Windchimes. You forgot windchimes.

I feel like I haunt Lifehacker mainly to drop comments touting freezer tape. It’s a little weird to buy tape for such a specific purpose, but it’s not terribly expensive and I keep it stashed in my kitchen drawer with a sharpie so I can stay on top of labelling all the things.

My store just pushed out a digital coupon for $10 off of spiral hams, unlimited use, through February 22. I’ll wait a little bit until the per-pound price drops, then swoop in to snag a great deal. This is when my vacuum sealer really shines.

My parents just finished renovating their dream house for retirement. They specifically wanted a one-story home they could grow old in, hence a renovation, since NO ONE in their (metro) area is building new-construction single-story homes. So they found a mid-century 3/2.5 and did a period-sensitive gut reno.

I’m kind of surprised that no one’s come up with a way yet to put a camera inside the monitor, like a two-way mirror sort of deal.

How else are you going to enlarge vertical videos to full screen?

Plus, once Apple downloads all the images in your mail, the spammers now know for sure that your address is legit.

I got an email last week from LiveJournal celebrating the 13th anniversary of my account. Oops, was that still active? I don’t use it anymore. Maybe I should go shut that down…

I’ve been using the ones I was gifted last year for chilling down single glasses of white wine. Because silly me, when I put ice in my whiskey I actually want it to melt a little.

Right?! I mean, college is hard enough, but pandemic college? Applause for all y’all.

It’s a paper tape almost identical to masking tape (at least in feel and appearance), but the adhesive is a different formula. Not sure specifically if it’s compostable, but it isn’t plastic.

Instead of masking tape, may I introduce you to freezer tape? Does better in cold temperatures and at sticking to surfaces like aluminum foil.

I bought a bunch of them for running, since I sweat heavily once my heart rate hits a certain point and I start to flush. I notice now that I don’t get sunscreen in my eyes like I used to, since I’m able to wipe away sweat easily without touching my face.

I was, my bad! Dudes with glasses, yo…

There was an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent where he played a loud Weinstein type who raped a teenager on a casting couch. Illeana Douglas and Louis Theroux were in the episode, too—would recommend.

It also had a Puerto Rican actor in brownface, for that extra level of WTFery.

I now listen to podcasts to STOP me doing math (as that way lies madness). Music just blends into my mental background and doesn’t keep me appropriately distracted. Got caught up recently on Bad Blood and I just started Maintenance Phase.

Now let’s talk about Courtney Love! Did you know she couldn’t possibly have created her own music without Kurt’s help and was also responsible for his death?
