  • Those look some of the extremely common 4-5mm hardened steel bearings. All of them in that grenade are likely less than 1 euro. Looks like they are embedded in resin. The resin likely cost as much.

  • Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support.

  • Windows 11 UI is a downgrade from XP.

    Windows 11 is also deeply unstable. I haven't had this many program crashes, errors, and other bullshit since Vista and ME. Windows 10 had it's annoying quirks but it was at least relatively stable.

    I have saved myself the headaches with UI changes since the Win8 clusterfuck when installed a 3rd party taskbar/menu.

  • Computerized clothing.

    If you don't pay your subscription your back will display ads. Hell even if you pay your subscription it will just be less ads. The ads of course will be targeted based upon the biometric readings the smart clothing collects.

  • Its a fucking stupid and manipulative question for the employer to ask. No employer should give a fuck if somebody took a couple years to travel, take care of family, or just couldn't find a job.

    What they are really asking "Are any of the time gaps in your job history, a job that you got fired from with cause? "

    Instead of being little shits about it just ask the actual question straight out. The shock value of asking a real non-bullshit questions in an interview has paid off many times for me when hiring.

    America is drinking more coffee but less of it from Starbucks

    Jump

  • The local shops in my area are making a huge comeback. Starbucks killed most of the local little independents around 15 years ago. They did it by providing consistent quality and reasonable pay to their employees.

    Recently local chains/independents have made a resurgence. Their secret, heavily recruiting the experienced trained Starbucks employees full-time at better pay and benefits.

    Starbucks traffic is plummetting while local companies are expanding rapidly.

    This morning I went to the bank and gas station right next to a Starbucks that has been there for 20 years and a 4 month old local chain. Starbucks had one person in the drive-through and maybe half a dozen people in the store. The local chain had a 10 car line and a full parking lot.

  • Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot.

    Tomorrow,

    "Hey boss, after unloading that truck yesterday with the pallet jack, my back is really sore. If it doesn't ease up I might need to go to the doctor today."

    Next safety meeting/safety suggestion box in a week or two.

    "I really think the company should invest in electric pallet jacks. They are not that expensive and will cut down on potential lower back injuries."

  • 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??? 🍅

    Jump

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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

  • 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 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.
