Ok, so...tall person here - as I grew into my 6'4" frame I got progressively wider as well. In my later days (kinda old now) my width has increased unproprtionally to my stagnated growth in height. Damn! You just fat shamed me without meaning to! Uncool, dude!!

We normally don't gift unless an excellent idea comes up. We were struggling with our ice maker not keeping up (Ice water constantly, cocktails in the evening, etc) and my wife got me a countertop nugget ice maker (chewy ice). It is no good for daily ice water which needs big cubes to melt slowly but I turn that sucker on every day a 3PM and my evening drinks are much improved!
This is a left/right thing?!! WTF? This just a food thing and if you are left/righting it you are a world-class dolt!
"A woman is only fertile during about 5 days each lunar cycle. Unfortunately those days are the most fun but the other 24 are safer."
Can confirm that these are the best days to get wiggy with it - ask me how I know...kids.
The immigrants are not taking our jobs, we are shedding job roles because the immigrants are no longer around to fill them. This is a self-imposed recession attributable to one orange baboon.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is one big plot hole riddled with plot holes and cheesy-ness to boot but I find it mildly enjoyable (yes, I know it is much panned and generally disliked).
I say yes, in the same way that a folded over NY Slice of pie is a sandwich. Handheld bread containing yummies are sandwiches!
Fair enough, I knew my take wouldn't be a popular one here. In all fairness if you are using Apple products the iCloud sync brings all of the metadata with the data on every device that accesses it.
While I don't have any illusions that Apple has my back they do have a lot invested in keeping people's trust in their ecosystem. The automated on-device CSAM scanning kerfuffle that they backed away from shows that they are sensitive to the threat of people leaving their walled garden.
Another fairly easy to implement local solution that wouldn't be an admin headache is to put a Mac mini with a bunch of attached storage on the network and use it as a file server. I do that for my PleX.

Wifi networks and home automation systems are expected to last 50+ years.
I was reading up on the life expectancy of different building materials when I came across this gem.

I guess the ethernet cables could last that long, but they rate house wiring to a lower lifetime. Ethernet cables are not "wireless", however.
The only other wireless systems I can think of are garage door openers, but they are definitely not expected to last 50 years.
I have ceiling fans that I run (on slow) clockwise when it's cold. I can clearly feel the mixing of upper level (warm) air into my environment which is comfortable but my wife thinks any moving air is cold air and hates it. I think I need to position multiple temp sensors at various heights and locations to prove my point but my concern is that if I have empirical evidence to back my supposition it will be poorly received because, of course, I'm over-thinking it. Thoughts?
Edit: after receiving the thoughts I requested I must say I agree with everyone and will simply pack my opinion away and mix a lovely beverage with some warming whiskey when we settle in tonight...of course, I'll make two so we can enjoy together.
Edit edit: Sorry, but as I am a goober I had to gather data and I can unequivocally state that fan blowing up makes temp sensors warmer.
My beloved wife is preparing to wage war against colonel Kitchener. Stand back, 7 needles in play!

Yes.
Side note, anyone aware of an instance that prohibits it?
