As in, you think you're holding something pretty normally and all of a sudden you're juggling it around and it's on floor. Just done this with a jar of salt at work. Proper nobber. I wouldn't worry. It's probably just motor neurone disease. 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) I think probably all of us get our phones out when sat on the pot, but is it weird to do it when you're at a urinal? I do it, but then instantly put my phone back in my pocket if I hear somebody coming in, so I must think it's weird.

I've just had that "half-way down a flight of stairs and suddenly the brain has a panic and forgets how stairs work" moment. It'll be one of the numskulls on a break, no doubt.

As soon as I think about the fact i'm going down some stairs, I forget how to operate my legs and have to grab the handrail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted May 29, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 29, 2018 Is it true that American kettles don't switch themselves off when the water boils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that electric kettles, as in kettles specifically designed almost exclusively to heat water for hot drinks, just aren't really a thing in America. And yeah, when they do have kettles it's one of those old fashioned ones that you put on the stove and they whistle when it's ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just heard a radio interview with the guy who invented the automatic cutoff system, and he was saying that he once calculated that if you replaced all U.S. electric kettles with British ones, you could save the equivalent power output of several nuclear reactors. Probably hyperbole, but it just surprised me that not all kettles have cutoffs. Seems mad. Edited May 29, 2018 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think electric kettles are pretty rare in the US though, but haven't bothered to research it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours even let us set the temperature depending what type of tea or coffee we were drinking. A feature I never used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
