    TIL That the stormtrooper who hit his head on the door in the original Star Wars was also the stormtrooper who got mind tricked with “these are not the droids you’re looking for”. His name is Wanten.

    The New Google Sites doesn't have a duplicate feature. This is so basic I am having a hard time understanding why. Crazy.

    TIL Metallica’s ‘Master of Puppets’ was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" enough for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the United States Library of Congress in 2016, the first metal recording to do so.

    I might be able to teach you. I self-taught. If I can do it, you can, too! :)

    It's only $1 to smack it.
    The $49 is to know where to smack it.

    If you didn't try that first then you had that coming...

    I guess I haven't fixed appliances enough to know that technique. I don't typically go around smacking broken things. This is my go-to now, though.

    Also, you shouldn't store fresh flowers near fruit (learned this during the grocery store days)

    Did you know that you could add a cap full of Vodka to the water to keep cut flowers (buttercups) longer?

    TIL that shaving while listening to George Clintons Erotic City is very tough. Hard to keep the blade moving in unison with the head bobbing to beat of the music.

    I didn't! I'm just an expert at killing plants. I've decided they look very nice out in nature, instead of dead in my house.

    Doesn't work for roses :( Don't put in too much or else the flowers will start to smell like vodka...Wait, don't they say that vodka does not smell. :/
