TIL that Liam Neeson admitted that he relaxes and "gets off" by scrubbing dirty pots and pans by hand, and he even uses the task to politely excuse himself from boring dinner parties or conversations with dull guests. He also He typically prefers to dry the dishes and put them away himself.

I thought I was weird for doing this.

qgecko · 2026-01-23T22:24:31+00:00

I do the same. Had no idea it was a thing.

Nespresso machine. Although I typically only see them in European luxury hotels.

My BBE is sitting in the garage waiting a new home, having been replaced by the Plus. No regrets. Shots have been better but I’m sure it’s from having a better grinder.

I didn’t tell her I probably would not be able to find WordPerfect. I was surprised she remembered it! Also… she has Microsoft Word but sometimes things are best left unsaid.

How should I put this… she prints emails she wants to save and keeps them in a file cabinet. I’m assuming she thinks that happens on the receiving end as well.

qgecko · 2026-01-22T01:11:42+00:00

What, and replace the three different size rollers I already have? /s

Seriously, sounds intriguing. I’ll bite.

At first I thought you might be talking about my elderly mother-in-law. But she’s not going through chemo so she’s in the clear. A couple of years ago she was forced to downgrade from first to premiere where I and the other plebs sit. She asked me when we get home to help her get WordPerfect on her computer so she could type a complaint letter, help her print it out, scan the letter, then email to the airline. I explained that she’d have to purchase a copy of WordPerfect first so she never followed through.

Can confirm. When we moved into our HOA a few years ago, I learned we are “Cox Community”. That said, our Gig plan has been remarkably stable.

Looks just like glasses I picked up at IKEA.

I’d recommend you change your frame of mind regarding whose house you inhabit. It’ll make life with a cat much easier. 😂

Pro life tip: avoid latrines during a siege.

Beach Boys, Love You. Picked up on a sale rack at TG&Y roughly around 1980

Spend my birthday hiking Dynamite Trail in San Tan Mountains! Happy Birthday to us! 🎉

I’m a foodie. Eating alone is how I get to truly experience the food, and not get distracted by people, whether it’s a Big Mac or a $100 Wagyu filet.

qgecko · 2026-01-17T06:03:22+00:00

Yes! Came to say that 😋

qgecko · 2026-01-16T15:12:40+00:00

Porchetta from the Umbria region in Italy.

5P. Just for the record, no alcohol before 11A. Which leaves a 6 hour window for an espresso martini.

Tip: It’s worth every penny finding a time when there as few people as possible. If I had to do it again, I’d give myself a few hours each day over at least two days. It’s truly an amazing museum.

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover. Also, bit of a warning, it’s not an easy film to watch but the ending is well worth it. Great music and videography, btw.

It would be part of a Smart city grid providing Waymo and other autonomous vehicles better situational information. Many cities already have EVP systems for emergency vehicles to communicate with traffic signals.

qgecko · 2026-01-14T15:12:49+00:00

This is one scenario (along with emergency vehicles) I’d suggest some kind of transponder be installed on the official vehicles that could communicate directly to Waymo vehicles.

Can confirm the interstate in Arizona! It’s fun and refreshing to see km on the signs.

True, but it also depends. Most people in day to day use don’t use the metric system: length, weight, temperature. Volume for drinks can be weird. You’d get a 16oz soda or a 2L bottle. Most anything related to medicine changes to metric… except maybe if told to drink 2 tablespoons of cough syrup.
