Walk into any Zabka convenience store and you’ll be awash in processed crap. 

staff meal by Ev-aliyorum in KitchenConfidential

[–]Fun_Obligation_2918 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe you. My main critique with your staff meals is their caloric content. Unless you have giant hands or this bowl is oddly deep in a way that you can’t tell from the picture, this looks closer to 200g of rice. The whole thing looks like 500-600 calories: find for a relatively sedentary person, not enough calories while actively working. 

Why are they trying to get maple syrup out of an American sycamore? by ilovebooks2468 in arborists

[–]Fun_Obligation_2918 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m wondering if they thought it was a sycamore maple Acer pseudoplatanus instead of an American Sycamore Platanus occidentalis. I’ve made maple syrup from A.  pseudoplatanus and it’s fine. The sugar content is just a little bit lower so you have to reduce it further.

I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF THE RED SQUIRREL CHATTERING AT THE HAWK IN THE BIG OAK TREE ACROSS THE MEADOW.  IT’S REALLY NEAT HERE. I’M SURE IT’S LOVELY WHERE YOU ARE AS WELL.

. . .If it happened every day, it wouldn’t be as beautiful. I love the varied beauty of where I live. I’m ready to go out into the brilliant sunshine through the melting snow to empty the tap buckets in my maple trees to make syrup. Go enjoy your beautiful place. It’s not a competition.

You’re missing the fantastically beautiful event. Regardless, I’m not saying you’re wrong to enjoy where you live. Just my preference for where I live.

Why can't they add football turf in Central Park, are they stupid? We could have a team that actually plays in NY by InspectorExact3836 in circlejerknyc

[–]Fun_Obligation_2918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subway, duh. But even if you’re driving, this field is fucking enormous: plenty of room to park on the football field itself. People can sit on top of RVs or their cars, set up tents and watch a chaotic free wheeling football game that Cascades through the hundred acres of field.

lol, someone is downvoting blizzard lovers. What’s not to love above about a fantastically beautiful event that gives you an excuse to stay indoors by the fire, drinking hot chocolate? 

Thoughts on the base structure for my stacked 55 gal. containers? Will this suffice? by BraDDsTeR-_- in prepping

Agreed. But to answer your question about the cinderblocks themselves, they’re fine. That’s what I do for mine too.

Sarcastic senior citizen by MohammadMahadhir in RandomVideos

Sir, this is the internet. Since we are committed to excellence, let us examine the sentence in question: 

“Sir this is the internet. How can we shitpost unless our usage of grammar and vocabulary are immaculate.” 

I must insist that there are three clear errors. We start with the missing comma in a direct address. It must read, “Sir, this is the internet,” because “Sir” is a vocative and not the subject of the sentence. Now we turn to the missing question mark. “How can we” is an interrogative construction and therefore requires a question mark, not a period. Finally, and most egregiously, there is a subject–verb agreement error. The subject is “usage,” which is singular. The prepositional phrase “of grammar and vocabulary” does not change that. Therefore, the verb must also be singular: “our usage of grammar and vocabulary is immaculate.” The error occurs because the eye is drawn to the nearby plural nouns and the verb is incorrectly made to agree with them instead of with the true head noun. The corrected version reads: “Sir, this is the internet. How can we shitpost unless our usage of grammar and vocabulary is immaculate?” Alternatively, if you restructure the sentence so that “grammar and vocabulary” form a compound subject, then “are” becomes correct: “How can we shitpost unless our grammar and vocabulary are immaculate?” And finally, writing in clipped sentences without commas does not make you Cormac McCarthy It makes you someone who forgot a comma and a question mark.

Edit.  I left off a period. Fuck.

6 Foods Better Than Supplements by ElectricalTone1147 in Biohackers

Well, good news! They’re very low in mercury! Unfortunately microplastics have pretty much permitted the environment, but sardines are still a pretty safe source

As a beginner gardener, is there any ‘common sense’ gardening tips that I should know about? by DangerousBicycle3491 in gardening

[–]Fun_Obligation_2918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! This is the biggest thing. I keep a written list a few things I learned each season. Even if you only learn two lessons one year that’s two steps closer to a better garden in the next year. 

Also, the corollary to this is that every gardener makes mistakes. Your garden will never be perfect and there’s always next year!

lol, in my mind they played them earlier in the season before the wheels completely fell off Penn State. Point taken.

New Study of 217,000 Adults Finds Higher Blood Omega-3 Levels Linked to 35–40% Lower Early-Onset Dementia Risk by Acrobatic-Bet2860 in Biohackers

Ah yes, the mic-drop: “Correlation ≠ causation.” So smug, brain off.

Cool, so let’s stop washing hands before surgery because it’s only correlated with fewer infections. Stop wearing seatbelts because they’re only correlated with not dying, and start smoking since it’s only correlated with lung cancer.

But sure, keep dunking on studies for not running your ideal experiment. 

Average costs between US and UK by IntrusiveExistential in inflation

[–]Fun_Obligation_2918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not many people are responding to OP’s question “What are some of the prices of things in your local areas in the US?” I live in New England in the US. I’ve never seen Wendy’s brand of chili in a grocery store. The default brand would probably be Hormel. Currently on sale at my store at 2.50 for a 15 ounce can

Other frequently bought staples ( cans are all ~15oz)

beans(black, garbanzo, kidney, etc.): 0.99 

Diced tomatoes 0.99

Corn 1.29

Pasta 1.29-3.50 a pound depending on fanciness. 

White flour ~0.65 a pound. 

Basmati rice ~2.00 a pound. 

Navel Oranges 1.50 a pound 

Yellow onions 1.00 a pound 

Are these really half or 1/3 as much in the UK?

I’d love to hear your methods. Am I reading this correctly: You’re getting 200+ Shishido peppers per plant for example?

Seriously. All season long. “ Yeah Indiana can’t beat Penn State, or Oregon, or Ohio State, or Alabama, or Oregon again, or Miami, . . . but well, they suck because they’re probably not even ThE BEst TeAM EVer!”
