I mean, that’s a pretty good run. I’ve never had to wear glasses but now at 41 I need readers when my eyes are tired, and when they’re not they’re working harder for clarity than they ever had to before. I said something to my dad about it a couple years ago as I was first noticing the change and he said, “How old are you? Ah yeah, that’s about the age.” (Yes my dad had to check how old I was. 🙄)

Because of the angle, at first glance I thought those bottles to the left were defying gravity and sitting on the side of your cabinet.

We do have solar, which doesn’t cover everything but covers some. Either way, we figure if we use the more efficient car, less goes to PG&E than if we were charging the larger car more frequently.

Thank you, with the brain comment my mind went immediately to the brain worm and I was super confused because I highly doubted AOC would have ever endorsed him.

Wouldn’t that be great? I think some fancy cars do it, but not ours. To be fair, it’s a small price to pay for giving gas companies and PG&E less money.

We have two electric cars, a big one and a small one. The small one is “mine” and the big one is “his.” However, we both work from home so the only commute anymore is taking the kids to school. So, whenever possible, we take the little one because it’s more efficient by far. He doesn’t mind and thankfully it saves seat profiles, even if we always have to adjust the mirror.

(I have not seen them but) I feel Pierce Brosnan was born at the wrong time. So much of the cinema in the 90s was so campy. Just comparing 90s Bond to modern Bond, there’s a big difference in tone. Then again, maybe it’s actually his preference; he did do Mamma Mia after all. I can just imagine him as a more serious actor and would love to see it. How does the Thomas Crowne Affair rank in that way?

My gen alpha kids got it in 3rd grade. Or rather one did and one is about to.

As someone who always spells it wrong, I must tell you how much I appreciate “fuhshchias”

Also hummingbirds love my fuchsias.

We have 8 and 10 and we have just been thinking that maybe the 10 year old could handle it. Sadly the 8 year old is really sensitive so no time soon.

I got this exact same one. WTF?

Some of my kids’ friends at school have Apple Watches. (5th grade, plus we live in Apple town.) My kids also want one (ha no). We’ve explained that theirs wouldn’t be able to do anything because they wouldn’t be connected. They still want one — solely for the voice memo feature. That’s it. That’s what they want a $300 smartwatch for.

All I’m saying is, toy makers, there’s a market! Bring these things back!

My Model 3 is like this. (Please don’t judge, I’ve had it for six years.) Thankfully I don’t need to get into the glovebox very often but on the other hand that means I can never remember how to do it. It sucks balls.

Wouldn’t matter in NY anyway.

Yeah I’m having a hard time feeling negative about Iran doing this when we know what Russia is up to. At least it levels the playing field a bit. Feels icky though!

Obligatory VOTE

Even if that phrase hadn’t been used ad nauseum already, this would be the right time to use it. This is truly a WTF move.

The Sandlot

Remember when the country came together after 9/11 because there was an enemy that was not a different half of our populace? We could have had that again with covid, but nooooo, we had to turn to infighting instead (and villainizing China while we were at it).

My daughter is super sad about it. We went down to SoCal to do theme parks a couple of weeks ago and there are still a few down there so we went twice just for her. I’m sad about it too; they felt less fake than a lot of fast food.

That’s not what they’re saying. It’s essentially a “door ajar” warning. The sensor is what’s failing, rather than the physical part.
