Salutations.

It is now 9:25PM EST for me.

Since I recommended the Tile Mate last week, I feel obligated to walk you through the installation process, since this is a public blog, and kids could be reading this blog. I don’t know for sure that they are, but that should not matter, since this is a public blog. In my opinion, to me, it’s like going into your local grocery/deli store, and all of the drinks that they are displaying should be drinkable to you, even though you are not going to buy them. However, this is the time I’ve officially set aside for myself to type in the usual ideas. I don’t want to explain how to install your Tile Mate right now. Therefore, sometime after I do my laundry, around tomorrow morning, I will make a new list and explain it. Last week, I only recommended the purchase of the Tile Mate, something to attach to your keychain. I only use the Tile Mate, since I only sometimes have issues finding it. However, that is something that I chose to commit to less than a week ago, since using the Tile Mate is relatively new to me. It seems simple enough to have, maybe a novelty for the kids using it recently. This is what I actually purchased over a week ago:

Tile Mate Essentials 4-Pack (2 Mate, 1 Slim, 1 Stickers)-

—

I didn’t recommend it last time because it went up over $20 since I purchased it, and I haven’t used it yet to determine how to promote it. Now that I used a few of them, I have decided to only use the Tile Mate. What I will do tomorrow morning is install the other Tile Mate, and in case in the future you may find useful how to install other Tile items, I’ll try to explain that, too. That explanation I’ll give tomorrow morning, with music video and trailer, for routine purposes.

As for a recommendation from Amazon.com, if you are into drinking zero sugar sodas from soda cans, I recommend drinking this also for the sake of variety:

Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Cherry Juice Drink, 64 FL Oz Bottle

—

If you have Amazon Prime shipping, it has Prime shipping available, and it’s only $3.19 per 64 Fl Oz bottle. Since I carry my groceries via grocery bag, I enjoy the convenience of it being delivered. It’s a healthy taste recommendation, in my opinion. If you don’t know for sure, you can just order 1, it’s less than $4 dollars as it is, and see if you like it. If you do, then order 2 from now on. In my opinion, it gives more variety to your zero sugar drinking, if that is what you drink regularly. Here’s a quick quote from Amazon.com from one of it’s reviews:

‘ Convenient method to buy a normally brick & mortar store product. Having grown up with Ocean Spray, I’m familiar with the mild taste. This low calorie version has a slight sugar substitute aftertaste. It’s a little less syrupy tasting/feeling as the full calorie version. ‘

—

Since I carry my groceries, having it delivered is very preferred to me, since I don’t think I can carry them with my other groceries if I purchase them from a supermarket. I am already complaining to myself as to how heavy my groceries are currently.

It is now 9:47PM EST for me.

I am going to look for that music video and trailer to recommend to you. That should take about and hour and a half to prepare and start typing/recommending in this blog. So, if you are there around that time, I’ll see you then.

I found something in www.youtube.com that may interest you if you use the Amazon Prime streaming service. This is the link where I found it:

7 Big Streaming Changes for January 2024!

It is published by publisher Michael Saves on January 2, 2024. There are 7 changes in the commercial, but I’m only recommending one of them that may interest you, and there’s no obligation. I just thought you may find the information useful. When you go to Amazon.com’s homepage, put your cursor on the upper right hand part, the one with your name on it, for ‘Account & Lists’. Scroll down category ‘Your Account’ and click ‘Memberships & Subscriptions’. If you have Amazon Prime, click ‘Prime Membership Settings’. Then click ‘See all your Prime benefits’.(I didn’t know about ‘Free Grubhub+’. I’m going to look into that later.) For category ‘Streaming and digital benefits’, click ‘Learn more about ad-supported changes to Prime Video.’. Then click ‘Pre-Register for Prime Video Ad Free’. Here’s a partial quote:

‘ Starting January 29, Prime Video movies and TV shows will include limited advertisements. This will allow us to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time. We aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers.

We will also offer a new ad-free option for an additional $2.99 per month*. To go Ad Free, or to cancel a pre-order, visit https://www.amazon.com/primevideoadfree. You won’t be billed until January 29. ‘

—

So, if you want to continue using your Amazon.com streaming service with as little commercial interruption as reasonably possible, the ‘ad-free option’ is about $3 dollars per month. I think it’s worth it. That is the reason I enrolled in Youtube Premium, to avoid the commercials when I use it. It’s just a recommendation, and maybe you can just use the information.

