Yikes! Is that what it is now? I got it a decade ago for $5.

Sleep as Android

It’s just a really great alarm clock app, but with tons of other sleep tracking functionality. I’ve always had trouble sleeping through my alarms, but I never do with this.

Vasectomy if you don’t plan on having kids. Also consider mental healthcare. Everybody could use a little bit now and then.

Definitely. She’s smart enough to play dumb to get what she wants.

4 week board and train program. It cost $4500.

Our standard poodle is a rescue that was heavily abused by her previous owner. She would get scared and bite. I figured the training would be cheaper than a lawsuit. It’s made a HUGE difference in her behavior.

The company pays dividends. You make money if the company succeeds, which is why stock was created in the first place.

The way it originally had value. You are loaning the company money and betting they are successful enough to pay you back with dividends.

I’m envisioning stock as a sort of non-transferable contract between you and a company. There would be no way to pass the stock to a third party.

Stock trading.

I am fine with companies issuing stock and with people selling that stock back to the company. Everything else should be illegal.

Young guys, invest in a good bed. Back pain sucks when you get older, so taking care of your spine early is important. Women are also much more likely to sleep with a guy that has a comfortable and inviting bed.

Sports bra season, closely followed by yoga pants season.

I used a convection toaster oven in the kitchen.

That fried the circuits of 1/3 of the house. Some amateur electrician tied in several new circuits into the same kitchen breaker. They used undergauged wire on top of it.

Cost us $6k to fix and that was a hell of a deal from some Covid - unemployed union electricians. They put in 3 breakers where there was one before. The electrician had a hell of a time tracking where all the lines came from. That included a 3ft fireball shooter ng out of the wall because a line was love when it shouldn’t have been.

I just checked and he was a Jedi but eventually fell to the dark side and took over a planet.

There was even a Hutt Jedi

Quick way of finding out if your date has any STIs.

You could, but who is worried a bear will use their computer?

One of my favorite examples of the difficulty in idiot-proofing things comes from a national park ranger talking about the difficulty of designing a bear-proof garbage can. He said “There is considerable overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans.”

“Man, don’t you know? The law ain’t made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days - back in the real old days - it was just every man for himself, scrooblin’ and scrat-scroblin’ for the good stuff, the greenest valleys. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like ‘The rest of you, y’all scrats get sand.’ And that’s when they made the laws, you see? Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said ‘This is fair now, this is the law.’ Once they were winning, they changed the rules up.” —Jake the Dog, Adventure Time, “Ocarina”
