I mean… you could use it with a portable USB power supply during a blackout. But really… This is an emergency situation just COPE WITHOUT it.

  • I actually really like that the washing machine and my makita charger do those noises just because I’ve never heard appliances do musical stuff before and think it’s really cool. BUUUUT:

    I would totally hate it if anything.* aaaanything at allllll* in the kitchen were to make music the same way. Microwaves – and the oven – and the pressure cooker – are already extremely loud and obnoxious as they are.

    The washing machine and battery charger are somehow fine just because I don’t associate them with the kitchen appliances I grew up being screamed-at by. The whole ‘conditioned to be annoyed by X but when Y does it it’s fine’ thing


  • Severe overuse of magic circles. Why not be more sparing about when these are drawn? They don’t have to be used around every little itty-bitty minor use of magic --that’s just annoying and well… kinda makes the artwork embarrassing to look at.

    Also, aliens that seem too dumb to own spacecraft. They just grunt and roar and crawl around like zombies with laserbeams and have seemingly no plan or motive whatsoever. There needs to be more “OH mY god tHey talk!”. My favorite is when they are portrayed as having gentlemanly eloquent speech because I find that more intimidating in a villain.









  • I just wish people would step up to a bigger scale when it’s needed or to a smaller scale for the same reason. I hate seeing big massive boats measured in thousands upon thousands of centimeters instead of just using meters or feet, and it’s annoying when people say their height in hundreds of millimeters.

    Or when knife-blade thickness gets measured in hundredths of decimal inches or weird fractional measurements instead of just using millimeters since it’s a smaller unit.



  • I really hate when plastic tupperwares ooze grease even if you wash them ten times . If baking soda doesn’t work, there is an even stronger option: washing soda.

    I use baking soda to wash holiday glassware that spends all year on top of the nasty cabinets above the stove and it kills the sticky mildew feel almost instantly. But when push comes to shove, washing soda is even more insane than baking soda.

    Just be sure to rinse thoroughly so it doesn’t end up in the food
