That's not warranted for the very very unlikely chance of that happening vs the impact that would have on getting chores done. Just keep your appliances well maintained and in good condition and then use them whenever it's convenient

    Do any modern movies use revolvers? The only reason i can see for using a revolver is if the movie is set in the past or if there's a plot reason to be using an old gun like e.g. it was his grandfather's

    WW2 rationing really messed up their culinary scene

    What? That doesn't make sense. Even if it was a decade of rationing, that wouldn't completely wipe out and replace a culture's cuisine. Just look at all the other countries that had rationing during ww2 and other wars, and their food is still flavorful.

    Also this isn't ancient history stuff, if what you said was true then we'd see that British cuisine was radically better before ww2, but it's not the case

    Doesn't look like any other micro image of hair I've ever seen. In all the other pics i can find online hair looks a lot rougher than that. Maybe it's a synthetic hair?

    I'm an American (sorry for ruining the world) and i just tried Vegemite. I was surprised to find that i neither love it or hate it. From the way people talk about it I thought it was this EXTREME thing that supposedly you love or hate. It's certainly a strong flavor, but it's not like wasabi level intense. To me it tastes very similar to the burnt bits stuck to the pan after cooking a burger.

    I tried it straight and the first taste made me say "huh" out loud. The best thing I've tried it on is croutons (because i didn't have bread to toast). I've tried it with a few other random foods and it doesn't seem to improve anything.

    Is it unusual for someone to have a neither love or hate opinion of it?

    Is there any specific food you recommend to use it with?

     

    I have access to a small finished rooftop and i want to see if you can think of any use for it. It's hard to get to because you have to go out a window then up a fire escape. And there's a couple of nice places to sit right outside my building, so i never wind up going to the roof.

    I considered growing vegetables up there but it's hard enough to access that that probably wouldn't be enough to draw me up there and they'd probably just die of neglect.

    It's about 8 x 10 feet, and a pain to get to.

    Can you think of anything worth doing with it?

    EDIT:

    I can't permanently change anything to it, like installing a major solar construction.

     

    I was thinking, there's a ton of rooftop space on top of nyc apartment buildings, and it's often pretty easy to get onto the roofs. Are there any potted plants i can leave up there that need zero care and are good for local pollinators or native wildlife or whatever?

    They'd need to be small and light enough to climb up with.

    Ideas?
