example is in episode 1.11 ‘Imagination and Counters’ from animated tv series ‘Sasaki and Peeps(2024)’.

18 minutes and 19 seconds into the episode:

Sasaki: ‘Whoops. I can’t actually just let him go like this.’

Sasaki:’Excuse me.’

Black Fallen Angel: (turning around)

Sasaki: ‘There’s something I’d like to discuss with you as well.’

Black Fallen Angel: ‘And what would that be?’

Sasaki: ‘It concerns Futari Shizuka-san.’

Black Fallen Angel: ‘I’m not giving up my own ally.’

Sasaki: ‘That’s not what I was going to ask.’

Sasaki: ‘We need to make it clear to the Bureau that Futari Shizuka-san has left your group. Do you have any ideas for how to do that?’

Black Fallen Angel: ‘You want me to tell your boss myself?’

—

19 minutes and 4 seconds:

Black Fallen Angel: ‘Well, I did lose our fight and all. I guess I can put in a call from you.’

Sasaki: ‘Also, I was hoping that you and I could be on good terms moving forward.’

—

If you want to, you can watch more of that episode, with inapproprieities removed and in relation to advice.

The example shows that Sasaki was ‘ready’ to possibly resolve certain loose ends, knowing that such an opportunity is rare, even though the opportunity presents itself soon after a fight was over.

—

It is now 2:17AM EST for me.

I am going to close this list now. I’ll reference the ideas in this list when I explain idea ‘186’ in the next list, whether it’s Monday, 3/31 on 7:00PM EST, or Tuesday, 4/1 on 7:00PM EST, unless I change my mind again. I read that it was renewed for a 2nd season, but I don’t know when the 2nd season will be released.
