So, you guys remember that amazing "NeverWet(tm)" stuff that makes any material 100% hydrophobic, so that you can dribble chocolate sauce right off your shoes or pour water on your phone?

Yeah, turns out it disintegrates in sunlight.
Gizmodo did some really random testing of NeverWet as well.

Other drawbacks:
- Can't protect against continuous immersion
- Chalky film that constantly flakes off and sticks to skin
- Definitely not abrasion resistant
- Smells awful
- Requires more top coats than base coats, so you'll run out of one can faster than the other.
- More than $1 per sqare foot of coverage

I'm really struggling to figure out what this would be useful for. I guess a diaper pail might still be a candidate for coating, if the smell dissapates. You couldn't use it on lawn furniture, because of the sun issue, but also because it'd rub off on clothes. I wouldn't use it on a litter box because who knows if what flakes off is toxic. It can't be put on anything that you handle or touch. Maybe there's some sort of elaborate pratcial joke that can be pulled off using this?

Yeah, the whole sunlight thing really kills 90% of its possible applications, and the smell probably takes care of the other 10%.
 
By which I mean taking a pretty generic "Hi I'm Kevin, we have stuff in common, let's chat a bit, blah blah blah!" type of message and only slightly adding specific details for each girl, and then sending it to like 8 girls in 3 minutes.

Cast a wide enough net, you're sure to catch... something.
 
I should elucidate!

This is more of a situation where these are girls I would have messaged anyway, but have been strugglnig to come up with something interesting to break the ice with.

So instead, I knocked several out of the way very quickly with a form letter. If I get no responses, then at least I can say I [technically] tried.

I met me wife with such a message on OKC, by the way. She didn't feel particularly wowed but my profile did enough of the talking to inspire a response.

That's kind of how I feel. As long as we have a couple things in common and they bother to check out my profile at all, I feel like we can at least chat.
 
You know what?

Wolverine has ALWAYS looked better in his brown and yellow outfit than in his blue and yellow one.

Real talk.

 
LIFE

WHAT

I am so confused. Good things appear to be happening? That can't be. Is this a trap? It's a trap, isn't it, Life? Yeaaaah. Yeah. It's a trap. Only explanation.
 
I can't wait to fuckin' move. I'm sure my tune will change when it actually happens and I'm forever alone but we'll see.
Being on my own is great 90% of the time. I'm outstanding at being alone. But sometimes it gets to me.

But like.. freedom to cook and read and listen to whatever I want whenever I want... it's lovely
 
I really like Gatorade's Lime and Cucumber flavor. I was helping my dad install a pocket door. He made a 1:1 gatorade:water mix with a generous shake of salt in it. Super tasty and refreshing. I think I am going to try to make my own homemade version.
