I have a Kindle from 2011 that's still in perfect condition and gets daily use. Every now and then I'm tempted to get a newer eReader but I can't come up with a single reason to actually do it.
My wife just dug an old iPod that must be from ~2008 from some box in the basement so she can listen to music at work all day without killing the battery on her phone.
We have an auto feeder for their dry food that has a removable metal bowl beneath the spout. When the metal dish is in place, all the kibble pours out into the bowl. When the cats think the food is overdue, they will tap the metal bowl out of the way to get attention or wake the machine up or whatever cat reason...and the kibble bounces off the hard flat plastic surface and half of it spills onto the floor where the dog will gobble it up.
Sometimes I put the bowl back in place and sometimes I wait and see if they'll learn the lesson on their own.
We went through a long phase of people being hyped about Marvel, followed by a phase of people shitting on Marvel...now I think we're entering a phase of "people who like it can still like it, people who don't like it can move on to something else."
It will be interesting to see what comes next in the monoclture now that Marvel doesn't have the same stranglehold on the box office as they used to. Most other studios seem to have already moved on from the "cinematic universe" model with a new tie-in blockbuster every 6 months forever...
I got my vasectomy done through Planned Parenthood. I had to go in for a screening first where they asked questions like, "Are you sure you want to do this?" and I said yeah and they said, "Really sure?" and I said yeah, so they said "OK cool, come back in two weeks and we'll snip snip."
Just got home from an impromptu night of camping out at the lake. Did a few hours sailing in decent winds this morning. I am now sun-drenched, sweat-soaked, and exhausted, but feeling good.
It really is crazy how well that cast worked together. Even Andy Dick was tolerable!
