Random Thought of the Day

not to the Toobin level I guess

Evenbob probably needs a couple of dozen of these for his Walmart shopping. (though I don't think Walmart has this yet)

Read two stories of people who traded their way to a house from a paperclip. Rule is not to spend money on your way there. I suppose shipping is excluded cost. I think one was a tiny house. Not sure about the other one.

I knew a guy who collected cereal boxes. Only point being, eventually someone will want almost anything bad enough to give you something they no longer want.

Elderly in Japan die every year on this.

According to a 2020 letter in the medical journal Resuscitation, mochi accounts for up to 13.9% of foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO) cases in Japan. In Tokyo, 482 patients were hospitalized after chocking on the rice cakes over a span of five years.

In 2001, a woman saved her father's life when she used a vacuum cleaner to pull mochi from the 70-year-old man's throat.

SOOPOO, would you use a vacuum cleaner to remove an airway obstuction? If so, what brand? Hoover?

Didn't Bell & Howell use to be a legit company. Now they seem to put their name on cheesy 'as seen of TV' products.' I guess that's still a company.

It's okay, but for my fiancee' having this thing, I'd just use the light switch the old-fashioned way. I guess it somehow screws it up if I use the light switch, for some reason, and then she has to set the whatever-the-hell-it-is up again.

At least the bathroom is still a light switch.

Well I might consider getting Siri if they actually make it useful. Siri, make my wife shut-up.

Depending on how quality your sound system is in your house, you could ask Siri to play a particular song at max volume.
