occasional

But over the last few decad es, this occasional feeling has become chronic for millions.

This required sleeping in tents, strangers’ homes, and the occasional jail cell along the way.

To be clear, that still means it can have occasional glitches or scheduled maintenance, or even have parts of it break entirely.

I also have a car payment each month, as well as groceries, and then the occasional going out to eat with friends.

Mostly on location, near windswept infrastructure, although there’s computer science and linguistics in there too, and occasional green-screen animated videos.

Now in this studio environment, where you know, there's some voices, maybe occasional louder noises, one really loud mechanical keyboard and a few dog barks, like that's pretty easy.

There were occasional rough patches for the launch, like shopkeepers in Buxton, a town famous for its mineral water, complaining about being forced by their contracts with Coca-Cola to replace bottles of the local water in coolers with Dasani.

When there was only the occasional mail coach or carrier pigeon to deal with, an anxiously attached person could take silence at face value while their avoidantly attached partner had only a single letter or two to write every month.
