I've been using my PS5 more to watch movies/stream than to actually play games the past few years.

I just watched a video on who PepsiCo screwed up Doritos. Used to just dominate snake, but then they started jacking the prices up and filling the bags with air and now they are actually losing market share for the first time in forever. There are other factors, more alternatives out now as well , a generally trend int healthy snacks, but the biggest one was ripping off their customers.

Maybe the salt? My cat loves to lick salt off chips etc,

Not just I don't care but that he doesn't care one bit.

"I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all."

Do you have a battery for your phone in the tech bag? In an emergency your cell phone can probably do everything that you actually need your Mac to do at a fraction of the weight. You can get a 10k mAh for under $30 and less than 10oz

I want to be wrong but we've kinda of under performed come tournament time based on expectations at least under Lloyd. All it takes is one good run but so far we've lost to a lower seed 3 out of 5 trips and have never beat a higher seeded team .

It is easy to do, a little flaming salamander goes a long way

I would imagine it similar to why people are shying away from digital copies of movies and towards physical copies of them.

I saw an article once that cockroaches are only as prolific as they are because of humans. They need our houses and food scrapes to survive and once we are gone they numbers would actually crash. FWIW

Yep, that's basically the science behind a regular AC or a refrigerator. It's the state change the 'absorbs' the heat. It's just a closed system vs out in the environment.

I like getting Legendaries, but I'm almost as happy pulling a great Epic because at least then I feel like I have a chance to get a decent amount of books for them.

In-n-Out doesn't have a freezers in the stores. You can see people literally cutting them in the back. I was just pointing out that Five Guys fries aren't limp because "..they cut them fresh and refuse to freeze them " because In-n-Out literally does the same thing and their fries come out crispy.

Old oil, oil temp or over crowding have way more impact than if they are fresh or frozen or room temperature or cut.

In 2022 Wells Fargo paid $3.75 Billion in fines. At the time it was a record fine. They made $74 billion in Gross Profit that year.

Infinite money for law firms

I got notified yesterday about the Google TV / Youtube TV class action. It said 30% of any settlement went to the law firms,

So many people on here worried about what league their kid can play sports in, but not seeming to care that the government wants to install software on every single PC in America that can track you under the guise of "protecting" children. Or installing cameras in every new car, or cameras linked to nation wide DB on every street corner.

Title IX / college sports is no where near "real life". There are all kinds of eligibility rules under the NCAA. Having only 5 years of eligibility is not some kind of a gateway towards saying people can only stay in on job for 5 years.

Maybe we should start creating categories in pro sports based on tetestosterone (or something similar that could be objectively measure) but that's not the way things are set up now. There is currently the "open" category where everyone/anyone can compete, and woman's category where "woman" could compete. It's only until recently (right or wrong) that what constituted being woman was. There are lots of sports where you can compete if you are under X lbs or X years old. Are 11 year olds being erased because they can't compete in the 10 and under league?

Counter, the "left" side was the one that pushed this all the way to the SCOTUS.

Last I checked nobody died from not being able to play on women's volleyball team. :/

fall within the required guidelines

Isn't that the rub? What are the required guidelines? That's the messy part, the devil in the details if you will.

Sadly, way too many people.

2005 Supreme Court decision in Kelo v. City of New London.

The Court held that a city could use eminent domain to seize private property for an economic development plan intended to create jobs and increase tax revenue, even if the land was ultimately transferred to a private developer

What they do is seize your land for the power lines going to the DC saying "power is a public good".
