"Honk shoo honk shoo" is just a hosed-up way English people want to represent the "krooh pyyh krooh pyyh" of a person snoring while asleep.

Honk is categorically an outwards sound, and so is shoo. :colbert:

For ten years I've been buying these lovely shower-mirrors. They last about a month and then fog up and start warping in weird ways.

Well today I bought a new one, and someone in Amazon review section said, make sure you remove the protective film.

So I go into my shower, where the latest of my worthless shower mirrors are. I peel back the film, revealing a perfectly pristine mirror underneath.

I've thrown out a dozen of these motherfuckers over the years, and it's a goddamn headache to shave. Now I see why! I never realized there was a protective film over the mirror; I thought all that was the mirror. Holy poo poo I'm able to see myself in the mirror in the shower for the first time in years.

What the hell did you think mirrors were made out of so that they could warp? This is impressive.

I figured the stuff I was buying was like a reflective film that was glued to the fixture, and that was what was warping. Like some kind of reflective foil or something.

Ah, oh. There are mirrors like that but I haven't seen one since the 1980s. They are also completely useless from the get-go.

I can control Youtube on my PS5 on my Anroid phone. (Good for queueing up songs or whatever.) Just happened to open the Youtube application on the phone while watching a video on my TV and it asked me if I want to connect.

I'm comparing this to using a trowel to dig out the roots of a weed. If the weed's the type you can just yank out by the stems, then of course just do that! But you always want to get the roots if at all possible, otherwise the weed will be back in very short order.

Then don't use a trowel, use a weed-tool.

Power Skanssi (Power being a chain of electronics stores) is not in the shopping centre named Skanssi.

e: Modern Family Guy in the motion picture The Incredible Hulk is doctor Leonard Samson. It would be p great if he appeared in one of the Marvel movies as that character, bright green hevi hair and all.

I find it bizarre that, for example, Michael Caine was born before hamsters were domesticated.

Wikipedia says that whomsoever grabbed a hamster out in the wild would have a domesticated hamster in two days :shrug:

Fair enough, then Michael Caine was born before hamsters were commonly sold as pets in the USA.

Wait, gently caress, Michael Caine wasn't even born, was he?

Maurice Joseph Micklewhite was born before hamsters were commonly sold as pets in the USA.

poo poo, his parents might not have decided on a name prepartum, hang on...

A baby who, shortly after being born, would be christened Maurice Joseph Micklewhite was born before hamsters were commonly sold as pets in the USA.

Was he tho?

Despite being good for your teeth, xylitol has half as much calories as sugar. I don't know why the gently caress I thought it had no energy. I guess it's only "artificial" sweeteners that have no energy.

It does have a very low glycemic index tho, apparently. So I guess that's nice.

The Moabites (those from the land beyond Jordan) also gave their name to Moab Utah because it was similar to the Native American name (Moapa; water full of mosquitos) for the land but also fit into their biblical Natives are Israelites mythology.

Within living memory, just about!

It's weird to think about how many countries that are now "democracies" were still dictatorships in the 1970s. Spain, Greece, South Korea, what else?
