    My wife:  I just texted you a website that looks kind of suspicious, but they have really good deals on car seats.  They are cheaper than I've ever seen them before, by a lot.

    Me:  Googles qdwcz.com.   Yeah it looks like this is a scam, don't buy anything from them.

    My Wife:  Oh, it's too late, I already bought two.

    Because if there’s any place you want to maximize your savings, it’s car seats.

    Not sure this is the appropriate thread, but I feel it's highly correlated with having a wife.

    There are few tasks on this planet I loathe more than when I get asked to move a bunch of heavy-ass potted plants into the garage the few times a year when extreme weather approaches, and then having to haul them back out a day or two later. 

    There's this one schefflera that's she's had for like a decade and it's about 7' tall and 100+ lbs. After this last week, I told the wife that I'm never touching it again. She can either dig a hole and plant it or it suffers the ravages of frost next time.

    You must be my father in law

    My wife decided it was time to wash the fabric liner of our son’s high chair.  It was making a ton of noise in the dryer - kiddo was sleeping - so I pulled it out to air dry instead.

    Fast forward an hour and a half - kiddo wakes up and it’s time to feed him lunch.  The high chair liner is nowhere to be found. I ask my wife......she had put it outside to dry quicker.  
     

    ....it’s 25 degrees.  

    But is it a dry 25?

    Both TCU and Iowa State on the road?

    I know! I never would have seen that coming! It feels like we play both teams on the road every other year!

    We have a random switch in the living room that connects to an outlet in another room. It happens to have a freezer on that outlet. Must have lost $250 worth of food before we figured that out. Light bulb in my head went off one day while I was at work. Drove all the way home just to see if that was it. It was like that scene from Christmas Vacation when I figured it out. 

    Stupidly, our garage outlets are on the same GFCI as our outside outlets, so I have to keep an eye out during Christmas time if it rains that it doesn’t trip because of Christmas lights . I’d hate for my garage beer to warm up.

    And hair dryers aren’t necessarily confined to the bathroom. I’m pretty sure there are 4 stashed in various rooms throughout my house. 

    My wifes sits on the floor next to our bedroom door. Except when I’m using it to defrost a frozen-over ice maker, of course.

    I’m still working from home.  During my daily stand-up call today, I abruptly lose internet connectivity.  We’ve got very reliable internet here in the burbs of San Diego, so this is pretty unusual.   
     

    Any guesses as to the cause?

     

     

     

    If you guessed running a hair dryer and space heater on the same outlet at the same time causing the breaker to trip and taking the router offline, you are today’s big winner.  

    I was going to ask how the hell your router would be on the same circuit that your bathroom (?) is on, but having recently had to play circuit hide and seek to install a ring doorbell, I won’t question it

    I'm genuinely surprised with all his advanced knowledge about lizard aliens running our planet that Captain Fuckstick himself, "Q" hasn't chimed in on this Oumuamua alien craft until now.  Any of you fucking Qanon morons wanna chime in on why the king of conspiracy theories and alien control of our planet hasn't made one fucking comment on the first arrival of a fucking actual UFO in our solar system.  One fucking time, you can make one fucking modicum of effort to offer one shred of information for once in your fucking pathetic lives you fucking heaps of human shit?  

    The alien shaman was going to visit, but we didn’t have organic food.

    10 is basically just the shell of a silo right now.   Before the launch, one of the analysts remarked SpaceX was not worried about damaging it in its current state.

    Question I do not know the answer to:

    On the crash/landing strategy - if this thing can hover at 30,000, why is the flip from horizontal to vertical so late in the process (a few seconds prior to touchdown) when there is not time to correct any errors?

    Interesting simulation about flip altitude

    Why do women have a need to ask questions about things I don't give a fuck about, and then act like they know you secretly do care and are just setting them up to blame them when you don’t get what you want and now are playing the martyr and you must secretly actually have an opinion?

    FIFY, because that’s what do when the situation is reversed

    Not sure when but Tech’s school is targeted at larger animals (cows/horses) and not smaller ones (dogs/cats).  That’s how they got the lege to approve it since it solved a major need for West Texas ranchers.  Now they may add small animals eventually but not at first.
