The stove or the oven? Because I can see the latter - there have been times when I would have liked to have a pre-heated oven when I got home.
I have an internet-enabled oven that does this (I didn’t ask for it, it came with the house), and the feature is, indeed, very occasionally useful. Very occasionally. But still, at those times, useful.
He didn’t say but presumably the oven. I guess being able to preheat the oven or tweak something that cooks for a long time could be useful, but I can’t imagine being able to turn on the burners being anything but dangerous. Unless you want to torch your internet capable potholders because they’re spying on you for the Russians.
I have a friend that has some sort of gizmo that allows him to monitor the temp of a roast while it’s in the oven. In fact my oven will do that and turn it self off when the inner temp of the meat gets to a certain point. I’ve never fiddled with it though.
The big selling point of smart ovens is that the homeowner can turn off the oven if they left it on accidentally. No more getting halfway to the airport and thinking……damn, I think I left the oven on, then you have to decide whether to miss your flight in order to drive home and check, or spend the next few weeks wondering if you house was going to burn down. It may seem like an oddball situation but it’s not….”Whoops, I think I left the oven on” is at the heart of many stories my friends tell about their aging parents.
That makes more sense than Earnest II’s sales pitch.
Oddly enough, I saw a hat of this design on one of my neighbors this past Saturday night.
So either they’ve got a logistics network faster than Amazon (flux capacitor-equipped Deloreans, perhaps?) or he just ripped a preexisting design off and is passing it off as his own.
I know where the smart money is on that question.
How hard could it be to design a MAGA hat anyway? Red ball cap, four block letters, boom you’re done. My six year old grandson could do that.
And your six year old grandson would naturally gravitate to the largest hat possible. Are there any MAGA hats out there of normal proportions? I swear they are getting larger and soon will be Turd Ferguson style:
Your six-year-old grandson would probably do a better job, too.
I saw a comment by the stonekettle guy, to the effect that Individual-ONE has the social awareness of a hound sitting on the sidewalk studiously licking its asshole, and it occurred to me what an apt depiction it was. The MAGAtry are like the hound’s humans, who look on mildly bemused (not giving any thought to the fact that that shit-stained tongue will later be licking their faces), and they tolerate their pet’s disgusting behaviors because when they let it out in the morning, it goes and shits on the neighbor’s lawn, not their own (such as they are aware) and that neighbor deserves to have turds on their lawn (even though the neighbor’s yard is on the uphill side, but, you know, shit never rolls downhill).
Or maybe there is a better cat analogy (after all, cats do also lick their own assholes), but the rulers of the IoC might object.
This looks like a good place to mention something I spotted in an ad elsewhere:
Needs more orange.
Price of scrap copper is 4.28, meaning .2675 of copper goes into every $1.59 coin. Assume SG&A is equal to COGS (just because) and we have a nice $1.05 profit per.
Anyone else see what is happening to the word ‘meaning’? I’m seeing that one word in a different font.
Wait… it has to do with the dollar signs (which are missing). Ugh, dammit.
?COGS? “Cost Of Getting Screwed?”
Cost of goods sold.
Yeah, it’s not just the word “meaning”. I don’t know about anyone else, but I have no idea what any of that post means…
Is it my imagination, or is his nose running on that coin?
Might just be the way the light hits his philtrum.
