It’s the number one downloaded app for iPhone when I checked earlier today.

While I do agree that it’s a good time to quit short form video, I prefer the medium for recipes ever since SEO ruined searching for printable recipes.


Have you been to an AI drive through yet?


You can get a basic flip phone from tracfone with a year of service (calls and text only, no mobile data) for $20-40. You can keep that plan but change to a regular smartphone and use google family app for parental controls.


I use the power setting to soften butter without melting it.


If I want to buy something like that I set an alert on slickdeals.net Like everything else it used to be better years ago, but there are still some genuine great deals and lots of insight if you’re willing to sift through the comments.

When I was looking for a fridge a year or so ago I heard that Samsung was trying to fix their bad appliance rep and quality of parts had gone up, but I went with a different brand.

There’s been an issue the last few years of fiberglass escaping through the cover on memory foam mattresses. If I was mattress shopping I’d probably still get foam, but look for one without fiberglass or find some kind of allergy cover to at least contain it.


I just ordered this same type of butterfly for my kid to hatch at home. I’m not sure where they are shipping from, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a non native variety being sold.


You can buy tiny tablets to add to the water that prevent mosquito larva from developing but don’t harm anything else. I’ve used the Mosquito Killer larvicide in my patio pond for years and it works well. Garden centers sometimes have pond sections with water plants like hyacinth (very invasive), water lettuce, lily.


I'm doubtful of the "...but don't harm anything else" statement. Why do you believe this statement to be true?



Bottled water is most often filtered municipal water anyway.


Strange because I think brother did exactly what’s described in the article to me, and their toner is expensive as hell. I wouldn’t have bought it if there wasn’t a cheap generic available or if I knew they would suddenly claim all generic cartridges as empty. I think they may still have some printers that use the old kind of cartridges without chips.

Eeek! All of the reports i read about my model (3770) before buying it (Oct. or Nov. 2023) claimed that it worked fine with 3rd-party toner, and Amazon is full of merchants selling alternatives. That model is a few years old now, though - it's certainly possible that Brother's stance has changed with newer models or that a recent firmware update changed that policy on this model. i guess i'll find out when i eventually go to replace the ones which came with it :/.


I see more and more DVD collections on TikTok lately. I’m not sure how widespread it is but I think DVDs are coming back. It can be hard to find specific movie or shows streaming anymore even when willing to buy a digital copy and hope if doesn’t get taken away when you cancel prime or whatever.


Yeah, I'm buying DVD's again cause I can't stream a lot of my old faves any more, I'm not alone. If you want something older they're just disappearing, or you have to subscribe to watch one show.


Man, I'd pay someone to take away all these DVDs lying around that we never watch
