I used to work with a guy who peeled his bananas from the bottom up. He is easily one of the top 5 strangest people I’ve worked with, and that says a lot because I’ve worked with a lot of weird individuals. I’m not saying my sample of one is representative of the whole upside down eating banana population, but he does…

I worked pretty closely with my English colleagues in those days, and they very much did not like being considered part of Europe. I don’t know if that is true among the broader population, or if they were just Brexit types. 

I found a decent burger in my time over there. I also had the worst burrito of my life. That said, I don’t mean to rip on English food, I ate a lot of awesome things over there. 

I also prefer separate handles to adjust hot and cold, but if there is a significant pressure difference you are visiting places with shitty plumbing. There should be a pressure equalizer in the fixture that prevents this. 

It isn’t still a law though is it? I do recall visiting a few places that had regular combined taps. 

Bit by what? And I do not live on any coast. 

Don’t they have squirrels and birds? The way the squirrels are around my house I think I’d have about 15 enter my house per day if I had open windows with no screens. 

At the time of my trip I was also very bothered by the fact that the bed in my hotel did not have a top sheet. This was 10 years ago, and that has also become much more common in the US over that timeframe. 

Don’t people end up with all sorts of insects, rodents, and birds in their homes during open window season?

I work in the auto industry in the US. A while back I went on a business trip to England. One of my British colleagues asked me if I was a “petrol head” and I had no idea what that meant, or that it was a common term there. I’m still not sure it’s a common term over there.

I would just like to know how to get my messages to sync up between my phone and Mac again. It used to work fine, but now my Mac thinks I have hundreds of unread messages. The messaging app still works fine when I use it, meaning new messages pop up and I can respond. Still, when I first turn on the computer a ton of…

Aren’t all cats hostile to everyone? 

When we were in the process of buying our house the owners were home during the inspection. They tried to stay out of the way, but it was very awkward. 

It actually does come in handy quite often, as I am a person who avoids handwashing things at all costs. 

Have definitely never lost a dish. I suspect the lost teaspoons have ended up in the garbage. That would be a bit harder to do with a plate. 

We have the exact set of spoons in this picture, and they are great. We also own two sets of round measuring spoons. Why do we own three sets of measuring spoons you ask? In our house the teaspoon seems to have the magically ability to run away from home. 

You can also buy purpose built litterbox cabinets. My wife and I were forced into buying one several years ago. When we first moved into our house it was just the two of us, the cat, and three bedrooms. A spot for the litterbox was not an issue. We had a pet door on our utility room, and she went in there. Then we…

What can I say, we are buying masks for our kids from a company called Vida. They make one of the few masks for kids that are FDA listed. This is what they say in regards to recycling

Regarding cost, masks are now eligible to be purchased using HSA/FSA accounts. I learned that after I ordered $60 worth of masks for my kids.

I buy lettuce in heads because IMO the quality is significantly better than the bagged stuff. I don’t notice a lot of difference with spinach. As I said, I buy it for the convenience of not needed to rinse and dry it. It’s what keeps me eating salads for lunch. Regarding lasting longer, I don’t have an issue with the…
