I have never had a problem with waste from scooping but I have the perfect size and shape spoons and I am also usually making guacamole so anything that might get left behind on the first scoop just gets scraped out anyway.

If I want slices I slice them before scooping and can then scoop out nice clean slices.

I have a couple of shirts that my parents got me in the 90s that have long sleeves sewn into a normal tee shirt. They thought I would like them because I did wear thermals and long sleeve tees under my short sleeve tees. I was gracious and would wear them occasionally when I was not going to see anyone I knew, but internally I did not like them because they defeated the purpose of the 2 layer system and made me look like a poser.

I was back home visiting my family last year and I noticed my mom struggling with an avocado. She had the skin about half peeled off and was trying to hold onto the slippery inside while peeling the rest of the skin off in little chunks. I asked her what she was doing and she answered “peeling the avocado” like it was some ridiculous question. About this time my wife noticed what was going on and started cracking up laughing. She finished peeling and awkwardly slicing it while we discussed the fact that we had never seen anyone do it that way and on the next one we showed her the “cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop it out” method. She was blown away. Apparently she has just always peeled them and never questioned if there was an easier way.

And quicksand.

This there now

I used to have a pre-filled salt grinder that said “freshly ground for fresher taste”. I always thought “you don’t understand how rocks work” whenever I would read it.

Kash Patel looks like he just threw up in his mouth.

There are some killer restaurants in gas stations where I live. Some of the best Thai food I have ever had comes from a shell station. It is just a couple of older Thai lady’s in a tiny kitchen serving up amazing togo food from the back of a gas station, and there is always a line.

In case you were still wondering it is a Schlage Everest core.
