“We have also developed a tomato which can eject itself when an accident is imminent.”

Back in the Before Times of Reddit, there was a guy who knew quite a bit about vacuums. Did an AMA at least a few times.

Long story short, powders such as baking soda or any of the common ‘freshness’ options damage vacuums. Avoid using them.

I’ll be the dense lunkhead and ask/say the obvious:

I’m guessing you were trying to find a specific, older movie?

OT, but now I’m disappointed to have discovered that LMGTFY’s SSL throws a NSURLErrorDomain error. I would have used that instead.

Don’t forget AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Towing Service

FWIW I enjoyed your post. And yeah, quite the knack for shite friends/relationships :D

TIL, thanks

Big fan of douchecanoe. Been using it for many years.

I once dropped ‘douchecanoe’ in a convo with my manager in reference to someone we both knew outside of the company, without thinking. She gave me one of those “hol’ up - what did you just say?” reactions. New to her, she was amused.

Continually inspired with amazing ideas. But the moment you try to write them down or describe to anyone else, they just fade away.

Like waking up after an amazing dream and trying to remember it long enough to tell anyone else.

Also when you have a chance, check out:

Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary

but not until after you’ve seen GQ :)

After I’d watched the documentary, I realized there were some clever nuances/cinematography, etc that I had missed the first couple times I’d watched GQ. Ended up watching GQ soon after that once again.

It’s one of those quirky movies that’s worth rewatching from time to time. Like The Princess Bride.

“WHOA THERE DUDE! Geez, didn’t you see that paper cup being blown by the wind?? Totally saved your ass.”

You are in for a treat, friend. Watch it when you have the time.

(Galaxy Quest, as the other poster mentioned.)

I did that for one neighbour in one apartment complex where we lived. Her laptop sucked ass beforehand.

Proper air-drying is key. Gotta maximize the surface area. If there’s a gentle breeze nearby, all the better.

Living somewhere where you can use a clothesline would fit this most times (ie, if it’s not raining all the time).

You just need to avoid Alderaan places.

True, there’s that :)

And of course there are those times that Alexa completely misunderstands. Neither my wife nor I know how it happened, but some months back we discovered “blow job” on our list.

“Alexa, add bananas”

“Alexa, 3 minutes”

“Alexa, add 30 seconds”

I think that’s just about everything I’ve ever used it for.

Yeah, that works because of the ‘z’ I would say.

I’m having trouble finding another word that rhymes but still uses an ‘s’ and not a ‘z’.

I guess there’s ‘choose,’ but visually it looks closer to ‘loose’. Which would just confuse the people we’re trying to give clarity to.

And lose rhymes with no-

Er.

Let me get back to you on that.

This came up in my feed today:

Sharing, in case it’s useful at all.

Dunno about “usually”. Our last house was fairly nice, but didn’t have this sink feature. That said, you could walk around and see where the builder went for the cheapest option available.

That said, this kitchen sink feature should literally be the absolute minimum for consideration.
