A left handed measuring tape is really nice in theory but actually it often ends up being kind of backwards to how you'd want it if holding the tape in your right hand and pencil in left. I've actually heard some right handed carpenters prefer left handed tapes for that reason.

Yes, though I've managed to train myself to twist the knife slightly in the 'wrong' direction while cutting to counteract the way it naturally wants to cut. Similar to how you can use right handed scissors left handed if you pull with your thumb and push with your fingers instead of letting them do the natural motion while cutting.

How old are they? We bought an LG TV 1 or 2 years ago and it has a lot of online features and keeps prompting me to make an account and accept various terms and conditions for their advertising or to let them listen to the microphone and such. I think it's mostly optional but they don't make it easy to opt out

the newer chemistries like lithium iron phosphate are much more stable and not prone to thermal runway apparently. They are not as energy dense as lithium ion but that doesn't matter so much for a non-mobile application.

I scrolled a bit too fast and the top half of the cat went off screen then I thought it was melting icecream dripping down the side of the couch 😂

Oops got stuck in another lather, rinse, repeat loop

Ie read that the cables don't reach and you end up having to take up 2 spots normally. Not sure if it's because you have to park one slot over or if you have two park half way between spots though.

Hmm haven't seen that yet personally but I'm sure YouTube is always trying things to get around adblockers and probably A/B testing it on various accounts or countries. You could try making sure unlocks rules/definitions are up to date.

Unrelated but I also have been using sponsor block which skips over in-video sponsors which is nice. Though it's community updated so very new videos might not have the sponsor segments marked yet.

FTL. At least until you've beaten the game several times

Me too, and I remember in the mid 2000's before flat screens took off the biggest CRT you could get was 36", or there may have been a 40" but it was ultra expensive. One thing though is that the wider aspect ratio of modern tvs inflates the size number if you were to watch 3:4 aspect shows on a modern tv you are losing a bunch of viewing area on the sides.

Regardless, modern tvs are indeed insanely huge, and I'm loving it.

Cool though still a bit confusing, like what's a "Device file"? Also so many of those are so similar in use like /usr and /sbin. Why would one be used over another?

This was a few years ago but I was able to google something like "vacuum repair" to find this place where we got ours. They had lots of used repaired ones but we had to hunt around the shop a bit til we found the one we liked

We went to a little shop that repairs vacuums and such and found an old Electrolux cannister vacuum from the 70s or 80s for relatively cheap. Apparently they are quite popular with people who clean houses professionally as they last a long time and are repairable. It's a bit of a pain to drag around the cannister but really not too bad over all and works very well.

I think they are actually molasses flavoured toffee if it's the ones I'm thinking of. Always left to the very last, only to be consumed in the more dire of candy draughts

If the reaction of the kids who come to my door is any indication the best is ring pops. You can sometimes hear kids shouting to other ones down the street "hey, this place has ring pops!"

Worst: those molasses toffees with the orange/white/black wrapper

Yeah torn down for SkyTrain expansion wasn't it?

Good domekeeper joke ;)

Don't worry about them being kidneys, they look more like rocky mountain oysters to me

Reading this headline as a foreigner is rather amusing. I thought they were referring to some kind of small scale modified version of cow-tipping but for flies.
