My sister thinks naming houseplants is silly, but I've had 'Frank' the fiddle leaf fig for 3 years now

My basil plant Herb gets the same treatment.

Remembering my grandpa's reaction to watching a whole season of 'The Wire' in one weekend back in 2008.

Remember reading about how TV networks hated DVD box sets at first. They were scared people would stop watching weekly. Then shows like Lost and 24 got huge because you could watch the whole story fast. That was the real test run for how we watch now. Streaming just took away the trip to the store.

So last week I had to deliver a massive 'get well' arrangement to a guy who turned out to be allergic to every single flower in it.

Right, because who has the space for a giant flower thing in their living room? Makes you wonder if the whole story is even real, or if they're just making up details for attention.

Can we talk about the 'waterproof' radio I bought for the dive boat?

Isn't it crazy how many things are like this now? Like @kaimiller said, the rating makes you feel safe but the real world use is totally different. I mean it's not just watches, it's with everything from phone cases to backpacks. They sell you on a lab test result that has nothing to do with actual life. Makes you not trust any of the numbers on the box anymore.

Question about adding water to a slow cooker pot roast

That "splash of beef broth" method is key. It forces the meat to release its own juices, which makes the flavor way more concentrated.
