  • If it makes you feel better to have someone more ancient around, my youngest turned ten that year.

  • Mine was a Timex Sinclair. You got to each of the Basic keywords by hitting a function key and then one of the other keys, which actually helped because you could see them all. And, since I didn't have any external storage, I got lots of practice writing them.

  • Never buying milk from Walmart again

  • You can buy it in half gallons and quarts, too, but a lot of families go through a gallon in a couple days.

  • Fawlty Towers actress Prunella Scales dies aged 93

  • She was so perfect in that role. Such a great show.

    Do you prefer natural immunity over vaccination?

    Jump

  • No, because to be naturally immune, you have to get sick. A vaccine lets me become immune without getting sick.

  • Good points

  • I get the personal reasons, and I realize not everyone has relatives they enjoy hanging out with. I'm older, my parents are dead, and it's just me and the adult kids, maybe some friends, so it's nice.

    I look at the origins of TG the same way I look at christmas (I'm an atheist): The original meaning doesn't speak to me, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy it.

  • Good points

    Jump

  • Good points, but I really do like Thanksgiving best. I have good relatives who I like hanging out with, and it's just doing that and eating food (though I usually do an awful lot of cooking).

  • Nudes are overrated

  • My wife got cataract surgery years ago and they kind of botched it, so she could see for some time. She couldn't watch videos/TV, browse the web, or anything like that, and it was pretty terrible for her. She asked me to read to her, so it became a daily thing. It was pretty neat, I have to admit, though it sure did make me hyper aware of my pronunciation and stuff.

  • Impossible Foods CEO Says The Plant-Based Sector Became Too 'Woke And Partisan'

    Jump

  • Once he said "The company is too woke," he made it political.

    But I'm not just talking about this company. I don't know if they have any history of supporting diversity, but a lot of companies did and now have walked that talk back in order maintain profits. If I take a stand for something, and then abandon that stand if it impacts me financially, then I'm literally abandoning my ideals. That's what many companies have done.

  • Yeah the sky seems like he’s as boring up his own company to make a reason

    Did you use voice to text to make that comment? I'm thinking "the sky" was supposed to be "this guy," and I'm wondering how that could happen with autocorrect.

  • Impossible Foods CEO Says The Plant-Based Sector Became Too 'Woke And Partisan'

    Jump

  • The broader point he's making - that having his brand associated with one side in a polarized political landscape is terrible for profits - is legitimate. The problem is he's saying it using the language of the other side, which isn't helping either.

    From the article:

    A wide range of American companies have sought to distance themselves from behavior that may be perceived as “woke” since US President Donald Trump began his second term, including long-established DEI initiatives, links to LGBTQ+ causes, charities, and events, and environmental pledges.

    I get why companies are doing this, but I also lose all respect for them. These things either represent important ideals or they don't. If you believe they do, and then distance yourself from them, it shows a lack of integrity and moral fortitude. If you don't believe they do, then the fact that you embraced them to begin with means you were simply pandering for profit.

  • Phoenix has a supervillain

    Jump

  • Came here to mention that. From the article you linked:

    Shomer, who called the incident a “cop overreach,” later claimed he wasn’t the only one responsible, telling reporters at the time, “I'm not the original. There’s a whole Penis Man army out there.”

  • I thought for a second that its talons went in 3/4 of a circle before I realized it's a reflection on the railing.

  • Lots of plastics can't take the high heat. They melt or warp.

  • Banana

    Jump

  • The one that no longer exists where banana flavoured candy derives its flavor from.

    That's actually a myth. See Wikipedia.

    The Gros Michel has a higher concentration of isoamyl acetate, the ester commonly used for "banana" food flavoring, than the Cavendish.[12] This higher concentration is responsible for the myth that banana flavoring was based on the Gros Michel, but artificial banana flavor was not based on any specific cultivar.

    Here's a longer piece on just that subject.

  • With Heinlein, fantasizing.

    The man who folded himself is a time travel story, too. Every time the guy travels to the same time, there's another one of him there, with bigger or smaller age differences. It gets pretty twisted in parts when he's living with his other selves.
