You don’t like where the black line goes?

My favorite is needing a screwdriver to open my screwdriver.

One time in high school, at a house party, a girl gave me some advice I have yet to try (though I am wondering now if I should’ve listened to sooner):

If you ever need a vacation, check yourself into a mental hospital for a few days.

Okay, accidental may be a bit of a stretch. But it wasn’t intended to be used the way we use it today (and the fact that it took them 40 attempts to get it right). 😅

You don’t cook much do you? You want to tenderize your meat with something acidic. Ocean water is already salty, so that takes care of some of the seasoning.

I never knew about the military plane’s application myself. I just knew it was while he was working for Eastman Kodak and it was an accidental discovery.

I also understand they had to “water it down” because it was too strong.

Edit: it occurred to me I could be confusing WD-40 with superglue re the accidental discovery comment.

Not quite. It was first used as a surgical closure by the inventor after his son cut his finger open on a model. The glue was originally created for making cockpit covers more secure on military planes.

Use stereo for the movie. Some apps, like Netflix (iirc) has a setting for that.

Check that the audio format of whatever you’re watching matches the output of your listening device. If you watch a movie using 5.1, but your TV is stereo, then yes all of the loud shit is going to be very loud and crowd out the dialog. This might not be the silver bullet for everyone, but it costs you nothing to check your settings.

I would be shocked (shocked, I say) if Hollywood wasn’t mostly a front for money laundering rings.
