I try to get in 30-40 minutes walks with entertaining audiobooks on my earbuds. I breathe fresh air and think about anything but life.

Occasionally I find myself trapped in thoughts and realize that I haven't been listening to the book, so I back it up and try again

I have the same issue. I think they add the flame grilled flavor through the magic of additives and it probably flavors your stomach for hours

Just finished recaulking the bathtub. I hate the job with a passion. When we bought the house it had acrylic caulk and I'm still scraping that off 10 years later. Silicone went on well, so hopefully it will last a while.

Next on the list is to replace the guts of a toilet. It flushes ok, but takes forever to refill so double flushes are out of the question. I'm 80% confident that it's the internals and not the water supply, but only one way to find out.

I was thinking it drains water away from a level 4x4 post so that the post lasts longer

In the next 100 years the covid vaccine will have killed nearly 100% of us

Wait you aren't/weren't called a tromboner?

What infuriates me almost as much as chili on spaghetti is that the bowl is so full you can't possibly eat it without dropping cheese and chili all over the plate underneath and probably all over the table.

I just saw an ad for TurboTax saying it's free for anyone that didn't use them last year. I haven't dug into the details yet

Jokes on you, my 6 button doesn't work so 160 gets me 10 seconds

Any sort of collar on a shirt except surprisingly dress shirts. Also tags on shirts, but those are slowly disappearing so I'm getting the option to not buy tagged shirts.

I blame it on an itchy wool sweater I wore when I was a kid that is my earliest sense of the feeling.

Just talking/thinking about itchy collars can give me goosebumps!

I would love to try out: Deus Ex Deus Ex Human Revolution Endless Space Collection

They allied this stuff to my street. They just applied it and said it only needs 15 minutes to dry and I was clear to go. I said well I won't risk it I'll go to the store for a few min. I came back an additional 15 min later and left similar tracks to my house.

Either the worker was an idiot or they prepared the material wrong. Either way at least I went slow enough to not get splatter.

So whenever I play Wordle, I start with 3 words that cover a huge amount of letters in the alphabet. I use SPARE, LIGHT, MOUND every time unless I can easily guess the answer earlier.

It feels like I'm cheating, so I was wondering what others think.

 

Does anyone know the best way to make this ramp nonslip? We get a fair amount of ice and snow and there are a couple elderly folks using the ramp.

We tried a basic nonslip rubber mat, but the grooves just hold ice and snow so don't really help.

Our current ideas are maybe adding rubber stair treads every board or two, or maybe tacking little strips of wood to every board.

 

I often follow a web link and then click on another link on the web page. When I swipe back, I expect to go back to the original web page, but it goes all the way back to Lemmy page where I started.

I am using Google Pixel 6, this is only way to go back, so not sure if this is unique to Pixels.
