    I only found this out the other night because my fridge went dead silent for a long time. I thought it was borked, so I was peering deep into the freezer when I saw The Gates of Hell through the grate.

    (Okay, so full disclosure, I had smoked some pot, but it totally looked like when Dana opened the fridge to Zuul before she was The Gatekeeper.) 😱😱😱

    Anyways, turns out it was in defrost mode (which happens twice a day), and that involves some elements going orange or something. I know that’s vague-- I looked it up, but as I mentioned, I was high, so I only kinda remember, lol.

    Edit:

    The refrigerator activates a heating element located near the evaporator coil. This element warms the coils, causing any ice buildup to melt.



  • I’m learning Polish, and spelling (rz dz sz cz ł and ą ę ż ś) is all fine for me-- the thing I struggle with is the grammatical cases. The fact that the ending of everything changes is what has caused me to give up twice 🥺

    I will pick it up again, but I sucked at the Masculine/Feminine thing with French, and this is a lot more difficult.

    CAT:

    • KOT
    • KOTA
    • KOTU
    • KOTEM
    • KOCIE <— (This is where I quit: Locative case took the T away WTF?!)

    Przepraszam moja drogi!!










  • North is their answer… Ask them if Canada is north enough…

    Where we had that Hell Dome^TM from June 25 to July 1, 2021 and 526 people died after it reached 50°c and didn’t cool off at night-- making it “the deadliest weather event in Canada to date.”

    Or how about when it flooded so bad in the same place, 6 months later, that thousands of animals died, 20k people needed to be evacuated, and roads broke-- cutting off the Greater Vancouver Region from the rest of the Province.

    Heatwave

    Flood

    North won’t save anyone 😬



  • Your comment reminded me:

    I was looking up when the VP debate is in the US, lamenting the olden days when a bolded date would simply appear at the top of the results.

    I’m just clicking results and skimming for the date in the 1st paragraph, but nope. Every site is like fucking recipe pages now with this nonsense filler.

    Anyways, third result down, DDG gives me this verbose MSN bot-written trash. It actually listed all the dates (of which there were four), that were considered for the debate, but not selected. The 5th date listed in the paragraph was the debate date.

    It was a perfect example of completely useless information that a human would never consider including in an answer.
