This story has extra juice when you know the pretext behind "operation Midway Blitz"

And now I'm back on my other bullshit

Lucky for you my lazy ass also kept the scoops and they're different in several suspicious ways.

You're probably sick of hearing about dishwasher powder... so let's talk about laundry detergent. I'm a lazy ass who can't be bothered to throw away old boxes sometimes but look what that laziness hath wrought. just why exactly is one box good for 80 loads but the other does 89, hmm?

I'm mad I forgot to include this fun little tidbit in my various videos.

Re-posting out of a thread: It is a weird phenomenon for me to find myself having to argue this point as I thought it was self-evident but apparently not. Big corporations would rather you buy more of their product and they found a perfect way to make sure you buy more.

Another satisfied customer!

AH! Dishwashers exist primarily to make living with traditional dinner ware easier. It's the anti-single-use-item machine. The pods are like "but what if we force some single-use items into your routine?" I think that's why I hate them so much.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

roses are red big laughs are hearty

Well, I've proven Big Pod wrong, I've finally got my favorite gadget again (my Pebble watch), election outcomes look pretty neat... haven't felt this good in a while that's for sure

I knew people were going to be annoying about this in the comments so I was prepared for that, but for the record...

BTW, I would really like @consumerreports.org to watch this video and perhaps start breathing down the necks of those big companies for forcing everyone into using pre-dosed products. That's the opposite of pro-consumer, imo. youtu.be/DAX2_mPr9W8

Folks, I have a new video today where I'm very excited to announce a new dishwasher powder on the market. Why am I so excited? Because it's vindicated every single one of my detergent opinions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAX2...

This post brought to you in part by all the goddamn drivers who somehow can't see the big thick white line they're supposed to stop *behind.*

Apropos of nothing in particular, I'm noticing an uptick in people asking questions in the replies to posts which already have replies which which already asked that question and already got an answer... so here's your reminder to look for things.

In bits of good news, the legislature passed parking reform in Illinois! I think the governor still has to sign it but this is cool chi.streetsblog.org/2025/10/31/i...

happy baseball to all who celebrate

I mean, sometimes less really is more

We are so back

Hey, that's me. Touching an EV-1 like it's an everyday occurrence

A funny reality check, but still not as funny as coming out with a supposed taxi that's a fucking two-seater.

I'm actually quite impressed it took nearly 4 years for this to happen, especially since the second key almost never gets used

Back on my bullshit

whoa

OK, having heard a report on some AI bracelet which is always recording audio with the idea that you could go back and audit your day's interactions or ask it questions about what you did that day... look if you actually want this I think you're forgetting what it means to be human.

I would like to follow this up with my firmly-held and very Midwestern opinion that automated in-ground irrigation systems for single family homes are rich people nonsense, and this colors my thoughts.

People with irrigation systems for their lawn who complain online about how expensive their water bills are from all that watering sure are an odd bunch

Why am I just now learning a hurricane (technically a typhoon) hit Alaska? I saw a story of some flooding but not that it was a dang hurricane that caused it

The kind of brain that can look at this wanton destruction of a quintessentially American symbol and think "looks cool, boss" is the same kind of brain that watched all of Star Trek and somehow didn't notice how woke the show is. 6th grade reading level, and all that.

guys we have a great opportunity to turn "dumps brown liquid" into a euphemism and I don't think we should waste it

Creators who make videos showcasing recipes they've compiled for those on extreme budgets and create printable zines with those recipes they encourage others to distribute are doing the work. My thanks to them.

Many hundreds of people were out protesting in my sleepy corner of the burbs, in fact there were four demonstrations along a roughly five mile stretch of road going through three towns you've never heard of. So that's pretty cool. And pretty good.

This is a fantastic write-up of our region's transit issues and why focus on the suburbs is Actually Important (especially liked the note that there are about 4X as many suburb-to-suburb commuters as there are suburb-to-city commuters)

I don't know what exactly it means, but a three-sentence YouTube comment (which could easily fit in a single Bluesky post) that ends with "sorry for writing a whole paragraph, lol" probably means something and I'm not sure it's good.

I experience a very special and intense kind of irritation whenever I see recently-built buildings with *decorative gas lamps* which are not only wasting natural gas but also aren't even producing useful light. Just a fancy flame burning because fancy.

Don’t let this go @housedemocrats.bsky.social

I have another video today! It's about old-school video projectors and how amazing they were. Seriously, not only is it almost unbelievable that this even works, but it's doing full HD video with incredibly good image quality. It's also a royal PITA. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms8u...

this looks great

Where are those "state's rights" people at?

This is a hill I will die on. youtu.be/fDvxq7IF1W4

🌟 very sad that my dear friend Jane Goodall has died. we were 1st in contact via fax letters to her home in Bournemouth, UK. we met in 1999, hit it off. she inspired me to write 3 songs: Counting On You, Roots & Shoots Everywhere and my tribute, Jane Jane (with her own chimp sounds). #RIPJaneGoodall

I've been working on a new video for a while. Starting a new series today! We're gonna explore all the technology you find in ordinary cars, and we're starting with the catalytic converter. youtu.be/Aytf6ARcs8s

Say what you will about the general quality of goods we have here in the United States but it's undeniable we have the freshest hells on the planet.

I had never seen nor heard this 1960's Looney Tunes title card until just now (excuse the lazy recording)

Look, I didn't expect to experience the "you're in the classroom in nothing but your underwear" dream from a third-person perspective but I feel like that's what's happening at the UN right now.

[checks in on yonder website] Well then.

Man, the worst thing is I'm working on some very cool stuff with some very cool people and despite that I just feel like shit. Gonna have to unplug for a bit. Be kind to your neighbors and rude to bigots.
