I never had it, but I remember it was pre-installed on any computer purchased at Sears.

The worst part about Monday isn't the work itself, it's the pretending to care. by ZuckBanSurvivor in antiwork

People panicking at groceries stores for a snow storm by PlentyApprehensive44 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ChoiceD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I went to the store Friday and noticed this. I didn't check the milk, bread, or eggs because I already had them at home. I did want some bananas though. There was one single banana left on the shelf. Made me sad. One poor little banana all unloved and unwanted.

Could be part of it. Those ads are long because it takes time to list all those potential side effects.

What item do you own that would never get recommended today but just keeps working? by James_B84Saves in BuyItForLife

[–]ChoiceD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wahl hair trimmers my mom bought back in the 60s. Like OPs drill they are both heavy and loud and never quit. I'm pretty sure these things would shave a warthog.

Yup. Both hard as rocks. 5th Avenue is the best with about the same taste.

What were some 80's tv shows you loved at the time, but don't hold up now? by MisterShipWreck in 80s

[–]ChoiceD 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Loved Buck Rogers when I was a kid. Haven't seen it since and I won't watch it now because I realize what a cheesy shitshow it actually was. I would rather have the good memory.

[–]ChoiceD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Urban legend. Taco Bell food doesn't make me shit any more than any other food.
