__________ is/are underrated.

(I note our master bathroom toilet has a lighted seat, too, which makes it particularly easy to tell.)

This is a thing? I had no idea, and now I want one.

Nightlights...not just for kids anymore. I do enjoy them in the hotel bathrooms that include them (the under-light switch method is the least obtrusive).

We use the holder and keep toilet paper rolls on the back of the tank.

My wife isn't particular about me leaving the seat up, but I am pretty good about putting it back down.  If anything, I still joke about women refusing to look where they sit.  They must sit in all sorts of stuff.

We have the Kohler Nightlight lighted toilet seat. Got it at Home Depot; it was $5 more than the standard model. It uses four AA batteries to power the light (I use rechargeable batteries and I wipe them down when it's time to recharge) and the light is on for about ten hours each night–you turn it on the first night when you want it to go on and it then turns on automatically at that time each night and turns off automatically the next morning. We generally don't bother adjusting the on/off times for DST, either.

Note that if you're picturing a seat with lights in the seat, sort of like a glowing halo or similar, you would be disappointed. There is a blue light at the back underneath the seat that casts a blue glow that is visible regardless of whether the seat and the lid are up or down; it allows you to see the seat's position and to see the toilet bowl.


Edited to add: Prior to getting this seat, we tried a clip-on device called a "Glow Bowl," but it stopped working within two months. Right around the same time, the old toilet seat on that toilet cracked and that's when I discovered that Kohler makes lighted seats.

When you open a package of candy, and it randomly happens to contain none of your least favorite flavor.

Occasionally, I'll buy one of those boxes Frito-Lay has that has an assortment of lunch-size bags of chips. (I find it easier to not overeat that way.) During the pandemic, I got one of them home before I noticed a sticker that basically said that due to the pandemic, the flavor distribution was likely to be wonky. I opened the box and it contained one of each flavor advertised and then they filled the rest of the box with Doritos. Now, I like Doritos, but man, that was a lot of Doritos.

I'll go literal and say _ is underrated in Python.

_, results = func(args) is a canonical way of letting other devs (and IDEs, etc.) know that you are discarding a return value.

[Scott5114]

Python programmers make fun of Perl's punctuation variables, then re-invent them.

I think I would have enjoyed that. I like Doritos but not so much Cheetos or Fritos or barbecue flavored potato chips.

I pack a nightlight in my suitcase when traveling and plug it into the hotel bathroom electric socket so I don't have to turn on any lights to find the bathroom.

Poiponen13's ideas (more like thought experiments) that the US should be building new islands, creating new jade mass transit lines, and putting robot tigers in the median of roundabouts.

Indeed the shadows have lengthened and the second front has opened:

I don't know about that but it does go great on pizza.

But that would mean it's warm. I like it much better cut and eaten fresh.

I eat pineapple stand-alone and poki bowls cold.  It's fine but I prefer oranges over pineapple in a stand-alone or cold fruit situation.

I don't mind oranges taste-wise, but prefer pineapple because it's less stringy and easier to eat when cut.

And canned mandarin oranges made me gag as a kid, which I think still affects my enjoyment of oranges.

Pineapple is amazing, but it gives my mouth sores more readily than other fruits.
