I used to be a cashier.

Contrary to popular belief, if you bring the cashier some "funny" combination of things, they are unlikely to notice.

If you want them to remember you forever, bring them an entire, full size cart, filled to the brim with one item and nothing else.

This is about the time someone cleared all of the bananas with no explanation, as if that were normal.

Random advice:

1. Remember, the world is a lot smaller than you might think.
2. Don't use AI for electrical wiring diagrams, unless your life insurance is paid up.
3. The more fame and fortune, the less you might want to trust that person, based on a leaked email database.
4. The grass is not greener on the side of the fence, which is occupied by Nazis.
5. Do not pick the poison oak, even if it's got pretty flowers (right about now).
6. Apparently, though, you can eat raw stinging nettle. 😬
7. Don't drink raw milk while pregnant.
8. Make sure you are up on your measles vax, and your kids, too, and avoid the anti-vaxxer church with your infant.

Random question for the fediverse... Have a relative with a SimpliSafe system (old), just door sensors and an alarm. Might need a refresh. Thoughts on open/non subscription replacements? General thoughts? (aside from the fact that security companies seem to prey on little old ladies... when all they do is call the cops if an alarm goes off. 🤨 ) Main requirement is detecting if a door opens and sounding an alarm if nobody hits a keypad or remote. (ie scare the opportunistic burglar sort of thing) #random

Also, "Mexican food" which is this menu... must include shredded iceberg lettuce. I think there is a rubber-stamp "ethnic" food genre (Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Indian) which gets replicated across every large and small town due to 1950's and 1960's Americans tiptoeing into "ethnic" food, and only later (or never) do you get more authentic, non-American versioned restaurants... 🤔 #random #food

it is a chair, or a toilet seat (or maybe an art piece?!?) ? 🤪

If you're making a New Year's resolution
Maybe there's really only one solution
If you never ever get any of them done
Maybe you shouldn't even make one

Why make plans you won't carry through
I say, the only way to make do
Make plans for tomorrow or next week
And keep on getting them done on a streak

It's a lot better than a lofty list
Which every item you have missed
My goal tomorrow is to wake up with my wits intact
That is my only goal, in fact.

waiting for the cultured collective to start playing. #random #yerevan #erevan #theculturedcollective.

Violin, anonymous, c. 1705 - c. 1710
This tin-glazed earthenware violin cannot be played, for it is a decorative object. When the collector John Loudon purchased it for a record 1500 guilders in 1876, this violin was considered to be the absolute masterpiece of Delft earthenware. The modelling and painted decoration
certainly make it an exceptional object.

Gift of the heirs of J.F. Loudon, The Hague
earthenware, h c.63cm × w c.23cm × d c.10cm
