  • Borg cube vs travel pod

    Jump

  • Lol, as if the Borg could assimilate Shatner's 1979 silky greasy coked up and permed sex appeal.

    The Borg Queen would suddenly find herself in fuzzy focus, drapped in gausey polyester, smooching on Kirk.

    Meanwhile, Scotty's hotwired that shit, has knocked out the drones, and is flying it around the sun at warp 9 to go back in time so he don't gotta deal with that mess.

  • Can anyone recommend a very simple and hopefully inexpensive 'system' by which a bedridden older person might be able to access music or videos?

    Jump

  • Off hand, I would say an iPad or tablet, maybe with the accessibility settings to max. Load books all you can, a few movies. If you did a large format eink tablet, movies are out, but audio and books are still in play, even apps for soduku or crosswords.

  • Gotta catch ’em all: Man under Customs probe for not declaring over $30k of Pokemon cards at airport

    Jump

  • I got a couple kidneys that are gonna ding me here.

    Seriously, though, people regularly travel with luggage and watches and shoes worth more than $500. How are Pokemon cards any different?

  • Leaving food on the counter - the absolute survey

    Jump

  • There are some bacteria that when they die, release toxins that are harmful. So cooking alone isn't enough to render them harmless.

    From the Canadian food agency's website:

    Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, E. coli O157:H7, Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium difficile.

  • 'CDC is over': RFK Jr. lays off over 1,000 employees in Friday night massacre

    Jump

  • It's 30% satire. Some of the white ones were terrible Lefties that have been to a college and so they didn't re-hire ALL of them.

  • Daily Google Joke

  • Sorry, buddy, you just can't travel or buy a new device!

  • Leaving food on the counter - the absolute survey

    Jump

  • This is a thing pushed by American media. It's a Boomer-era panic over summertime picnics and somehow mayonnaise causing potato salad to immediately after 30 minutes outside a refrigerator to become fatal if consumed.

    It's also the product of misunderstandings of buying meat at a supermarket, wrongly assuming that meat that is not refrigerated for more than 15 minutes will basically kill you.

    Panicking about food poisoning is a moral panic about "bad parenting" and blaming people when it wasn't widely known what causes food poisoning: not washing your filthy hands, cross-contaimination, and poor hygiene overall.

    I've lived in West Africa and bought and cooked and safely eaten meat that had sat on a wooden plank lightly covered in flies before I got there to buy it. I survived. Mayonnaise will outlive humanity before it molds or goes bad at room temp.

  • i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too

  • I thought there was some other name for a clover-looking plant that started with an S.

  • VPN Comparison 2.0

    Jump

  • Sure, but this is a heat map. It's only relative, not objective. If most of these were 3 months old, and one was only 2 months old, the 3 months would all be in the green.

  • i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too

    Jump

  • Ahhh, OK, that's my bad. I was thinking of some other name for clover. I've cooked with sorrel before, it's nice. Same for clovers, nice lemony flavor.

    Thanks for the correction.

  • I totally read this as it scrolled and thought you wrote "Brianna Ramosius"

  • Some are too young to understand

  • Hur dur Boomer humor.

    Needs 30% more hating their wife for no reason at all.

  • VPN Comparison 2.0

    Jump

  • The age of a VPN isn’t a good indicator of how secure it is.

    So then delete the row. OP, you control the spreadsheet, right?

    Also, heat map conditional formatting favoring free is a bad metric. Free VPNs steal data, and Tor isn't a VPN, so this skews all the other paid options to seem negative.

  • A lot of Lebanese shops sell sorrel. Sorrel is just clovers. 50% of people setting this meme are 100 meters or less from sorrel right now.

  • THE CRAZY PILLS

    Jump

  • I genuinely wonder, do they just make up this obviously false BS to tell him to protect themselves? Or are they all on the same page with the BS to gaslight MAGA people?

    In 30 years this will be a very well-studied period of human history and behavior.

  • "Just some old junk I found in the attic, toss it in the trash compactor"

    Jump

  • This is actually a very common outcome with gun buybacks. I've seen tale of cops running buybacks and picking through the antiques that show up, taking home the valuable ones.

  • Senators Warn Trump Administration Is Developing Secret Watchlist of Americans

    Jump

  • It's not secret that it's happening. Palintir is well known to have the contract to built the list. The secret is who's been flagged as scheduled for termination or deportation out whatever.
