If you send a follow request, I will look at your page and see what sort of things you post before I accept. Don't take this personally. I just want to be sure my home is not cluttered with things I'm not interested in. That's why I prefer Mastodon: I can control what shows up.

"Automatic Beyond Belief"

It surely is. And so much great engineering went into such a simple appliance. In production from 1949 until 1997, with a brief reboot in Australia in the early 2000's.

The phrase, "they don't make 'em like they used to" is an understatement for this humble toaster.

Trump declares he'll keep killing leaders until they are all gone. Then he'll pick one of the remaining sheep. Who would deal with him after this?

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." -- Salvor Hardin

So, I was looking to upgrade some gear I own. So I read reviews, etc. I decide on a product, then head to the 'Zon to find it. Then, I used Camel^3 to get a price history. Wow. What happened at the start of 2025 that raised the price by $180!? Now I'm tariffied of prices.

I guess this has to wait for prices to go down...sometime in 2029-2030.

I just finished Season 1 of "Occupied", a Norwegian TV series about the Russians joining with the EU to force Norway to produce oil and gas for them.

Fantastic show, although a bit too close to home right now. But it's a nice change to see Fascism as _fiction_ again.

You may have to search for "Okkupert" to find it.

Fresh biscuits for breakfast!

These are quick, easy, and should be a life skill. Forget those tubes of pressurized dough. Not only do you get a quick breakfast, it's the basis for so many other things. If you learn this, you can make pizza dough, soda bread, pancakes, waffles, etc.

I'm really glad the simple truth about this product is that it is free from no additives. They could at least tell me which additives I'm no longer free from.
