IKEA has a number of displays or showcases to demonstrate what their products look like in use. I believe the joke is that there is no toilet paper in the mock bathroom that the speaker has just shit in.

Fun tip, you can dump a bucket of water to flush the toilet. Useful if you’re ever working on your water supply after taco night.

Reminds me of Desmond’s speech in Smiling Friends. https://youtu.be/ccGwa900AHc

Some places have restrictions on the size of installed signs. That’s why you see signs slapped on the side of buses, shopping containers, trailers, etc.

I recently used the self checkout in an Aldi and it just… didn’t care. It was fantastic! I left most the items in my cart and just scanned everything with a hand-held scanner then paid and bagged everything at my car.

Then I went to another store and they have plastic bag holders welded in the scale area and it complained that my head was an unexpected item in the bagging area with a top-down camera perspective to prove it.

It’s been 14,000 years since a creature was born with the ability to reach that deep or a proper fear of what they will find if they do. Environmental pressure is a hell of a driver of evolution.

Weird. I greet mine like Mufasa on the edge of the cliff. “BROTHER!”

I have yet to be thrown to my doom.

At least once. If they’re monogamous it could be as high as three times.

Step 1: Take pictures so that you can look back when you want to. The items are gone, but the memories are not. Step 2: Give them to someone who will appreciate them. Tell them the story so they can truly know what they meant to your family.

The hairless, weak-ass, adopted weirdo? Ain’t no clapping happening there.

Funny thing, I had already set my preference to “newest first” and the change was respected after they implemented the new setting.

A smart thermostat would likely have record of the set and actual temperatures.

Or does that fractional reaction cause the brain to shift forward more than it would if they had not reacted? Could that reaction lead to worse brain injuries? Makes me wonder.

Musk, Tesla, and cybertruck were my most recent additions. I do not have the bandwidth to care about one auto company who is bad at making cars.

Yes, but this time it will be on purpose.

Oh fuck yeah. Skype used to throw errors when the advertisements scripts didn’t run correctly. I remember getting dozens of pop ups when the ad changed to something new. To my knowledge, they haven’t put ads in Teams, yet. They first need to kill the competition a bit; really set the hook before they reel you in.

For patients that are feeling up to it, a better score will be assigned to your medical history if you do a sick flip while entering the MRI.

The podcast makes it harder to hear the other voices. It’s just science!

The health data could be used against you in court.

Huh… That would solve one of my greatest anxieties with self checkout in a busy store.
