Next year, Bird of the Year will be a moth or a dragonfly.

It always makes me smile when I find a cool solution for an annoying problem.

The problem is toothpaste tubes. Some can just be folded up as you use them, so you can keep squeezing the toothpaste out. But others, for some reason, don't stay folded. The toothpaste spreads out through the tube and as it empties, squeezing it becomes a two-handed job since you have to work the toothpaste forward. I ran into this issue when I switched to Sensodyne.

The cool solution is a binder spring clip. This can be clipped over the end of the tube as it is rolled up, keeping it in place. The toothpaste can then easily be squeezed with one hand.

Did the bat itself actually identify as a bird................and what's its preferred pronoun?

I just use the edge of the vanity. Similar to this video

Or you can buy any number of things to assist - as a kid we had "keys" that helped you to roll the toothpaste tube like on an old fashioned Tuna can lid. 

Now there's things like this:Cutesy tube squeezers

@MadEngineer: I took a Beam while a workmate jumped on a Lime just to compare the speed.

 

What you mean is that you decided to race outside.

MadEngineer: Rode my first e-scooter ride today after three companies have started up in Palmy. An almost 12 minute ride cost me $6.40.

Yup - that's why I ended up buying my own, as I used it for the commute before we weren't allowed to commute. 

My Bird of the Year is a Tiger-Moth which I flew in Kent (G-ACDC) :-)

I know it's a low blow to make fun of someone's accent, but it still amused me to hear the chief executive of Microsoft talking about the "metaworse".

That they found Cleo Smith alive after 17 days from being abducted. I don't have words for how amazing that is.

Eva888: One can only hope she has little memory of her ordeal when she grows up.

I can only hope she wasn't seriously harmed.
