  • I wish I had record of it.

    They had reached out to me after years of no contact to catch up and we chatted back and forth for a day just telling each other what was new in our lives and how good it was to talk after so lomg. Then immediately after, they cut me off completely for the last few years of their life. I’ll never know exactly why, but I suspect they just didn’t want to burden me and others with all the things they were struggling with (a string of bad luck so uniquely terrible anyone that knew them would know who I was talking about if I said everything I knew about here).

    A couple months before they passed, they completely dropped off the face of the earth and their Facebook was hacked. When whoever now owned the account got tipped off that I knew they were a scammer, they blocked me and I lost all of our message history.

    I have never hated a complete stranger more than whoever this person is.



  • I am a lazy launderer and my partner has loads of clothes of various fabrics.

    My trick that has never let me down:

    wash everything on cold

    When rotating to the dryer, indiscriminately pick out any tops that don’t feel like regular “t shirt” fabric, pick out all bottoms that aren’t obviously cotton, pick out all wool, pick out all dresses, button up shirts, skirts, or “full body” garments as regardless of what fabric they feel like they tend to be more sensitive to the heat.

    The rest can go in the dryer, but hang dry all the stuff you picked out.

    I might end up hang drying more than I need to, but it beats the hell out of checking the tag on every individual garment.



  • Hasn’t that always been the case with the warioware series? The games are always a wild mix of off-the-wall mini games that often don’t stick the landing, but for people that enjoy the series that’s the exact charm of them. I would guess if you’ve already played and enjoyed a few games from the series you’ll feel much the same about this one. I’d just check reviews to make sure they haven’t wildly changed the format in a way you’re not interested in, but otherwise Nintendo has been pretty consistent on what to expect with this series.






  • Elmlea plant based double cream

    We’ve been drinking heavy cream/double cream/whipping cream in our coffee for years but started trying out some plant based alternatives to a lot of our foods a few years ago. The only one we kept going with was this cream. Exact same cost as the dairy version, and tasted exactly the same.

    I wish I could speak towards other brands, this was the only one we tried and stuck with it. I think it might be UK only though…
