although for the Gym Class Heroes cover-ish version of “Breakfast in America,” one time just for fun I ripped the audio and made a clip of just all the instances of “badaDaDA” strung together (almost 30 seconds worth) 
I’m on the back porch doing some non-actuarializing when all of a sudden I hear the smoke alarms go off (doors & windows were open). I race in to see I left the oven on at 400° (American)…nope, it’s 4:00 PM. I start walking through the house to try to determine which smoke alarm alarmingly alarmed when I see out the front window the Fede→x truck drive by…it must have been backing up.

I do not like onion, I do not like chive, but boy do I love chive and onion cream cheese on a bagel.

Cream cheese absolves a multitude.

Instead of going from 2:00 AM back to 1:00 AM on a Sunday how about if we “fall back” the first Wednesday after the first Monday in November? That way we can stay up and watch election results. That’s the night I need an extra hour of sleep.

I keep getting served Temu ads that say “Shop like a billionaire”. I imagine that is the exact opposite of the way most billionaires shop.

Mowing the lawn would be a whole lot more relaxing and less sweaty if Mrs. Hoffman was doing it instead of me.

I bought a battery operated lawn mower. No more gas and oil and pull start, way less noise. And light enough my spouse can cut the lawn. And sometimes if she doesn’t like my timeframe, she does.
Mind you she also ran over a tree stump and blew up the blade.

My ex and I saw one when we were together one time and he was confused as to what it was. He was shocked when I told him and really didn’t believe me.
I’m curious about them but they seem to range in price from $550 to $4,200 and I have a tiny amount of lawn to mow. So while I do need to buy a mower… I’m probably going to get the cheapest electric one I can find.
Random thought:
Whatever company Costco has contracted with to make its pesto has upped the preservatives.
It used to get moldy within 3 weeks of opening irrespective of the expiration date.
Today I had an open jar with half a portion of pesto that expired in August and a full unopened jar that expires in December.
I was fully prepared to pitch the August pesto but on a lark I opened the jar and… it smelled fine. Good, even. So… I used it. Tasted fine too. 
I haven’t had store bought pesto in a while. Obviously.
I, uh, wonder what they’re doing to it to keep it fresh for that long though.

I have such a small lawn that I would consider it. I have a regular old self-powered toro push mower but recently moved into a house with a tiny, tiny front lawn…nothing in the back yard (wife landscaped all of that)…at some point she’ll tear out the grass in front & plant real plants there instead of the the military landscaping that the builder installed.
they’re not the best-best, but I would consider a reel mower. (I’m not saying you should consider one. I’m just saying that I would consider one.)
I would drive that around town before I’d ever get inside a cybertruck.

I don’t use one of those, though my lawn mower is battery operated (dewalt!).
However, this morning I picked up a $2600 robo vacuum cleaner from that ‘free if you review it’ amazon program I’m part of. Our house has 4 levels so not sure how much use it’ll be, but gosh, mostly, free $2600 vacuum cleaner.
For $2600 it ought to handle stairs.

Lol, my spouse asked me how it handled stairs. Holy crap sometimes she’s technically illiterate.
I told her it has little legs that come out and it jumps.
