Seems like a good way to take something out for dinner and have an unpleasant surprise when it thaws.
I’ve never put garbage in the freezer, but in warm weather, I’ll keep it in the fridge until close to trash day, so i don’t need to walk by the stink in the garage. That’s usually garbage that was leftovers until it got too old, so it’s not so much putting it into the fridge as not taking it out…
But the only gross bits in the freezer are being saved up to make stock, they aren’t garbage. So i voted “no”.
I don’t see many movies and didn’t vote in those ones.
I feel like I’m forced to use AI every time i do a web search these days, and voted accordingly. I rarely use the AI results for anything (although if I’m just lazily using it to convert C to F or something, i will) but i usually at least read them and am influenced by them.
I don’t think I’m a luddite for noticing that the AI results are a lot worse than Google searches used to be, and it’s much harder to figure out what the sources are. (The sources listed often don’t include the answer given.)
I’ve never put kitchen garbage in the freezer, but during the winter I do open the sliding door and put it outside on the deck to freeze so it doesn’t stink up the garage.
My hotel/motel bathroom needs to have a vent fan.
What i look for in a hotel room varies by the location and why I’m there. At a convention? As close as possible. Exploring a city? Not too far from a subway, but there are lots of other considerations. In Tokyo in the summer? I need AC. Denmark? I didn’t even ask. And I’ve stayed in rooms that didn’t have a shower (there was a sink.) But I’m fairly picky, despite not having hard rules for all places and all times.
Something which has become rare in newer hotels, IME.
I’m quite familiar with the work of all of the listed comedians. Harold Lloyd, IMO, was better than Chaplin. Lloyd’s Safety Last (the one with the famous “clock” scene), and Speedy are classics. Lewis and Hope are at the bottom of the list for me, but the Martin and Lewis movies were good, and the Hope and Crosby road pictures were very good.
As usual, I haven’t seen any of the Oscar nominees, and probably won’t until they are free on TV.
I voted that I don’t hate AI, but don’t use it. Rethinking that, I guess I do ‘use’ it when I read Google search results.
I don’t understand why anyone would discard shoes because they reach a certain age but are still in good condition. Just last month I finally threw away a pair of steel-toed work shoes that had long ago been relegated to ‘yard work’ shoes, so they weren’t good enough to wear in public, but still had use. I bought them in 1985, so I guess I got my money’s worth. 
I routinely put garbage in a plastic grocery sack and leave it in the freezer until trash day, and have done so all my life. When I was a kid, the chickens got everything, so my parents had no need to freeze it.
I’m not picky about amenities, but I can’t imagine a hotel without AC. If a hotel isn’t close to the reason I need stay at a hotel, why am I even there? I would absolutely refuse to stay at any hotel that charged for parking at their establishment, and thankfully that has never been an issue. I suppose that happens in city downtown areas, but I have no interest in being in a city.
A waypoint on the way.
I stayed at one Motel 5¾ every year that was 50ish miles from the event I wanted to be at in the morning, but it was in the most populated area between where I got off the interstate & where was going; out of the way distance was about ½ mi. There were two places to get breakfast across the street so wasted time was < 2 minutes. There were places to stay closer to my ultimate destination but it would have meant more total driving & more driving on Friday night.
I will also frequently take two days to get somewhere hundreds of miles away because I enjoy the ride, on the twisty & meandering back roads instead of the faster but boring & soul-sucking interstates; arriving with a big smile on my face.
We do not put kitchen trash in the freezer, but we do have a small tub (quart?) in the fridge we use to store compostables until it’s full, then cart it out to the compost pile. The tub holds about a day’s worth of scraps, more or less, so we trundle it out once a day at most, although some days it doesn’t get filled so it stays in the fridge overnight. That’s in improvement of what I used to do, which is to collect the scraps from every meal into a bowl and empty it after eating, so 2-3 times per day.
Quite common, and quite expensive. $50 or more in Seattle. Maybe $80 in Chicago or NY. I don’t typically have a car in most cities, but I do when I’m staying in Seattle.
Never done so and never heard of it until today. Like others, our freezers don’t have room for trash. We take out stinky trash to the can as necessary.
I’m not sure how I feel about the keeping an affair from your partner thing. I think it’s context-dependent and I haven’t seen the episode in question.
My spouse and I have an expectation of honesty between us, and that includes lies of omission, so I would lean toward telling him. I did get in a situation once, I guess it was the beginning of an emotional affair during an incredibly difficult time in the lives of both me and my friend. Once I realized what was happening, I told my husband. He wasn’t mad. He was caring and understanding about the whole thing. So I guess I feel the best thing is to talk about it right away.
If you don’t choose to do that, though, and it was a one-time event that happened ten years ago, I just don’t know if that’s worth it.
As far as the idea that it’s selfish to tell, I’m unconvinced. There are more factors to consider than your own guilt. Like what kind of relationship did I agree to with this person and would not telling further violate those expectations?
Personally, I’d want to know right away. I’m more interested in the truth than happy feelings.
There’s a theory that the shoe components, especially the foam, deteriorates over time, regardless of how much the shoe is worn. I’ve seen differing opinions on this on the interwebs and am not sure whether it has any validity.
Yep. All except the last Road film, which limped.
I suspect the manufacturers are behind this theory.
Don’t give in to Big Foam.
mmm
I’m way behind on this thread, and I did search, but someone else might have mentioned the following:
Timothy Hutton also did a detective series, but one based on Nero Wolfe where he (Hutton) played Archie Goodwin (Maury Chaiking was a very good Wolfe). I liked it a lot more than the Ellery Queen series with his dad (although I did watch it and mostly enjoyed it). But you can’t beat that brownstone as an extra character in the stories.

Regarding the “error”, In my defense, I saw @What_Exit’s post and just assumed I was in this thread.
And I followed a blind link and had no clue where I was. Thankfully @puzzlegal DM’d me so I could correct it.
Having so many audio entertainment options in cars these days certainly makes driving less of a chore.
“Radio plus CD players” (90s), “radio plus cassettes” (80s), and even just “radio” (70s) wasn’t so bad, either.
I wasn’t alive before car radio, but driving in those days would have been more of a chore, for me.
My first car had only an AM radio, and it wasn’t good quality sound (to say the least). It was a 1976 model AMC Hornet. And I put a lot of miles on that car. I wouldn’t have said I enjoyed driving until I switched to EVs. Plus, I do it a lot less now, so less of a grind and more of a nice experience on the road. (traffic not terrible where we live, trips to Seattle are different)
