I bought a tabletop ice maker from Costco for $80 three years ago, and have never ever regretted it. It doesn’t pull a lot of power and works pretty fast.

The downside is cleaning it, it’s cheap so you can’t easily break it down and rebuild it, so you’ve got to get creative.

Edit: I see you said “nugget” now, (which I don’t exactly know what that means), but these ice pieces are not rock hard like refrigerator ice, fwiw.

Pearl by Josh Malerman (Bird Box).

It’s about a pig on a small farm that can seep into your mind and make you do and see terrible things. I picked it up after reading Bird Box and a few other books of his, which I enjoyed. I expected to give up on it based on the silly 80s horror movie premise, but the book is truly demented and creepy and I felt existentially weird after reading it

Thank you, kind stranger!

When I was 10/11 we went to Florida to visit family/go to the Disney world or land, water parks, etc… as Alaskans this was a big hot awesome vacation trip and we flew for a day and a half to get there.

Two cousins were there and they were the same age as my brother, around 13/14. It was swiftly decided that I wasn’t allowed to play with them or go anywhere with them. If we went swimming, all 3 would dunk me. One time we went to watch a rocket launch, and they were being so mean to me it made my mom start silently crying.

So, obviously, I went to Disney with everyone and experienced the entire park just me and my grandma, who needed to rest often.

It is worth mentioning that my father had died a year or so earlier.

Yeah, that vacation was really upsetting, I am 37 and still get depressed about it sometimes

They come in pints?? I’m getting one, you piece of shit.

I’m glad you have a lovely family, I’m glad all of you have lovely families… sorry that you are bald and fat, but hey that’s alright. I don’t think I’ll say hi next time, so please don’t either.

-me being bullied by my dad’s friend’s kids. For a decade. They once broke my arm and hid me so I couldn’t tell their parents.

I fucking hate them so much.

Oooooooh this one is fun, as I just solved the riddle today! I kept getting Korn’s Falling Away From Me stuck in my head, which would morph into other Korn songs, etc. I couldn’t figure out why the fuck it was in my head so much. Today in the shower I had Nookie in my head which is a song I only recently remembered existed in the first place. For whatever reason, nookie morphed into In the End. And then. THEN it turned into Falling Away From Me because of the similarities of the piano ending of In the End reminding me of the guitar intro to Falling Away.

I have been going through this for days. It drives me nuts. Why on earth would Nookie be in my head? I’m 37, and I did my time with Limp Bizkit and Korn… cut to today when my phone alarm went off before work.

I have an alarm set to play The Head That Controls Both Right and Left Sides Eats Meats and Slobbers Even Today, because the beginning is a Japanese woman absolutely shredding vocally. It is a good wakeup.

So. Today, and all last week, I’ve had a rapid earworm race from The Head–>Nookie–>End–>Falling Away. All the way to work in the morning.

After that it’s just whatever is playing around me.

Might change my alarm.
