Not a specific brand but style of electric heater. I prefer the oil filled ones. They make zero noise and safer because they don't have an exposed heating element that can catch things on fire by coming in contact. The one have has a temperature setting and a clock that can be programmed to turn itself on/off at designated times. Cons are they take a while to heat up and are a bit larger. Mine is tall and thin, looks a bit like a boiler radiator. The big hardware chain stores sell them, I'd expect to pay around $100.
I use this VH trick at work occasionally for fun just to see if anyone reads my service report. "Your boilers are about to fail in the middle of winter but don't worry I sprinkled pixie dust on them and did a rain dance". Never heard from anyone not even my boss. One customer I used to write "Does anyone ever read these? If so call me at (phone number)". I handed it to the man in charge, he pretended to read it, signed it and handed it back to me. The only one my boss called about was the one I wrote that simply said "I took a shit in the floor drain here"
There's some mayonnaise in the fridge a couple years old I'll use on sandwiches. After family holiday get togethers there's always leftover ham or turkey, that's about the only time I'll use mayonnaise. Every year I'll pull it out, look at the expiration date and make a choice. Go get a new jar that will only get a third used or live life on the edge and slather on the old stuff. I call it refrigerator roulette
My theory also is to have 3 hobbies but a different take:
One that you can do at home when you have free time, I play guitar.
One that gets you out of the house, I fly fish.
One that gives you something to look forward to, I used to go on monthly backpacking trips but as I get older they're turning into fishing trips
I avoid the baby talk with my nieces and nephews after they get past one year old. My oldest nephew said I'm his favorite because I don't talk down to him
With dogs i think the inflection in your speech is what they pick up on more so than the actual word. Same goes for spelling something out. Next time try singing it
Computer nerd me loved dialing up BBS's on my TRS-80 CoCo with 16k RAM. My parents on the other hand hated getting the phone bill. 30 cents a minute in 1980 dollars was steep
If you like rock and roll then I recommend Night Flight streaming service. They were running a deal if you paid for the year it cost less than $5 a month
When entering the Everglades NP my girlfriend and I were handed one of those folded maps with info on the park. Early 90's BTW. We went to a campground and set up our tent then soon decided to drive out of the park to buy groceries. On the drive out we saw a convertible pulled over to the side of the road, it's occupants looking at something. We looked and I saw the back end of a large cat walking away. My first impression was who could abandon a cat here? It will get eaten by alligators. Soon I realized it was no ordinary house cat. The brochure we were given stated there were nine known Florida panthers left in the million acre park.
Was wearing my blue Dickies work uniform while browsing at MicroCenter when a woman behind me says "Shouldn't you be at work?". I turn around and say "Yes. Yes I should "
Don't "both sides" this. It's the kind of thing people use to justify voting third party. Off the top of my head the Biden admin has been working to restore net neutrality and has an antitrust case against Ticketmaster and Live Nation
One thing that helped me relax when learning to drive: 99% of the time you only need to worry about what's directly in front of you. Unless you're changing lanes or backing up that's your main priority. Yeah it's good to be a defensive driver and anticipate things and that will come with time. Don't be overstimulated by every detail around you, know what to focus on. I hope this helps you relax like it did me
Like 95% of the US get neither off
