Has anyone found good, nutritious food via the Too Good to Go app? In my area, it’s mostly coffee/donut shops getting rid of pastries at the end of the day plus a few low-rated fast food joints. I like the concept, but the execution fails.

Replacing the wax seal under a toilet is my least favorite home repair. Thankfully, a friend came over to help me align the toilet on the bolts.

@leahremini.bsky.social I thought your A&E series was great and have just started from the beginning of your podcast. What a mouth you have. 😂 People Puzzler would be even more entertaining if you didn’t have to clean up your language.

I was just chatting with a friend traveling through London and mentioned a story I’d heard about Harrods having a guy whose job was to be fired on the spot to mollify an irate customer. Can anyone confirm or debunk?

I have questions… Why is Lukashenko the one mediating? Why would either side care what he thinks? What happens next with the Wagner group? And, is it wrong to be disappointed that they didn’t make it all the way to Moscow?

Random question: After brushing my dog, I'm left with some fur she wasn't using anymore. Should the fur go into the compost bin (that the city picks up) or the garbage bin?

Speaking of classified materials, I wonder what assets, i.e., USN subs with sophisticated listening devices, we have deployed to the search. Did a Canadian P-3 really hear the sounds, or was it a sub lurking about?

Since I assume Reddit wants to force folks to their platforms to get eyeballs on ads, has anyone organized a boycott of advertisers on Reddit? Wouldn’t that get their attention tout de suite?

Does anyone remember the text-based, Unix Adventure Game? I’m in IKEA and all I can think is, “You are in a maze of twisty passages all alike.” I tried “plugh” and “xyzzy,” but nothing happened.

Here’s a confusing color choice: if someone you don’t follow is reskeeted by someone you do, the button to follow them is grey. But when looking at the profile of someone you follow, the following button is also grey. I’ve mistakenly unfollowed a few folks now. @pfrazee.com
