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

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.

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

Good domekeeper joke ;)

This one gets me every time

How did you find crowdstrikes test plan?

I’ve seen some produce with a sticker showing PLU and a barcode. Is the barcode in that case just an encoding of the PLU or something grower specific?

It’s warm!

Damn draculas

Mathias Wandel on YouTube made some good videos a few years ago about maximizing airflow through a house with fans. One big finding was that rather than having a fan directly in a window or door pointing out it is actually best to have it a few meters away and directed at the opening. That allows the fan’s airstream pull in and start moving much more air in the room out the opening. He used strips of paper hanging in doorways around the house and also I think took anemometer readings to get good measures of the airflow.

I think the general theory is to run the fans starting in the evening once the air temp outside is lower than inside, then close up the house in the morning to trap the cool overnight air?

Haha I thought that birdy was standing on a cyber truck stranded at sea for a minute

This is verrry niche but Live from Moosejaw is what looks to be a YouTube comedy series that’s just starting up about a long time local hockey broadcaster who gets saddled with a big city equivalent on his talk show. I enjoyed the teasers/setup they were showing before today’s premiere episode https://youtube.com/@LivefromMooseJaw?si=BvgpECdEEltcKlY4

Criminal that his channel doesn’t have more subs

When I was strugging with motivation in getting out to go for a run or whatever I found “Just do it” to be fairly effective. Only later realizing I was lifting the Nike slogan. Still, it works for me.

Vanishing Point

December from '22 not '23. The image was from a few months after he took over twitter and was still going on about that stuff and how it was doing all these useless things that needed to be removed or rewritten. I just remembered another one about how he was going on about a single request to twitter causing thousands of RPCs or something? I think that’s not really unheard of in a microservices infrastructure and it’s not like they’d be synchronous. There’s probably tons of calls that go to things like tracking, analytics, or cross DC sharing I would imagine for such a large and high volume service like twitter.
