The other thing about adding frozen peas at the last minute — they’ll keep their bright green colour. (In the same way that broccoli is gorgeous when lightly steamed but turns a depressing shade of dull green when overcooked.)

The first question is, do you trust your supervisor? Are they fundamentally kind, or are they controlling and fault-finding? That drives everything else.

That was the one heartening hint we’ve had that Barron might be a kind person — that he spent that time making a little kid happy (while the adults around him who were actually responsible for the child were busy ignoring it).

I came across an old flip phone whose battery is leaking. It’s not a removable battery, as far as I can tell, so I’m stymied about what to do with it now that the thing is leaking.

I’ve been working off an old home use copy of Microsoft Office 10 for several years now (purchased via an employee program). My Microsoft Office .pst file contains many precious e-mails from my parents, both of whom have now passed away. Because the .pst format will be dead the next time I upgrade, I know it’s a…

This month, Netflix gets [...] the second and third Lord of the Rings films. (You can’t get Fellowship on Netflix. Weird!)

Quickest. Relationship dump. EVER.

I actually hope they come back to The Blip, because there were a lot of knock-on effects they never bothered to address (or forgot about). For example, the entire Parker and Pym households were snapped out of existence — but 5 years later they were able to go back to their houses and everything was just waiting intact…

And now Aunt May is so upset that Happy dumped her, no one in the Parker household will ever mention his name again!

Tom Tomorrow’s famous fridge magnet!

“Bad dates.”

Same issue here, less the cats :(

Came here to say this. Not to be a shill or anything, but these are ridiculously useful. And not just for women’s handbags! You can use these unisex marvels to hang up almost anything (holds up to 44 lbs, I think it is?) on the fly. I was super grateful I had one of these the last time I was in a washroom stall with…