It is now 10:11PM EST for me.

I am going to look for that music video and trailer now.

—

It is now 11:46PM EST for me.

I accidentally selected the ‘x’ at the upper right hand corner of the screen, causing all of the windows to close. It took me a few minutes to look for them again and select them.

Before I begin describing the music video, I want to say that practically all of the music videos that I have found have been relationship based. So, when you watch the music video(s) that I recommend, I also try to include a quote from a review of that music video, which shows that there’s more than just a relationship based music video.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘Sunny Day’ by Beabadoobee. When I talked about music videos being mostly relationship based, here is the reason why I talked about it. Here’s a quote from the song ‘Sunny Day’:

Keep me here
With your skin on mine again
While you’re there
It’s easy if I pretend

—

Here’s the part I’m addressing:

With your skin on mine again

—

It’s obviously a ‘relationship based’ phrase, but it’s not specific. For the use of this advice, interpret that as a possible kiss or a hug.

If you still choose to watch the music video, here is the lead singer’s age according to wikipedia.org:

Born 3 June 2000 (age 23)
Iloilo City, Philippines
Origin London, England

—

If you still choose to watch the music video, in my opinion, the music video is relaxing to watch. Beabadoobee, the woman singer, is singing solo, and the music video involves special effects that contribute to being relaxed as you watch. And yes, as typed in, the lyrics are relationship based, but if you choose to watch the music video, the music and the video may help you feel relaxed. That is the context that I recommend you watch it when using it for this advice. Since I accidentally deleted all of the windows, that caused me to forget how I found the music video. I have in the past considered a few of her music videos, verified when I tried to search for her name in youtube’s ‘Watch history’.

—

The movie trailer, refurbished for advice, that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘Lift | Official Trailer | Netflix’. Before I begin explaining it, the main reason I chose ‘Lift’ is because Gugu Mbatha-Raw(Abby) is one of the main characters, and when you watch the ‘Lift’ trailer, before doing that, I recommend you watch the ‘Belle(2013)’ trailer, starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Dido Elizabeth Belle. I find her character portrayal in the movie ‘Belle’ very useful. I recommend looking for ‘Belle’ when watching the trailer ‘Lift’.

Here is a quote from wikipedia.com found by searching for phrase ‘lift 2024’ in reference to it’s release date:

Lift is scheduled to be released by Netflix on January 12, 2024.

—

And here is a review from the link ‘The Philadelphia Tribune’ found in www.google.com searching for phrase ‘lift netflix reviews:

“If we don’t do this, we go to jail,” Cyrus shares with the team, explaining how they found themselves in this unique predicament.

In response to Cyrus’s statement regarding jail time, Interpol agent Abbey Gladwell responds, “Plus, it’s about saving lives,” putting a capstone on why the government hired them.

—

Humorously explained in the trailer, the thieves are being blackmailed into stealing something for the government. If they don’t do it, they go to jail for their previous crimes. I’m not certain because I deleted the windows earlier, but I think I found it by selecting publisher ‘Rotten Tomatoes Trailers’ from www.youtube.com, select ‘Videos’, select ‘New Trailers This Week | Week 1 (2024)’, and the trailer ‘Lift’ starts about 6 minutes and 52 seconds into that video collection.

It is now 12:27AM EST for me.

Effort to resolve: Effort to solve:

I was thinking of telling you the idea outright, and then explain the ideas that led to it, but I think it’s more realistic if I explain this idea incrementally, and then you can decide incrementally if you want to use it. The 1st idea is called ‘Effort of resolve’ and/or ‘Effort to solve’. It uses 3 character references: 1)2 illustration references involving Captain Christopher Pike(Anson Mount) from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds(2022+)’, and the 3rd reference involves 2 characters in the same story, The Doctor portrayed by Ncuti Gatwa based on episode ‘The Giggle’ from tv series ‘Doctor Who(2023)’. The episode is available streaming on Disney+. The 2nd character in that story is celebrity Brad Pitt. Refurbished with inapproprieities removed, his character is a business character, but if you want to use an illustration reference for the idea, refurbished with inapproprieities removed, you may use the movie ‘Bullet Train(2022)’. I only watched a few of his movies. And for the story, and the quote will make sense later, here is a quote from wikipedia.org about Brad Pitt:

