    TIL The town of Dull in Scotland has been twinned with the town of Boring, Oregon since 2012. In 2013 the town of Bland, Australia joined them in what has become known as the 'Trinity of Tedium'.

    I drive through Boring, OR, every time I go visit my brother. I can confirm one thing: Boring, OR, is in fact, Boring.

    You can lose attachment to someone you never thought you would. It doesn't mean you don't care for them, it just means your world doesn't revolve around them anymore and that's a great *kitten* feeling.

    TIL that a repair guy will charge you $50 to smack the control panel of your washing machine to get it working again.

    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.

    Did you have an NES growing up? I beat the daylights out of mine. Still works.
