i have to admit that i am intrigued by the idea of looking externally rather than internally for a grocery list

I have definitely googled "things people get from the grocery store" before, so I am not here to judge. I don't remember it being helpful.

This series is invaluable. It is both a reassurance that our own search histories are fine, while allowing us to giggle at the search histories of others. Yes, I googled 'invaluable' there at that first part to make sure I was using it correctly.

1. Did Mike Isaac sound as nervous as he reads in this interview?

2.The can opener thing has to be a reference to the Bean Dad Twitter thread

The water has tiny bubbles in it. From my experience this happens when a diffuser on the faucet makes the water come out at high pressure. It's not oxygenation, which refers to dissolved oxygen, which would not be visible but is important to fish.

Just wanted to chime in to note that there are like 50 different Irish moving companies in San Francisco, they're all pretty good, and it is impossible to remember which one you used recently, because they don't really exist on the Internet. I think I've used a different one each time?

I’m not sure where you take requests (or if you do, or if this is still a thing):

I would like in-depth research, similar to your Defector post, on if the CocoMelon dad is packin’. He is a model father in the show, in ways I could never hole to be, but he also seems to have a massive hog.

Ok I REMEMBER the can opener thing. It was so stupid. Someone was saying you're "supposed" to open it with the blade on the outer cylinder, and just slicing the whole top off including the ridge. It was patently incorrect and is absolutely a way to shred your hand on a jagged can edge AND introduce foreign bacteria far more efficiently than the proper way.

Any chance the can opener thing was related to Bean Dad? Christ, that was this year?

Also, do Kevin Roose next.
