It may or may not have been from the shot glass that fell in there and I did not see when I turned it on.
Anyway. I think I've gotten all the glass out of it so maybe they won't come in to replace it and immediately peg me for the goddamned idiot that I am.

Are you sure it's totally dead? A lot of them when hard stuff gets in and they jam go into a safe mode where they won't actually engage the motor until you clean them out and hit a big Reset button on them.
I learned this the hard way when the metal spigot of an icing bag fell into ours without us noticing and I was convinced we had destroyed the disposal 4 months after moving in.
Watched Airplane recently and now we're working through the Naked Gun films. God I miss Leslie Nielson.
ZAZ noted that other directors subsequently just threw him onto set and expected him to be that level of funny, like how Rogan and Apatow just kind of assume one of their thousand adlibbed scenes will be gold... he is extremely good but he excelled in ZAZ movies because of how well-written they were and how well he could execute painstakingly choreographed/rehearsed scenes. I mean, there's a reason he was a dramatic actor for the first like 40 years of his career.
I'm glad that 30 Rock and similar comedies resisted that lazy approach but mourn the decline of comedy writing on the big screen

Also you can take an allen wrench to the bottom of your garbage disposal to manually turn it and help clear out any remaining glass before hitting the reset. Should come right back on after that.

Well there was smoke coming out of the motor and, now I'm no expert, but that usually don't bode well.
Growing up I always found the notion of garbage disposals very exotic and terrifying every kitchen sink drain has an actual monster in it that will scream and grind up your hands and arms at any moment
As an adult I've only been in the presence of one once I turned it on just to see and it was every bit as frightening as Id always imagined
Boy its real rough sitting down wanting to draw something and then not being able to do it and you're left completely creatively unfulfilled and angry at your lack of ability.
Errrrr day, ya'll. Errrrr day.
I wanted to inspire you with that miyazaki twitter thread. Whoops, I guess you already might know that
I keep losing spoons down there and whenever I turn it on with one in it my whole ass soul jettisons from body.
yeah I've done it like twice and it's a slow motions 'oh nooo' segwayed in my soul screaming inside my skull

I also grew up without garbage disposals. So the first time I lived in an apartment that had one, I found a stopper under the sink that looked like this:
I grew up with stoppers that looked like this:
So my schema for sink stoppers was they look like a little bowl that you put into the sink hole to keep the water out. So I promptly put it in upside down, thusly:
As you can see, there's nothing to grasp on that side except a smooth vertical plastic flange. I filled the sink with water, washed the dishes or whatever, and then tried to pull it out. Couldn't. Too much water pressure, nothing to grab onto. I tried applying sidewise pressure and twisting it around and getting my fingernails under the edge and couldn't figure out this devilish puzzle. So I went and grabbed a pair of needle-nose pliers and popped it out with those.
And instead of immediately realizing that I was doing the wrong one of the two possible things I could do with that stopper, I thought "man, that's a really poorly designed stopper. Or I'm just missing the trick of it somehow." And the next time I needed to fill the sink with water, I did the same damn thing.
I was pretty young and stupid, this was my first college apartment, must have been around 2004. So after a few times, I figured it out. Right?
Reader, I realized what the fuck I was doing wrong this year. I don't know exactly what broke the logjam, but I was getting ready to fill the sink with water to degrease my stove grates. I looked at the plug wondering if I should drill a hole in the plastic flange and run a length of ceiling fan chain through it so I could use that for some leverage. When I suddenly realized that it would still block the drain even with the "plug side" up, and that looked much easier to grasp. And then I said a bad word, loudly, alone in my kitchen.
to be fair to you, that's a really shitty design for a stopper for that exact reason, you'd want a grabbable knob on both sides.

I grew up without a garbage disposal (my parents' house's sewage was a septic tank until a couple years ago when they went onto town sewer) and the first apartment I had with one was an absolute revelation. God, they're nice.

oh wow did I not realize just how much I missed the ocean.
the point of this park is near the mouth of the harbour and while I’ve been here a half dozen times since I moved, today we walked along the shore trail and the weather was just perfect for a proper Ocean Mood - overcast, cool without being freezing, and windy enough to put a salt spray in the air and make some proper crashing waves, even sheltered as it was
I just kind of stood there, closed my eyes and took it all in for a few moments. It was easily the most at peace I’ve felt in a long time
Heck yeah, the ocean! I went out to a river mouth last week to see if the sandbar had broken from storms swelling it yet, it hadn't, but I got some nice photos of waves and fog and such.

I’m not a religious or even particularly spiritual person, but there’s something about the sound of waves crashing ashore, and the energy in the air that makes me feel a certain way that’s hard to put into words. I can very easily see how people came to create so many gods and spirits associated with the sea

Oh let me tell ya'll something else I learned about sink garbage disposals: the dish washer has a drain line run through it into the sink! Guess where that water goes without that drain line?

Next time I'm there, today it was a bit dark and a bit wet for me to have my phone out

You are smart, you make things go!
I love the Pakleds because they're just smart enough to know how to use their stupidity to trick people and it always works.

Edit: holy shit that worked.
the disposal is now stronger than it was before
