My new home is going to be a tiny place but not a studio. Studios of circa 25 m2 are the current fashion in SP. They are being built everywhere. Just now they are finishing a building with 25 floors in the street, where I live.
Neither. No algebra for me.
History or Geography?
I lived in a studio apartment in Silicon Valley circa '78 - '80... prolly going for a pretty penny now ($2,990/month USD / 660 ft2/61 m2). Ground floor, the perfect size, a pool outside the door, and work/play (recreational bowling center) within a very short walk (sigh)... all I had fit in nicely with room to spare. Hoping your new home works as well :)
History
Geography or geology ?
Thanks! Your studio was bigger than my present apartment which is 45 qm. I hope your dwelling if you move will be big enough and comfy and graced by the presence of Tinker Bells.
Geography.
Foreign languages or Mathematics?
I'm thinking my old studio was renovated to a larger size... Tinky will, hopefully, always be with me if I move :)
I struggle with languages... I tried picking up my French language skills with the Duolingo app but couldn't keep up and became discouraged, so Mathematics.

Always been a non-fish holiday for Easter for me and mine, well, all of my holidays are: ham and/or turkey, or the rare (sic) prime rib roast.... even had Cornish game hens once or twice for the holidays.
Rather go to Disneyland or to a casino ?
To Disneyland though would prefer Central Park.
Rocky Mountains or Niagara Falls?
Interesting choice... I've had a negative impression of Central Park though I've never been there... prolly too much telly.
Niagara Falls
Central Park or The Metropolitan Museum of Art https://www.metmuseum.org/ ?
To tell the truth, I don't remember the park but only the squirrel, the first I ever saw eating a nut from my hand.
The Metropolitan-I visited it with my father. It was simply wonderful . I'm glad there are special prices for seniors. Thanks for the link.
Same question?
:)
Never been to the Met, well, never been to N.Y., but the Met would definitely be a stop :)

Using 1-5 tabs in your browser or more ?
Having lots of tabs on my browser but opening one at a time.
Using painting or edition tools on PC or not?
I missed the weekend because of paris-roubaix and the need of storing up enough mental energy to do taxes on Monday. ack!
I make use of those sometimes, but im not a skilled artist by a long shot, so any editing and painting and what not is worse than amateurish but still enjoyable.

I guess it's called the Amazon Fire now... https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/amazon-fire-hd-10-2019 I bought mine as a refurbished 2019 10 inch unit for myself and bought a new and latest 10 inch version for my wife who uses hers constantly. Mine has slowed down a bit and I rarely use it for other than reading church content because my cell phone is much faster... but the cell phone screen is, of course, much smaller.
Don't know risotto, but research shows it being a yummy rice dish... so, mashed potatoes in small quantities. I need to incorporate rice into my diet.
Scents: Sandalwood or vanilla or other ?
Jeanie
Daisy Duke or Ellie Mae ?
Thanks for the link, tailor. I never bought a Kindle, because the reading surface is to small for me, I use my tablets. Former tablet had a bit less than ten inches, the present one has about 13 I think. It's ideal for browsing, reading and writing, For reading I downloaded the app Read Era.
Risotto is very practical, The original Risotto is made with rice and cheese, but I make mine usually without cheese and everything that goes with rice.
Scents: citrus, lavender and andiroba:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carapa_guianensis
Shirts: Cotton or others?
For Bounty: Ben Affleck as I don't like Brad Pitt.
Hadn't heard of andiroba before, thanks for the link. Citrus and lavender are a few of my favorites too with Star Jasmin and Honeysuckle at the top of the list.
Much prefer cotton though the majority I wear is synthetic (mostly Hawaiian shirts that I have been given).
Silk or satin ?

Silk. But I really prefer cotton as most fabrics are synthetic today.