‘… he was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive, an accolade he received again in 2000.[245][247] Pitt appeared on Forbes’ annual Celebrity 100 list of the 100 most powerful celebrities from 2006 to 2008 placing at numbers 20, 5 and 10, respectively.[248][249][250] In 2007, he appeared on the Time 100 list, a compilation of the 100 most influential people in the world, as selected annually by Time magazine.[251] The magazine credited Pitt for using “his star power to get people to look [to where] cameras don’t usually catch”.[251] He was again included on the Time 100 in 2009, this time in the “Builders and Titans” list ‘

—

As usual, I have never explained this idea before. This is the 1st time I’ve put it into words. No other version of it exists out there. I’m going to gather the ‘Captain Pike’ references 1st. Hopefully, there still there. Even though I watched it already, the streaming service may have removed it. It may take me 10 minutes or so to find it. I am also going to take a short break. I should be back in 15 minutes or so.

—

It is now 12:58AM EST for me.

What I’ll do in this list is explain idea ‘Effort of resolve’/’Effort of solve’. There’s more to it than that, so I’ll close this list, and next Monday night/Tuesday morning, I will finish the overall idea, which includes idea ‘Effort of resolve’/’Effort of solve’, unless I change my mind again, but I don’t think I will. I want to cook and eat the steak I bought from the supermarket before I get ready going to the laundromat. I’m going to look for those ‘Captain Pike’ references now.

—

It is now 1:41AM EST for me.

Before I begin referencing the ‘Captain Pike’ references, I noticed yet again that something has changed from when I originally watched it, and this time it wasn’t that long ago. It makes me really consider recording streaming episodes, since they may change in the future. I probably won’t, but I’m thinking about it. They probably exist, something that records streaming episodes so that you may watch it later, but I don’t have one, and I have never used one. Anyway, both scenes were altered, so I’ll try to explain it as I originally watched it, as well as quote what is there as of now. Hopefully, I can finish explaining this idea within an hour, so that I can start cooking that steak I bought from the supermarket.

The 1st quote is from episode 1.7 ‘The Serene Squall’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds(2022)’. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts about 44 minutes and 44 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:

Captain Christopher Pike(Anson Mount): [imitating pirate] ‘Argh, me mateys. If we ever catch Angel, we should make them walk the plank. Argh.’

Una Chin-Riley(Rebecca Romijn): ‘Please stop.’

—

Before, when they were all placed in a space pirate’s prison, they were all willing to go along with Captain Pike’s plan. Now that it’s over, when Captain Pike continues to carry over some of that ‘effort of resolve’, Una Chin-Riley asks Captain Pike to ‘please stop’, indicating that she no longer wants to interact with that effort of resolve.

When I saw that episode for the 1st time, I clearly remember Captain Pike acting surprised and a little shocked as to his #1’s reaction, to no longer use that ‘effort of resolve’. Now, when you watch that scene, Captain Pike looks like he just stopped, like there was nothing else to it. Clearly, in my opinion, that scene was edited.

—

The 2nd ‘Captain Pike’ illustration reference is in episode 1.5 ‘Spock Amok’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds(2022)’. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 46 minutes and 10 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote, refurbished for advice:

Admiral Robert April(Adrian Holmes): ‘Chris, what the heck was that?’

Christopher Pike: ‘Playing a hunch.’

Admiral April: ‘You’re risking an alliance that could be the key to the Federation’s future security on a hunch?’

—

If memory serves, Captain Pike gave 2 explanations as to why he said what he said. The 1st explanation was from the scene that I watched when it was 1st made available streaming. He gave an explanation that wasn’t acceptable to Admiral Robert April, an unacceptable ‘effort of resolve’, and so he told the people in that room including the Admiral, to disregard that 1st explanation, and he then gave the 2nd explanation, the one that is given in the current streaming episode.

