No discussion about the button-on-the-back clip? That is the absolutely best way to hold my phone. I hold my phone safely to my ear, with the button between my second and third fingers with no pressure on either.

Can’t take a picture at work? Snip a few inches off a tendril, take it home and snap a photo of it.

Shed stuff is usually found at the back corners of every garage sale in the world. Shovels, rakes, saw horses are always easy to find.

I like Brady on a gridiron more then I dislike Payton Manning. I agree, Brady’s SNL sucked ass. Many episodes in the last decade have.

Jake from State Farm?!?

I went to his IMDB page where I found this nugget:

I love that Payton Manning thot he was going to pop up in a choice comedy bit, and yet today, the big discussion is whether or not Tom Brady is retiring and not whether or not Payton Manning hired some great comedy writers. As a life long Pats fan, I’m so happy when Payton Manning gets smacked.

I was hoping they could get Katie into a skit or two, but no such luck. To me, this season has been mostly a throw away, and the last night’s episode was a fine example of that again. Aidy is mostly lost on me, with her characters too similar to each other. Oh well. Who knew that I would laugh at something that Peyton…

Yes. I read this article because I have an iPhone.

Chickens have ears?

If you have a boiler system in your house, there’s another set of pipes to deal with. Make sure they don’t freeze either. If you have power, great, you have heat. Most modern systems use an igniter, so if you lose power, you’ve got no heat, and you have some more pipes to drain, to avoid cracked pipes.

I have a psychotic neighbor who would be a hell of a person to ask about us, our house, or anything about the neighborhood. She hates us, and we hate her.

The cheap vodka spray is the first line of defense, leaving the piece on an unheated porch or garage for a week is the second.

Thanks for the heads up. We’re going detector shopping this weekend.

Okay, I have CO detectors on every floor. Do these detectors have a lifetime? Do they need to be replaced at an end of life?

...and for the movie not come out until after you’d died. Joining Asimov, who has had at least four projects come out in the decades since his death.

Most of the stores around me sell crap too, the stuff that my Kowalskis chain sells are freaking great. The rest of the deli stuff that they produce tends to be on the great side. They bake some fantastic cheesecakes too that my wife and I think about when we think about late night desserts.

What happens is you file a claim, and then you find out how much the claim damage really was, and if the agent is nice, they let you back out of the claim, and they wipe your file clean. We previously had had a similar claim where the insurance payout was like $140 they would cover and we got fucked that time.

Now we know what killed Meatloaf.

I really liked The King, The Timothee Chalamet movie from 2019. It sets up like the Shakespeare plays but is tighter plotted I guess. Highly recommended, Chalamet is very good in it, as is Robert Pattinson too.
