I will straight up eat both of them out of the jar by the spoonful. I dropped my last jar of Marmite the other day and it shattered. It's really expensive in my country. Jar was practically full too. I was really unimpressed.

Yehhh... The older ones are pretty terrible. Bond frequently forcing himself on women who don't want his advances but then seemingly fall for him and do his bidding after being sexually assaulted. Thought the movies were cool as a kid but now really do not like watching them.

I've never understood fishing from a kayak. That is not the most stable platform in an ocean to begin with, at least not the ones I've used. Are low strength lines with small hooks used so that fish size is limited and if something big is hooked it just snaps the line instead of turning the kayak over?

Yup. I've got 3 Viofo a129 pro duo 4k cameras in different vehicles. First one I bought died in 3 months but was replaced under warranty and replacement still going a couple years later. It's really sunny where I am and one of the reasons I went Viofo was the ease that polarizing filters could be added to the cameras to cut screen glare when recording. It's so hot where I am that parking recording didn't work. The cameras just overheat when I try to do that.

My Viofo a129 pro runs so hot with 4k recording it requires premium high endurance sd cards. Lower spec cards get destroyed and stop recording. Samsung Pro Endurance 256 Gb cards have been working well for me in 3* Viofo a129 pro duo setups I have in different vehicles with the front cam recording 4k and rear 1080p.

Can't say I've ever had that problem using cordless tools for years. The Makita and Ryobi lithium batteries I use hold a storage state charge for months and are either ready to go or just need a quick top up charge. The chargers Makita includes with their tools (the kits) are really good fast chargers too. 45 mins from fully dead for a 5 Ah battery. The dual chargers will start at 500w if 2 batteries are being charged and the built in fans channel air through the batteries while charging.

Maybe 10+ years ago that was the case. Cordless, brushless, lithium hand drills will outperform equivalent sized corded drills and have for years. One of my Makita cordless drills came with an almost 18" handle due to the torque it can generate and that's 7 years old. It's only the really big sds max sized drills or core drills where corded might make sense if you're drilling massive holes in concrete all day.

They've only got "decent" in the North American market with more brushless tools and higher power batteries in the past couple of years. They're good diy household tools but not really tradesman grade. I'm mostly Makita but if I need a tool I'm not using much or don't need it to be super compact I'll happily get a Ryobi. I got 2* extended neck, brushless ratchets with 4* 2ah batteries for less than a Makita or Milwaukee bare ratchet tool when I needed to do some light auto work.

Genuinely curious as to why?

I grew up with getting hydrogen peroxide to clean all the gravel and dirt out followed by mercurochrome or gentian violet depending on what was available. Could be covered in orange or purple shit.

If you're in a job you can wfh do that for a few days after so you can ice frequently. Day 1 after the procedure wasn't too bad for me. It was days 2-5 where the swelling started which took a few weeks to go down. I popped some external stitches being too active too soon as well. Get sperm count checks after. It can take a while to flush everything out. I'm still registering live sperm counts 6+ months later somehow.

The cafeteria staff got really motivated to stop trays leaving the dining hall when the first heavy snow falls started when I was in college.

I've seen Cattle Egrets toss mice in the air and swallow them whole. Watched them eat centipedes too. They kill those first first and then toss them up and swallow them. Small snakes too.

I drive an Indian made car from a Japanese brand. Asked someone in the know why it wasn't sold in xyz market along with some other models from the same brand also made in India but others from the brand not made in India were sold in xyz. Response I got back: emissions. Sigh

Other way around. Matrix came out about 3 weeks before Columbine and there was media speculation about the influence of it and use of trench coats in Columbine

Lol, while scrolling this amazingly fun dump of weirdness I was wondering if op knew they'd posted an actual, as weird as it is, music video that was aired on music video channels when this song was popular. Well done on collating all this musical weirdness

Go press ctrl-alt-del on a Linux system. Fun times in production when a Windows admin does that at a Linux server console.

There is software to manage updates that does exactly this. Guess what, users still ignore the prompts to restart at a convenient time after saving their work and then act surprised and annoyed when the auto update software force reboots their machine after sending multiple warnings about the pending restart to finish updates and if they don't restart the machine, will force a restart at X time.

Yeh I've encountered the NES or SNES ones back in the day in US hotels.

Have been through this with my house. Contractor used the wrong tile cement for the type of tile and there were also a lot of voids under the tiles. Lines of tiles popped. Whole house had to be retiled 3 years after it was built. About 50% of the tiles came up completely clean of tile cement. Was fun times.

Had an ex employee contact us once asking for help getting back in to her Facebook account. She'd used her corporate email for it and then forgot her password. Her son and daughter in law had been killed in a car crash and she was trying to get back in to Facebook to get pictures of them. We reactivated get account to try and help but the Facebook emails never came in. She ended up losing all that content.

The non OEM blades I bought for my wife's car indicate replaceable inserts on the blades however I've not found anywhere that sells them either local or online. I would love to replace just the inserts because these blades came with a ton of plastic adapters that will just go to waste everytime I have to change the entire blade.

Rear blade in my country is always a dealer visit for any car. UV is always 10+ where I'm at too so the expensive OEM lasts 12-18 months if you're lucky.

Years ago I had a user regularly creating 250+ MB Excel docs doing lookups from multiple other Excel files and complaining his system was running slowly working on them. No surprise with everything going on in the background with this file. We had to switch to 64 bit Excel because the 32 bit was crashing due to running out of memory. Business app team refused to help creating a database for this user. Management insisted they be given a more powerful system instead. Didn't fix it unsurprisingly.

My wife just had her nose and part of her scalp done for basal cells. Was done by a plastic surgeon. Wicked stitch lines. Hopefully heals cleanly. The removed tissue was tested in real time mid procedure to ensure all basal cells removed in the area.

There are some loose rules to follow at these events. One of which is a max weight limit. Suspension may have pushed them over that. Another rule that I've seen used at some events is only bicycle wheels. At those events so many soap box wheels collapse when side loaded.

I work with computers and table saws. I also work with routers and routers. One router type concerns me more than the other. I do not own a saw stop. The rough sawn look of that wood annoyed me more than the fake hand.

I stay in a lot of Hilton brand hotels. They don't have chains, at least the ones I'm in. There's a dead bolt separate to the external lock and if you're lucky one of the metal flip tab things that replaces the chain. More often than not they don't have the flip tab thing. If I'm in a sketchy area and there is tile in front the door I'll balance a glass or mug on the inside. Keep meaning to invest in one of the wedge alarm things but haven't done that yet.
