I was looking for sandals and found these. They’re flip flops with a built in bottle opener, I suppose to make them more…cool? Gadget-y? But it’s on the sole of the shoe.
Someone really didn’t think this design through.
Update: There are some replies at Wandering Shop from people who’ve worn or used these. Apparently there’s another variation with a built-in flask.
GPS navigation options we need:
If I’m trying to get somewhere other than home after work, I’ll use GPS to get an idea of the time remaining and the fastest route. Since I’d rather avoid the freeway during rush hour, it keeps trying to send me on these zigzag paths through residential neighborhoods to avoid backed-up arteries or just avoid busy intersections. I used to follow those routes, but after a while I started noticing other cars ahead of me that were clearly doing the same thing. It’s not just one car being added to that lumpy narrow road with lots of driveways, stop signs, kids on bikes and people taking out the trash. It’s a lot of cars. And of course we’re following the same apps drawing from the same data, so we’re all taking the same side streets, not spread out among all of them.
If there’s a big difference, that’s one thing, but for two or three minutes? What’s the point?
Of course the navigation app seems so testy when I decline to be part of the problem, and it has to keep recalculating…
It’s odd how some people will sling insults, threats and violence day in, day out (or support those who do), but the moment someone offers even a fraction of it in return, they call foul.
Sadly, a lot of people have convinced themselves that freedom consists mainly in the “freedom” to treat others like crap without fear of retaliation or consequence.
“I would have done the same” should never be the end of your thought process, but the start of it.
Whenever I call more than one senator/representative/etc. office as part of a call-in campaign, it’s interesting to see what the staffers want in order to log the call.
(You can tell when they’ve gotten a lot of calls on an issue.)
The first time I played mobile Minecraft, I ended up stuck in a tree all night, trying not to move so the skeletons wouldn’t shoot me down. Every time I ventured down to try to finish my shelter, I got killed and re spawned in that tree, so I finally just set the phone down and waited for daylight.
Wispy sundog fragment (colors enhanced). The colors were really easy to see through my polarized sunglasses, but just faded into the glare without them. My phone barely caught it, but the info was there once I stretched the saturation.
