Kind of like a mellified man, but with fat instead of honey.

In my experience, Hinge is still the best, but all of the apps have the same fundamental flaw. Imagine every person in your area who is single is in one big room and you line up to meet each other one at a time. That's basically how they work. Want to skip meeting people with different political or religious beliefs? No problem! Just pay up (and by the way, it's not cheap). Also, the filters are critically limited and largely superficial. It's a slog no matter what.

From what I've heard, OkCupid used to work properly as a way to find people who were actually a good match for you, but Match group bought them and stripped all the tools that made it useful. I actually recently saw a great comment about exactly that.

Almost Plausible is a show where three friends take ordinary objects (for example, a paperclip, a ceiling fan, or a toilet brush) and create movie plots based on those objects.

Full disclaimer: This is my podcast.

The board game Orgy (which came out in 1986, according to Wikipedia, which is 20 years later than I would have guessed) came with a porron.

Don't forget the potty humor and lack of volume control.

ETA: It occurs to me it's not clear if I'm talking about the baby or YouTubers.

You could call them The Silent Generation.

No, wait...

In my last house, the previous owners left a folder with information about various known quirks, which came in handy. They also left manuals for things like the stove and fireplace, as well as contact info for contractors they had used over the years. It ended up being a sort of owner's manual for the house that we really appreciated. We did the same when we moved out.

My current house... There's an under-cabinet CD player/radio in the kitchen that I almost never use, and the previous owners left the soundtrack to the Trolls movie in it, so I guess there's that?

Whoa, that last sentence. 😬

Seriously. I'm in my 40s and this is the first time I've ever had any sense of scale for red blood cells. Very cool!

Washington would fit right in. Western Washington is already a lot like British Columbia, and Eastern Washington is already a lot like Alberta.
