No comment on headphones vs. not; I’d never even heard of it until this post, but I found some free audio for people in the same curious boat: Binaural Beats

I’m upvoting to encourage you to give Fudge cheese.

Except when you’re walking on a road, you should walk on the opposite side of vehicle traffic.

I take back my post, THIS is my hill to die on. Please note that it applies to any mixed use path where one type of traffic is markedly slower, so pedestrians on the road, obviously, but also walkers on bike paths.

I frequent a bakery that sells the Swedish treat called a semla. No one who works there speaks Swedish, so when I ask for ”two semlor” (pl.), they repeat it right back to me ”two semlas”. Sigh. They have a very finite number of foreign language menu items—they can learn the plurals. (Don’t get me wrong, if ”semlas” is the price of semlor I don’t have to make, I am willing to pay it, but boy does it annoy me.)

And that is exactly how I ended up never watching Game of Thrones.
