Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Or rain-x anti-fog or similar coating to achieve the same.

Or a secret room behind the mirror at a warmer temperature

Oh high neighbors! No, no, I'm not shaving the car again! This is so it doesn't fog!

This reminds me of something I heard on the radio a million years ago:

https://www.npr.org/2018/09/29/652927798/-1839-the-chia-pontiac

Here's Click and Clack from the Car Talk radio show

Putting this show on is so bittersweet. I miss this from my upbringing and these two guys were so great; I was genuinely sad when I heard one of them had passed

I'll try to get the timestamp for the relevant part, but the title of the episode hopefully gives a hint and it's worth listening to it in the entirety anyways

Edit: alright, the timestamp is 31:50!

Edit 2: I forgot to include who it is

I just woke up. Is that click and clack the tappet brothers?

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yes!!! I love those guys

I grew up with my family listening to NPR so some of my fondest memories are getting up to my parents or grandparents making breakfast with that on, or any other of their wonderful shows

I used to enjoy my teenage time listening to them while helping dad build stuff in the backyard.
