    I woke up this morning having slept on my hand funny. It hurt a lot. Maybe 14 hours later, it still hurts.

    I think it might be permanent.

    When you get to the point where you can afford a nice new refridgerator, nice new refridgerators are exciting.

      One of the greatest compliments I have ever received was when a friend came over to my house for the first time for a hot pot party, opened my fridge, paused a moment and then said, “I love your fridge.”

      Normal fridge but huge variety of fresh foods.

          I learned of them as “nabe parties” (short for “nabemono”, which is Japanese hot pot) but many different East and Southeast Asian countries have their own types of hot pot.

          It’s a communal style of eating where you share a broth and cook your various ingredients together as you go, usually with some sort of dipping sauce. Generally super healthy and nutritious, but it depends on what ingredients you like.

    I was elated to find out our house has a built-in vacuum system. The shit you get excited about as you age would probably make your younger self disappointed.

      I’m happy that trash day comes two times a week where I live. I often forget to take the trash out on time, so I appreciate that each week gives me a second chance.

        Not exactly. The garage holds the main vacuum and container. The walls have the hoses built in. The house also came with a wand that could turn the vacuum on or off. Just open one of the ports, plug the wand in, and you’re sucking like a champ.

          That’s really weird, and I imagine absolute hell to fix if it clogs (or breaks in any way), but jealous af, that’s so cool

            My parent’s house had one. It was used at least one a week for the entire time I lived there. To my knowledge it never clogged.

            The tubing was huge compared to a more traditional vacuum, which I imagine helped.

              Well shit, looking into them now I’m gonna have to consider them when it’s time for my wife and I to buy a good vacuum if we own a house by then

                Yeah, I don’t think it’s worth adding retroactively to a house, but I certainly didn’t mind living in a house that had one.

                I’ve never encountered these myself, but apparently some houses have a similar system but without the external tubing. In those, you would sweep debris under a thing that resembled a baseboard radiator, then flick a switch or press a button or something and it would magic the debris away. I doubt those are as clog resistant though.

          My house has this thing called electricity and if you want to vacuum in a room you plug in an electric motor that generates the vacuum.

      Which decade was this? Because for the last 10 years, between vacuum/mop robots and a Dyson I haven’t used a traditional vacuum at all.

    I’d be so chuffed as an engineer if people got that excited over something I’d worked on.

    I spent hours picking the perfect fridge when we moved. Big but accesible. Elegant. No frills. Efficient. Nice illumination. Smooth hinges.

    Not one compliment. I need some middle aged women friends apparently.
