  • I’ve got an Axolotl. Not sure where that falls on the spectrum of exotic pets.

    They are pretty easy to get ahold of and apart from a chiller to keep the water at an appropriately cool temperature they are easy to take care of. That being said, every person that has come over to our place reacts with something along the lines of “WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING!”.

    All I really need to do for it is top off the water every day or two and once a month or so replace 20% of the water with fresh water. It’s not even that critical to do that much water maintenance I just like to go for as clear water as possible.

    Feeding is easy as well. Optimal feeding is once every 2-3 days but they can survive MUCH longer without food. Studies have shown up to 3 weeks is doable. This means if we are going to go on vacation for a week or a bit longer I just feed him once before we leave and then don’t worry about it.





  • I had just sold a car and was flush with cash so before going to buy my new one I bought every single pillow I could find in every home goods store near me and several from online. I then spent the next month studiously comparing pillows to find the right one for me.

    The final two came down to a $15 pillow and a $190 pillow.

    After deciding all the other pillows got returned and then went and got my new car.

    In things as subjective as a pillow high quality is rather Nebulous.

    For something like a woodworking tool high quality often matters far more.

    The worst life pro tip I’ve ever received? Listen to the experts, they have made it their job to know the best things and you can’t go wrong with what they say.







  • Oh I’m absolutely certain they have gotten worse over time. We have had the same setup for YEARS with no changes and it’s been getting worse.

    We would say “Alexa, praise the sun” which is our phase for all lights, maximum brightness and at the beginning it worked one hundred percent of the time.

    Now it’s a 3 way roll of the dice whether it works, gives us a description of what the sun is, or plays a song called “Raise The Son”.




  • Reverse image searching this for… reasons, shows an original post date of a Facebook screenshot 2 years ago. Image generators were absolutely in their infancy and you would be lucky if you got a single finger with the correct amount on knuckles let alone the amount of hands here with the correct amount of fingers.
