  • It’s hilarious that people think I’m some kind of problem solver for all of their random issues they send over. I’ve even told them when they send me their errors - I literally copy and paste it into google (and now bing b/c google is becoming cluttered with garbage). Some of them just can’t wrap their head around just googling the error code or error string.

    Maybe the one thing we can do is filter out the irrelevant answers, and choose the correct/closest solution, that way they don’t have to wade into the mess



  • I’ve got a plastic version, but if I need to shred a block it hurts my hands after a while, because of how light it is.

    I bought one of these to solve that problem (this also has a finer cylinder for a thinner grate):

    If I ever need more than a pound, I can probably use the disc on my food processor, although the last time I tried, I didn’t freeze my cheese prior, and ended up with a lot of smeared cheese on the disc 😬



  • I have a Pixel 7, and I couldn’t recommend it. I feel my Pixel 3a was much more responsive, and the bluetooth was much more reliable. The bluetooth on my P7 is frustratingly bad, it restarts randomly several times an hour. It took me almost an entire day to get the pixel 3 watch registered and configured because it kept restarting before the process could complete. I’m to the point where I may need to go back to wired headphones/cables w/ USB-C to 3.5mm adapter


  • Obligatory (there are several versions of this, but this is my favourite 😁 ):

    A World War II RAF pilot is reminiscing before school children about his days in the air force.

    “In 1942,” he says, "the situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember, " he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these fokkers appeared.

    At this point, several of the children giggle.

    I looked up, and right above me was one of them. I aimed at him and shot him down. They were swarming. I immediately realized that there was another fokker behind me."

    At this instant the girls in the auditorium start to giggle and boys start to laugh. The teacher stands up and says, “I think I should point out that ‘Fokker’ was the name of the German-Dutch aircraft company”

    “That’s true,” says the pilot, “but these fokkers were flying Messerschmits.”
