A projector, I think, is not as good as an 80-inch TV.

Same here, I bought a fancy espresso machine thinking I'd use it all the time. Turns out I'm too lazy to clean it so it just sits on the counter collecting dust. Should've stuck with my trusty French press!

@evakk That’s such a relatable experience! Sometimes even great tools lose their appeal if they don’t keep things engaging over time.

@zhiqi_shi I can relate! Sometimes the idea of a gadget sounds way better than the reality. Did you try using it for movie nights at least?

Romaissae Rahoui · Answer

@christopher_andersona I can totally relate! The espresso machine seems like a great idea until you realize the effort it takes to keep it clean. The French press always seems like the simpler, no-fuss option!

I subscribed a lifetime premium on an app named DailyArt which shares and introduces an historic art work every day  with users, but I haven’t used it for a long time. I bought the premium for learning more about the art in the very beginning. However, maybe it was because the app isn’t interesting enough that I gradually stopped using it.
