Coconut oil for skin moisturizer.

Fuck you, turns out its maximally comedogenic.

Found out later that sunflower oil is top tier.

Espresso & cumin

It has neither the positive reputation you assume nor do Quebecois say “le stationnement”.

Ok cool never know about that. At $200 it would be an automatic yes for me!

Many years ago I learned to improve my electronics “hygiene” by being strict about how power is connected/transferred from household AC to my gadgets. One too many blown PSUs during thunderstorm season while on a deadline, I guess.

Don’t use power strips, use high-end surge protectors. Cheap ones can still get absolutely rocked and can’t be trusted. Always use high-end OEM charge blocks for phones and for laptop chargers, etc.

No good call to spend thousands on electronics then cheap out at the power-transfer part of the deal. Because that’s where most damage is done. Pay for the good stuff now and it will more than pay for itself in the long term. Fewer blown PSUs/inverters/transformers. Longer lasting batteries.

I feel like electricity is less like magic fairies floating down wires and more like ropes tugging and rams crashing. I always liked to think about it that way.

I use a calendar. I know this sounds ridiculous to mention it, but I am continually astonished at how few people use it to remember tasks and events.

I actually laughed so hard at your description.

It’s really real, each bite doesn’t produce a crunch, so much as it produces an audible heart murmur.

Almost all fast food.

It’s hot candy.

Thanks

Wow you totally reminded me of this building I managed several years back now, and they all had washing machines with that only filled a few inches, maybe 8 at most.

It was explained to me by my appliance tech, perhaps he’s not entirely correct on somebody may inform me better… But he said they were built to some water savings standard from california, and rather than making different models for different markets, they just foisted the low water ones on people.

I remember endless grieving from residents. I also remember a very common complaint of the person above them using their washing machine for 9 hours a day. Well fucking yeah, try having two working parents and three kids and seeing how much laundry you can get done in those pieces of shit!

Yeah but it the scheme of life you’re not out much.

I used to repair/rebuild TVs as part of my side hustle and I can absolutely confirm Hisense are the worst for parts, and no they don’t sell them! But also think about it… they’re shit products and the capacitors on the inverters burst constantly. You’d get another year before the replacement went byebye so really? Some products you just want out of your life. If it helps you feel better.

Hisense are just disposable TVs. It’s hard for me to accept that’s how ridiculous it’s gotten with the churn of tech and gadgets.

Holy moly the stories I could tell you about how repair un-friendly they purposely make TVs… but I don’t want to get myself all wound up lol

it’s by law

Where?

This is long in the past so I’m not coming at you but for others reading this, most credit cards give you an extra year warranty on top of manufacturers.

It wouldn’t install on an all-in-one PC I was selling, until I clicked the bypass options (RAM, TPM, etc) in Rufus

I had to use a link shortener because the N word is rightfully scrubbed and can’t be posted in my comment or link.

The title is supposed to shock you. Jerry Farber was the real deal and a hardcore antiestablishmentarian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Farber

Yeah not only are they not the tastiest, they’re the most disgusting. I eat a f****** ton of peanuts, and the bottom of the jar is always filled with the little nubs. Of course I eat them, but nothing gives you a sense of how horrible they taste than getting an entire mouthful at once.

And then there was this dude that was swallowed by a whale and he just chilled in the stomach and lit a little bit of a fire and roasted some marshmallows and then he was puked up or something later.
