i used to listen to the freakonomics podcast and one time they did a live show and the host tried to do some crowd work by making fun of some guy's belt and it didn't land. pretty sure that's the last episode i listened to

i have a theory that traffic increases at one minute per minute. so if you leave 15 minutes earlier it takes 15 minutes longer to get there and you arrive at precisely the same time

instead of hundreds of induction coils that waste half of the energy, maybe try overhead wires

it seems like these days computers ignore every other click. it's like using a pentium 3 with a 5400 rpm hard drive that's in the middle of defraging

us electric kettles are slower than uk ones but they're still twice as fast as a stovetop kettle

Coriolus Nimrod @coriolusn.bsky.social · 4d

American kitchens have all of those things. We have stovetop kettles rather than electric ones because our electricity is at 120 rather than 240 volts and electric kettles don't work well here. We call tea towels "dishtowels." Just a different name. Pepper mills are ubiquitous.

if you have a landlord special dishwasher like I do I don't think powdered detergent is an option. I find completely undissolved granules left on the dishes and have to run the cycle again without detergent to rinse them