—

It is now 2:10AM EST for me.

I’m sorry, but for the sake of time availability, I’m going to give you the ‘sloppy’ explanation for this story. And based on this version, the rest of the details are now embellishments, extras. Originally, they were a part of the story, but now they’re removed.

All right. Here is the ‘sloppy’, shorter explanation: Brad Pitt(using his actual name, but still an imagined character portrayal) is somehow in a situation where he is being assisted by The Doctor portrayed by Ncuti Gatwa. After the events from ‘The Giggle’ episode, he didn’t just meet Ruby Sunday(Millie Gibson), his next assistant?. Refurbished for advice, he did other things before eventually meeting with her. And one of those things was meeting and choosing to help his new friend Brad Pitt, a businessman for a big? company. Brad Pitt is in management. In this company with many employees, at least most of the men are married, and the rest are currently in relationships. Many of the women that work in this company are single, and find it frustrating that, in their situation, practically all of the men working for their company are already in relationships. Sure, during company social events that involve dancing, the men eagerly ask for them to dance with them, but all of those men are already in relationships. When Brad Pitt interacts with the women, he eventually gets a reaction based on the extrapolated statement that Geordi La Forge(LeVar Burton) said to Jack Crusher(Ed Speleers) in episode 3.6 ‘The Bounty) from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Picard(2023)’. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 37 minutes and 56 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:

Ensign Sidney La Forge(Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut): ‘I don’t know how to stop the chain reaction.’

Geordi La Forge: ‘But I do.’

Geordi La Forge: (talking to Jack Crusher(Ed Speleers) ‘And you– stay away from my daughter.’

—

What Brad Pitt wants is to be able to interact with the women more professionally, to not act upon their expressions of infatuation and enthusiasm, causing him to agree to be in casual relationships with them. Brad Pitt is like the character Alex Cole(Tommy Dewey) in the tv series ‘Casual(2015-2018)’, being in a lot of casual relationships with the single women where he works, but he doesn’t want to be that man. He wants to have more professional relationships with the women, like all of the other men in management are clearly capable of doing, even though almost all of those men are married. And that is what The Doctor is trying to do for him, but he is not using obvious powers to make that work. What he did was arrange for Brad Pitt to have a temporary transfer to another location in the company. He talked to their management, and they agreed to the transfer. The Doctor also talked to Brad Pitt. He gave him a typed objective for Brad Pitt to follow, already identifying the goals that Brad Pitt had verbally indicated to The Doctor. All of these events happened within 1 week. Soon after that, Brad Pitt starts working in another division of the company with a managerial position. Fast forward a little, and you see one of the women presenting a very recognizable expression of infatuation to him, and then the tv show/movie camera zooms in on Brad Pitt’s face as he says the words ‘No.’

—

The point of that ‘Brad Pitt’ story is that that moment when Brad Pitt said ‘No.’ to himself, that is the beginning. Before, he didn’t have a typed plan to follow. He doesn’t realize it during that moment, but he is experiencing a significant improvement in being like his colleagues in management. He just doesn’t recognize it yet because of the ‘effort of resolve’ he is experiencing as that woman he was working with is expressing an obvious infatuation for him.

Another reason he has such a problem, not just for choosing to be single, is because the men that know him in the company admire his situation, even though Brad Pitt doesn’t see it like they do. And it’s not just the fact that, according to wikipedia.org, he has certain attributes that woman may find appealing. If you were in management in general, from the perspectives of non-managerial employees, more specifically women non-managerial employees, men in management are all over the place normally. Even though it’s their job, from the woman’s perspective, they can be very accommodating. So, if their jobs have nothing against workplace relationships, that explains why all of the men in management are already married. And if they started working as single men, it won’t take long for them to meet a single woman in the workplace and very sincerely choose to be in a relationship with them, leading to marriage, but that occurs in the very beginnings of their careers. Someone from management would have to choose to stay single in order to have the ‘problem’ that Brad Pitt has.

—

It is now 2:51AM EST for me.

I am going to close this list now. Next week, I will finish adding more to this idea, unless I change my mind again. So, if you are there next week, I’ll see you then. (Soon, I can cook that steak I bought from the supermarket yesterday.)
