I've got an eiderdown comforter and it rules. Keeps you warm in the winter and it's not too hot in the summer. 99% of the year it's always at a comfortable uniform temperature, there's maybe a few days in August when it's too hot.

cjs: losing students quick during my (i think) extremely fun summer course. but it has been literally three weeks of fantastic summer weather in a place rarely blessed with such. choosing a very optimistic viewpoint on the overall quality. both of the course and the time the students are having.

that slogan is a lot older than the opera commercial. jg wentworth has had ads on tv since the early 90s many of which had that phrase.

Probably none of them aired near hbag, though, so my juxtaposition was still quite dumb :)

no, but

quote:

I had a mini fridge that would run fine when you first plugged it in, but as soon as it got down to temp it would shut off and never turn on again until it was unplugged and plugged back in


the solution was to put it on a timer

i mean THIS fridge switches off when it reaches its target temperature, yeah, but i mean the problem with it was you'd plug it in, it'd flick on for a half-second, then off, then on again, over and over, which made me think it was an electrical fault
someone said it might be hair stopping the fan and that causing it to not work, so i cleaned the fan, that didn't fix it either, so i just chalked it up to the minifridge being cheap and bad and left it unplugged

now i went back and plugged it in while i was waiting for my pc to boot and suddenly it works fine

in 2020, when everyone was sent home, facilities stole our minifridge and gave it to marketing despite no one going to the office aside from the tech department rotating once a month or so to make sure that the hardware didn't go tits up

we never got it back and i will never forgive them for that
