Maybe my old apartment was drafty enough that I didn’t notice lol

My furnace wakes me up in the middle of the night when it kicks on I haaate it.

We usually use our wood stove when it’s below freezing whenever possible

I think I would still take it over forced air/furnace. It’s the same either too hot/too cold issue, but with the added anxiety trigger of the sound and feeling of hot dusty air suddenly blasting into the room.

Wood stove is my fave, followed by radiator baseboards - they were so gentle & quiet

I knew Zak Brown failed the “show me who your friends are” test pretty badly but trotting out his friendship with Novak Djokovic really sealed that deal for me

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking across a microscope slide. 🫧🐻🧪

The funny part is I have TERRIBLE eyesight

This clicks nicely with my affection for the I Love Hue game that was making the rounds ages ago. Apparently this is a good score and I wish I knew how to use this power for good

Give it a go - if your brain is like mine you could do this all day and ignore all your chores.

Brand new clothing hauls for content can suck it. Buy second hand - save your money and a tiny bit of the planet.

Besides, it’s probably going to be worlds better quality

Found a pair of barely-worn Blundstones in my size for $27 at the thrift yesterday and I’ll be cruising off that particular high for a while

I’ve recently taken to shows where there are either no disagreements or stupid high-stakes misunderstanding, and if there are, they’re mostly resolved by the end of the episode and honestly I can’t go back. I don’t need a season of “if they actually talked to each other this would be resolved.”

I got a 0.0029 - I found I weirdly struggled with the periwinkles and salmon/cantaloupe colours.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

Use code "THANKYOU" when checking out everywhere as it's a safe bet it'll work somewhere.

And by somewhere I mean in real shops to the checkout staff. And by "use" I mean saying it out loud to get the exclusive rewards of good vibes all round

I hope that people stop Jon Hamm in the street and ask him to say the line from his casino gambling site ad instead of Mad Men now.

I want to see his face when they want to take a video of him saying “real time slots and Rakin’ Bacon”

My hairdresser is going crazy with the AI pictures - especially when brides are coming in for a consult and she has to tell them that style is impossible for human hair let alone the client’s hair

@tsnofficial.bsky.social cutting to commercial every time Bernie Collins is asked for her input from the race wall is pretty fitting for International Women’s Day.

The fact that so many services list the autoplayed shows under “continue watching” is wild. No Apple for the millionth time I did not want to see the first 30 seconds of Careme because I didn’t hit the back button fast enough, and I don’t want to watch more of it now

Writing a wedding card for friends’ eldest daughter and can’t think of anything better than the “if any of you hurts any of my new friends” speech from Miss Congeniality

Yeah I figured it was to do with the Sky Sports feed

Weird I’m on Rogers too. Just lucky I guess!

Thanks for weighing in!

Weird. Who’s your cable provider?

It was so bad for Practice that I ended up not watching the whole thing because it was annoying me and I hoped it was a one-off. Then the same thing but a little better for Quali. Here’s hoping it’s not like this for the rest of the season.

Is anyone else watching F1 on Sky Sports on TSN and finding the audio just awful??
