  • Van driver shows up.

    "Hey do you guys have a dock or a ramp?"

    The pallet jack is offered as a sacrificial lamb.

    The van driver curses and groans and sadly takes the offered pallet jack.

  • It was for cider. They drank a staggering amount of beer, cider and rum on a daily basis in the early 1800's. Cider consumption per capita in the was around 15 gallons/year. They drank even more beer and rum. They were also drinking around 5 gallons/year of distilled spirits.

    Most people were what we would classify as functional alcoholics today.

  • Ukraine Reveals Riki Interceptor Drone as New Short-Range Defense Layer at UMEX 2026

  • Thats not just a drone killer, it's a helicopter killer.

  • Why??? 🍅

  • Its only sort-of true.

    The tomato imported to Europe was more like the cherry/mini pear tomato and yellow in color. Cultivars like we know today we're mostly developed in the 18th and 19th centuries in different European regions.

    Why do I say it's mostly true.

    Modern breeders have extensively introgressed traits from wild types from Central and South America. Almost all modern cultivars contain DNA from multiple different locations. So it's not really fair to say it's all from Europe.

  • Many parents cab probably relate

  • Its a trade show classic. Have a nice looking bowl full of candy to draw people in. More thought needs to be placed into the contents of the candy bowl than the layout of the booth.

    What's in that bowl determines the amount of traffic that stops. Matching the candy to the demographic of the audience is a critical research before the trade show.

  • Brand new bag

    Jump

  • When I was on the travel circuit I always did a carry-on and a backpack. The backpack was usually full of job related equipment so there wasn't much room for clothing etc. The carry-on was enough for trips of up to 2 weeks.

    As I was in agricultural fields and hot temps everyday in all sorts of countries, full changes of clothing was required plus at least one laundry stop before I came home(phytosanitary rules and all). My carry-on often weighed in at 40lbs or more on those trips.

  • Pesticides may drastically shorten fish lifespans, study finds

  • Americans are paying more than ever for cars. Cheap models are disappearing

    Jump

  • Trend I am seeing now as I look for a car to purchase this month. I have been watching prices closely for over a year.

    The prices in the used car market is declining rapidly. It used to be that a new car lost around 10-15% of it's value in the first 30K . Today I am seeing cars that drop 30-40% in 30k miles.

    They next 60K miles they only lose another 10-15%.

    The used car market shows what the average consumer can actually afford. The new car price is to take advantage of the top 10% and the financially ignorant.

  • Canada's deal with China signals it is serious about shift from US

    Jump

  • Trade takes time and effort to develop. There is infrastructure to build, relationships to form, cultural conflicts to overcome, and systems to develop and optimize.

    Trump has tossed his big old poopy diaper into the middle of a century of effort. Its not a system that will collapse overnight, the 5-10 year plan of all trading partners today is "How to fuck over the U.S. without fucking over ourselves".

    The U.S. is heading towards decades of economic depression and stagnation.

  • How much is your monthly average mobile/phone data usage?

    Jump

  • I have a 15GB plan shared among 5 phones for 4 people. We usually use around 8-10GB. It brings my total bill for all 5 phones to $150/month.

    I pay $80/month for high speed cable Internet for the house and I regularly update the wifi router. At work/school the wife and kids have wifi.

    I even pay $225 per year for unlimited Wi-Fi in my work truck.

  • The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.22 to 15.01.26

    Jump

  • The 8 MLRS, 84 artillery systems and 2 AA systems is a massive blow.

    Looks like Ukraine punched a hole in the AA defense and wrecked havoc on them.

  • Anyone else does this?

    Jump

  • ..... Takes cover and starts reloading, only to have a medic jumping like a bunny appear from the smoke and headshot you 3 times from the hip.

    They are also totally not using cheats as they go 95:8 in the round.

    Jump

  • I'll stop by and talk to David Marriott next chance I see him. I haven't seen him in almost 30 years when he gave me a ride from the Manchester UK Airport

    He was an asshat driver through. 1 star.

  • Marriott isn't owned by the Mormon church. The owners are Mormon who follow the church leaders.

    See it's different.

  • I vote for squash/pumpkins. I have a bunch of those as well as corn.

  • Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why

    Jump

  • Honestly most of the issues with OneDrive are from one setting:

    Files On-Demand - it's turned on by default. It uploads all the files in the drive to the cloud and then deletes them from the local computer. Its absolutely, fucking stupid and should be banned.

  • TIL that incest is legal in many countries. For example: Brazil, Russia, South Korea, Japan, Mainland China (but incest is illegal in Hong Kong SAR).

    Jump

  • I found some interesting papers on this subject a few years back.

    Statistically humans have the highest rate of fecundity with 3rd-4th cousins. Close enough to ensure genetic compatibility, far enough away to avoid deletetious recessive alleles popping up.

    This makes sense when you think about the small groups that most humans have traditionally lived in.

  • Thought it was a pile of leaves until I got a closer look

    Jump

  • Don't stand too close to that tree. Especially not when the wind is blowing. Its a sign that the root system is mostly dead.

  • Dell says the quiet part out loud: Consumers don't actually care about AI PCs — "AI probably confuses them more than it helps them"

    Jump

  • AI hardware is a sales pitch without a clear product. Consumers have no clue why they would want to buy something with AI on it.

    For most consumers AI is a webpage that kids cheat on homework or adults attempt to cheat at work with. It makes ugly fake pictures with all sorts of weird errors. Its also the annoying as fuck answering services that you have to yell at 4 or 5 times to get to a real person.

    Why would an AI PC be desirable?
