Most of my mom’s cookware is ceramic with that design on it

I have no idea where she got it, but I have a feeling she would say “wedding gift”

They were married in 1975

Good ol’ GE, such a quirky product line: coffee makers, jet engines, alarm clocks, gatling guns, washing machines, and nuclear power plants.

Well, if you can make a washing machine, you can make a nuclear power plant.

I’m pretty sure that pot predates that machine. Nice.

And we had both!

Popcorn machine from 1978 still going strong after being fixed and repaired by me three times now. I bought one new modern popcorn machine because it was on sale … it burnt out in two months and the built in electronics were designed to never be fixed. The old 1978 unit is basically just a blower motor operated by switch, controlled by a simple thermostat attached to a heating coil … every part is easily accessible and can be fixed … all of it easily repairable, fixable and parts replaceable.

Dull Men's Club

Create post

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men’s Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an “Africa, by Toto” option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.
