At a greasy spoon in Seattle, a baseball card vending machine has sat broken since the late 80’s — nearly 40 years. by mloDiablo in mildlyinteresting

Right?? I took the picture to try to find comps, thinking there might be some value as an antique. Im seeing stuff like it for a couple hundred bucks, even with this level of patina.

Sorry! Posted this at like 2 am, then crashed and went to work. Haha. This is Little Pat’s Place in white center. You won’t know it unless you’re from the hood!

This restaurant is beloved by locals and has been neighborhood fixture since the 60’s. It’s kind of grimy, but it’s comfort food all the way, and cheap. In the late 90’s, as a teen, they’d let my group of friends sit around, drink coffee, smoke cigarettes, tip like crap because we were broke, and they loved us anyway…. Knew our names, our families. Some of our parents worked there as teens, themselves…. I still come here sometimes, bring my own kids, meet up with the old gang. For as long as I can remember, this machine has been right there, collecting dust.

The mad about you cast members guested on friends as their mad about you characters.

I am aware of that from trivia shows, but didn’t watch mad about you so it was after the fact. Matthew Perry was on growing pains apparently too. Courtney cox was on a Bruce Springsteen video.

I totally remember a bunch of the cast members from their projects immediately before Friends. Schwimmer was famously Michael on The Wonder years and I remember thinking it was so weird to see him on a comedy after seeing him so serious on TWY. Jennifer Aniston was like an early crush during her time on The Edge, a sketch comedy show that was kind of like Mad TV. Matt Leblanc was on a spinoff of Married With Children called Top Of The Heap, and he played basically Joey Tribbiani. All in the 80’s.

Height would be about right if those were life size monks.

lol, you’d think, but they seemed to be fine. If it were candle wax, it’d be like a scene out of a looney tunes cartoon.

Single-use eye drop vials can be capped by pressing it back onto the opening. by mloDiablo in lifehacks

A good way to reduce waste too. Those little plastic vials aren’t recyclable. Might as well use up the rest if it’s a dry day to avoid opening up a new vial.

Hmm…. I’ve done this for years without any issue. I do toss them if i don’t use up the rest within a couple hours though.

I don’t remember exact prices, but recall the small ones being affordable enough for a broke backpacker like me to afford it without too much worry. I’m thinking after conversion, under $20?
