Hi! I love your content! I find it so cool that you're willing to answer such a wide variety of questions. It's so interesting to read!
I am very curious to hear your thoughts on the following, if you're open to answering and have the time to. I've actually been thinking about this a lot, lately:
Who do you think raised Spider, canonically? Like, beyond just basic needs (food, water, shelter). Do you think anyone bothered to teach him life skills or do you think he had to learn by watching others? Is he even literate, does he know any math? Teaching a child to read and write takes a lot of time, patience, and effort, as does teaching them math, and there are no K-12 schools on Pandora that I'm aware of.
Since Spider appears to have been emotionally neglected to the extent that he ended up reacting positively to the bare-bones, abusive attention his revived bio dad gave him, would it stand to reason that he's lacking in basic life skills? Do you think this is the case? And if it is, do you think would this impact the narrative?
Hi my love! That is so sweet, I'm so glad you like what I have to say, it means a lot. I am always open to answering, and it might take me a bit but I find the time lol.
So, canonically Spider was raised by the McCosker family, Nash and Mary and their sons. They were his foster parents. We don't know a whole ton, but it seems like they lost a ton of interest in him once they had their own kids. Nash, at the very least, seems like he was actively abusive. However, I do think Spider knows all of his shit. I think he knows more than I fucking know. Kid grew up around only scientists. Sure, the ones fostering him were emotionally neglecting him but I am 100% sure that kid is educated as fuck. He is an amalgamation of the village that raised him.
Norm taught him math and gave him homework packets and Max taught him first aid. The avatar drivers taught him which foods were safe for humans, and the scientists taught him what plants were dangerous. Jake taught him how to hunt even if he was just watching Jake teach Neteyam, and Neytiri taught him to cook when he was with Lo'ak because Lo'ak didn't want to learn and was hoping Neytiri wouldn't with Spider there lol. Mo'at taught him what herbs were used for what. He's a reflection of lessons from everyone who helped raise him, even if they should've done way better.

my favorite thing about demersa is that she is a looming, intimidating presence you should not fuck with but in a casual setting you also catch glimpses of how she is also a fucking weirdo in small but jarring ways
you can at least argue the validity of her eating popcorn with a spoon, less reasonable is her immediately quitting any video game where it becomes demonstrably clear that the character can't swim
like you know people who go "this game sucks because you can't jump"? she's like that, but with games that have water in them, and don't let you go into the water

Vague time slots are the worst with ADHD. Like there’s a plumber coming “sometime this afternoon” and literally since 12:01 I’ve been sat next to my window going “plumber?” at every car that drives by and then vaguely stare at my phone until the next car. I objectively have tons of time to do some work stuff but my hell brain can only think about the “imminent” arrival of this plumber and thus nothing gets done

How to Choose the Best Shower Valve
Selecting the right shower valve is crucial for an optimal showering experience. With various types on the market, it can be challenging to decide which is best for your needs. Let me, George, give you a straightforward rundown to simplify your choice.
Thermostatic Shower Valves: Ideal for families, thermostatic valves maintain your desired water temperature, even when water usage changes elsewhere in your home. Perfect for preventing scalds and ensuring a consistent shower temperature.
Pressure-Balancing Valves: A great budget-friendly option, these valves adjust the water pressure to maintain a steady temperature. Suitable for single showers in smaller households where sudden temperature changes are less of a concern.
Manual Shower Valves: Simple and direct, manual valves allow you to control the flow and temperature with a single lever. They're affordable and straightforward but lack the temperature stability of thermostatic valves.
Diverter Valves: If your shower setup includes multiple outlets (like a handheld showerhead alongside a fixed one), diverter valves let you easily switch between them. They're essential for luxury showers with multiple water sources.
Choosing the Right Valve:
Consider your household's needs and your shower habits. For safety and comfort, especially in homes with children or elderly residents, thermostatic valves are the top choice. For simpler setups or tighter budgets, pressure-balancing or manual valves may suffice.
Final Thoughts:
Every shower setup has unique requirements, but the right valve can elevate your showering experience from mundane to extraordinary. For safety, comfort, and ease of use, investing in a quality shower valve is a wise decision.
Ready to upgrade your shower? Remember, a great day starts with a great shower.
Best, George
