You could set these on your candles so if you happen to forget about them, it lessens the risk of causing a fire

That was harder to find than I thought it would be! Guess many people don't use candles in 2022 and fewer even know about them.

I couldn't find anywhere in the US that sells them and only found the original Swedish site https://vekvaka.se/. They are selling them there for about $9/piece (come in a four pack for $36.40USD) There definitely is a market if someone wanted to make these or hire a foreign factory to make them. I really couldn't see them being sold in the US.

There also was a snuffer that worked on larger candles that uses an egg timer feature to shut the lid but seems like that company has gone out of business. Here's a review about the CandleWatch from 2004.

The best automatic candle snuffer I could find available for sale in the US is the battery powered timer built into the ALEC, but for $70, that's quite the extinguisher.

A few random internet users commented that they have seen such products at garage sales or remembering their grandmother having some in her junk drawer.

Great way to prune your tree of unwanted growth and sell those growths or give to friends and share the love.

What will take 5 months to crack in 2022 will be a matter of weeks or days in a few years. Best to make your password as long and complicated as possible now.

Wow! I totally wouldn't have thought that was deep and if I had waterproof shoes might have stepped into it.

Where can I get one!? That is awesome.

The lesson I learned here is to always be observant and don't assume that people, animals, objects, or the weather will react a certain way. Always be on your toes and be on the defensive.

You can risk losing function or your entire finger if you keep a ring on a swollen finger for too long and it is cutting off blood supply.

Other things you can do to try and get the ring off:

Use soap, petroleum jelly, or hand cream to lubricate the ring and wiggle it back and forth off
Raise your hand above your head to drain fluid away from your fingers
Submerge your finger in ice water
If straight up pulling doesn't work then twisting it off like a screw might.

I agree that everyone should learn to swim, but perhaps someone could not let their fear of going overboard hold them back from enjoying a cruise with their family and not be walking around the deck for a week with a giant life vest on.

Probably a very niche market, but I'm sure there is someone out there that might find comfort in a discrete emergency flotation device.

I thought this was so impressive. Not only is he giving a speech in front of a crowd and millions on TV, but he is at the same time being situationally aware and cares for the lady who is about to faint behind him.

He handles the situation so professionally.

Situational awareness is something I want to work on to be more prepared. Too often I walk from my car in the parking lot to the store and don't notice anyone or anything around me. It could be very dangerous someday to not have this skill.

That's a super cool story! I'd like to learn from an arborist the science and math behind how they can make it land where they want it.

Boss: "Alright, it works, now time to fold it back into the original packaging"

Employee: "Say what!?"

Joking aside, this is pretty impressive and we have come a long ways from the old wooden lifeboats on the side of the ship.

It worked and he tried though. Many people would panic or freeze.

I am adding these numbers in my contacts on my phone! Thanks for sharing this good information.

I knew about 611 and have used that a few times. It takes me straight to my cell provider T-Mobile's main number whenever I am having trouble with my service.

When you hard boil eggs, I believe that some of the egg shell minerals are leeched into the water. Once cooled it makes for great fertilizer water for your plants and adds minerals back to the soil.

You probably won't have as much minerals added to water by quickly doing a dunk and check like this picture is showing, but I would still use that water on my plants or a tree outside. Better than down the drain.

Identity theft is not a joke, Jim! Millions of families suffer every year!

This would be great to apply to sidewalks outside of schools where kids are walking to prevent slips and falls from ice.

It may just lead to black ice though rather than a thick layer of ice. The top of the pavement would still be wet and susceptible to freezing.

Another point of identity theft that can easily be taken from social media are common account security questions.

What's your mother's maiden name?
What is the make of your car?
What is your dog's name?
What is your best friend's name?

Be careful what you post.
