What is this icon in my OneTouch Reveal app?

It tuns on and off with a tap, but what does it do? There's no hover text and the in-app Help files don't mention it.

When my eyelashes hook together when my eye is closed and snap apart when I blink.

One time I had to literally pull the offending eyelash out with tweezers.

LPT: Keep your bedsheets oriented with a safety pin in the center of the foot-end

So when you make your bed you know (a) which end is the foot end, (2) which side is up, and furthermore center the sheet so it drapes evenly on both sides of the mattress.

The safety pin can stay in the sheet permanently since it's stainless steel and won't rust, won't open with normal use, and won't hook onto or tear other laundry.

So frustrated at rancid oil

My entire order tastes like straight up chemicals. Nachos Bell Grande + $9 Luxe Box.

Edit: I got to the bottom of the NBG and apparently there was a salt malfunction. Come on people.

Edit 2: It's 8 hours later and not to gross anyone out but my burps smell and taste like chemicals.

Is this a wrong number scam or just an honest wrong number?

"Hey Rob, this is Luke Meyer. I'm just checking to see if you wanted me to come in early or not"

Should I explain the texter has the wrong number, just to be nice? Has anyone else gotten texts like this that turned out to be scams?

Floridians and people who live in hot areas: Do your supermarkets and other stores have special fans mounted above the doorways that blow a sheet of air straight down and what are they for?

Do they work?

Any creative ideas for leftover pickle and olive brines?

I used up all my pickles, olives, roast red peppers, and even pickled herring in white wine and onion, and want ideas for using up the leftover brines for something else, otherwise just gonna dump them.

I was thinking soaking peeled hard boiled eggs in the pickle brine for a couple days for a snack, for example. Any other uses?

People who don't know how to set up a buffet.

How hard is it to put the plates, cutlery, and napkins at the Start of the table and the desserts at the End? Have these people never been in a cafeteria?

LPT: If you have pets and ceiling fans, leave your ceiling fans running 24/7 blowing down so that most loose pet hair will be balled up and swept into the corners of the room from where they can be easily vacuumed or even picked up by hand.

The point is to maintain a constant downdraft that blows loose hair off furniture and across the floor to the outer corners of the room, in the process creating hair-tumbleweeds that you can pick up with your fingertips as you walk by.

And this is above and beyond the heating/cooling benefits that come with ceiling fans in the first place.

[us] Reminder about fake Amazon Product Recall Notification texts linking to www.tpjbwgkz.autos

Scammers are sending out fake "Amazon Manufacturer Recall Notification" texts in the form of a bogus link with an attached image made to look like an Amazon email instead of just text.

  • The first sign is they're sending an image of an email via text as if we were born yesterday.
  • The second is it cites an order ID instead of directly mentioning the product supposedly being recalled, as if we're going to search through multiple years of orders for some seventeen-digit number--and then, which of the multiple items in that order is the recalled one?
  • Finally, the text is coming from a 10-digit telephone number, not one of those multi-digit auto-texts you get from legitimate sources like reminders from your pizza delivery or your doctor's office.

The way you get recall notifications is directly from your Amazon website when you log in independently of any text or email you supposedly receive from "Amazon". Don't even bother clicking on the bogus link provided, even out of curiosity.

It's been a year since Leo was elected pope. Has anyone gone back and reviewed all the worthless garbage that flooded the internet Cathosphere during the interregnum?

Stuff like who is likely to become the next pope, what the next pope probably will do, or should do, and where the Church is going? I found it all so tedious last spring, and now I wonder if I was right after all, that all the vain claptrap was for nothing, and there's no point in reading any of it next time around.

College kids whose questions are buried under a mountain of context.

Learn how to ask a question. Don't turn a post-lecture Q&A session into your personal stage.

For example after a guest lecture on the future of US-Iran Relations sponsored by a campus organization a student gets up and asks a question that takes 2 minutes to read off his phone. It's obvious they want to force a specific predetermined answer out of the lecturer that they can gloriously trounce in their followup.

Other people want to ask questions too. I didn't come here tonight to watch a debate between a former Cabinet member and some International Studies sophomore in thrifted clothes and dreadlocks.

The odor and flavor are absolutely chemical; what gives?

I lived and worked in office environments with huge car-sized copier machines back in the day, and the smell and taste in my mouth i exactly the same.
