every millenial saw that ad at least once during every commercial break growing up

it bears emphasis: sears bought one ad per commercial break on nearly every channel, for every four to six hour kid's show block, from literally 1993 to 2003, and filled that space with only that ad

sometimes it would play twice per break

when calculated by "time spent in the presence of" I have spent more of my life around that commercial than i have any family member other than my parents

radar is broken because NWS changed the API for it and the developer hasn't had time to update, might be some day.

it takes a bit of messing around to get it right but it rocks.

Unf. I've been mainlining nostalgia like heroin in the past couple years and ended up watching several hours of 80s and 90s holiday commercials last December. They were like a nice warm blanket.

More on topic- The Great Lakes are enjoying some lovely 40 degree swings in our daily highs. I guess at least we aren't going to boil to death like texas.

Cheech Wizard stories are clean, wholesome, reflective truths that go great with the marijuana munchies and a blow job.
It's been a wet, cold spring in southwest B.C. Temperatures are averaging 2oc below average and we had frost last week instead of late March. The bees have been hanging around in their hives waiting for flying temperatures to return. When they do the bees head out to load up on pollen, the temperature drops while they're out and we're finding comatose bees loaded with pollen and sitting on vegetation waiting for the temperature to rise enough for them to get back home with it. Not sure how much of the fruit crop got pollinated.

Not only are the farms and gardens a month behind but we're running out of growing season. Even if the sun returns we won't have enough summer left to grow out certain crops. I don't think I'll bother to plant Glass corn this year. Cold hardy sweetpotatoes might not be viable either unless I take a Tiger torch to the beds to warm them up.

Some of the Fraser valley blueberry growers are getting boned. First their plants got hosed by the heat dome last summer, then the floods hit in November and scoured out or dumped a bunch of gravel on the remaining plants. Their stands need to be replanted but new plants won't be available until 2025.

On the positive side the soil is thoroughly saturated. With the summer droughts it's been a few years since we've seen that. On the negative side an unseasonable cold/low pressure system is coming through, 90kph/55mph/50 knot winds forecasted. Trees are in full leaf now and the saturated soil = less root holding ability so we'll probably lose our power this morning. Sounds like the east side of the Salish Sea is already getting hit.

Had our showers and everything is charged up so we're more or less ready. So far all that's come over is a potted fir. Sort of the equivalent of plastic lawn furniture and earthquakes.

Definitely having a normal one this spring.

yeah I'd assume a well stocked farm would have iodine in it, you probably cut yourself up a lot

I think the last time someone gave me iodine for a cut it was the middle school nurse

... I've got two bottles of iodine on the shelf, and it's a super commonplace thing especially as you grow older and infected cuts start healing slowly.

Does it still serve a purpose or has it been replaced by neosporin in cost or effectiveness?

Not everyone can use neosporin unfortunately. Most people find out that they are allergic to one of the antibiotics in it after using it

It's more effective than neosporin for the kinds of things my (diabetic) feet get.

Actually, yeah, I do remember iodine being around my grandfather's farm buildings for scrapes and such, but I guess I was one of those fancy people that mostly grew up with Neosporin.

I guess I missed out on the great iodine panic where it was absolutely everywhere staining sheets, couches and your shirt right before your very important business presentation.

Testing for starch conversion when cooking up a mash for brewing beer.

That might be a little esoteric though.

I remember that stuff from when I was a kid. I had no idea it was mercury based. Name should have been a clue.

I used it as a kid but my dad's parents had a farm. I htink it is more of an old people thing (and probably why everyone uses neosporin now because it's not old fashioned)
