I just enjoyed some Breyers Vanilla / Chocolate / Strawberry ice cream and was pleasantly surprised to find the strawberry actually had bits of strawberry in it, not just flavor!
The Happy thread!

Was it actually ice cream of 'frozen desert'? I just can't do anything other than ice cream. I need my milk fat.
Co-op's ice cream > any other grocer IMO. I've ate a whole lot of ice cream and nothing compares. Their Cookies 'N Cream or the Chocolate Fudge Sundae are top tier.

my fav dairy is Island Diary from Vancouver Island, but alas, they don't have as much penetration into the mainland but for their ice cream, and even then, it's pretty slim.
I'm okay with frozen yogurt, or at least, used to...haven't had it in a very very long time.

I love USB 3.x! moving a lot of files that add up to high capacities is so much nicer, easier and faster!
I just transferred 48GB in less than a minute from a flash driver to my laptop!

Bought a used Breville stand mixer like 3 months ago. It didn't work right. Only highest speed. Contacted seller and and after her response of 'excuse me, I just made pancakes with it on Sunday' she blocked me.
I tried cleaning the speed sensor and it seemed to work for a few seconds but then went back to high. Find a store in USA that sells them. I ordered but it was back ordered for months. Was so close to cancelling. Then throwing the breville mixer on sellers step.
But finally just heard the sensor shipped. Better work tho as it was $50. Not sure why it needs a damn sensor. Why does a mixer need to be 'high tech'.

Have a Dell G15 w/ 5800H + 3060. Great @ gaming but all the Dell crap left a bad taste in my mouth. Almost all the time you'd update Nvidia drivers you'd lose the ability to dim your display. Even w/ the drivers dell supplied. So you'd have to use drivers that are like 2 years old or not dim the display. I did find a solution about a year ago where you need to disable the integrated GPU. It worked but absolutely killed battery life.
Download newest drivers from Dell yesterday. Go and re-enable the integrated GPU. And dimming works! Battery went from an estimated 3.5 hours on battery saver mode to 10!
I almost never use it on battery so I've always limited the battery charge to 60% as running a battery @ full charge for a long time ain't great. Checked the battery health since the laptop is 3 years old. Still 100% health.

spent the lats two days building FliteTest aircraft with my grandson and having fun! he's a natural tinkerer / builder, so he fights me when I insist he watch the video tutorials on assembling the aircraft. he's not resisting me so much now because he's learning that his aircraft won't fly when he doesn't follow the instructions to a t. I'm actually quite surprised at myself, because I DETEST things that are fiddly with a passion, and anything RC is very fiddly...and I'm not frustrated or anything.
we lost the FT Freighter to the wind though...and my grandsons inexperience of how to fly and what to do when something like wind carries the plane away. fortuntaely it swing around and got close enuff that when I told him to kill the the throttle it crashed into a tree on the edge of someones backyard rather than in the forested area. it's like 30ft up...but, we know where it is, so we have hope to recover!

Bought a couple of window AC units 3ish weeks ago. 12000BTU one for the kitchen / living room. Then 4 or so days later bought a 8000BTU one for bedroom. The 12000BTU ran for about 16 hours a day for 5 to 6 days. But hasn't been used since. But I have the bedroom one running all night long keeping bedroom @ 17C.
In that period the 12000BTU used 20kWh. The bedroom one uses on average about 1kWh a night, 19kWh so far. So I've spent a whopping $9 on AC.
