  1. If you turn your oven on to 943 degrees Centigrade, it will be very hot.

      Yes, at 1,729.4º Fahrenheit, that would be extremely hot.

  2. I put together a chair. It was needlessly hard. Why couldn't they put it together for me?

      Looks and sounds like poetry if you reformat it. I don't know much about poetry, but the rhythm just reminded me of Robert Frost.

  3. Discovered a new tongue twister: "I'm nowhere near Newberg." Say it three times fast.

      "The sixth sick sheikh's sixth sheep's sick." In 1974, it was considered the world's worst tongue twister according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

  4. I should have bought more potato salad.

  5. Thought of a good invention: A full-sized keyboard you plug into your smart phone so you can type better without the stupid touch screen.

      I believe Bluetooth keyboards can be used with smart phones.

  6. Is there a way to disable Windows Update? It's annoying.

      Yeah man.  Disable the update service.

      I had to update my computer this morning. It took half an hour. I could have used that half-hour programming instead of useless stupid computer updates.

      At a bare minimum, you can change the Windows Update preferences to do updates outside of your active hours.  Like at 2am or something.

  7. Why won't this crappy weather STOP? 90 today. I bet it will be 90 on Christmas if this keeps up.

      💯 Completely agree.  And the high pollen count has been brutal on the allergies.

      You guys go outside?!? 😂 The giant window where my desk is set up is always closed with the shade down. I try to stay inside as much as possible. I'm delicate 🌻

      We've been in the mid-70s in Seattle. Looks like we should drop a few degrees next week. Where's the rain?

  8. Woke up this afternoon to find my ac/heater had turned up to 77 for no good reason. ac is working to cool down the house now.
