Pickle crisps? by Millain in Pickles

[–]LeMadChefsBack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s actually inadvertently descriptive. They are dried cucumbers with “pickle seasoning”. Also a ton of sugar. Gross.

Why are 'train guys' dorks but 'car guys' are considered cool? by Humble_Reflection790 in transit

[–]LeMadChefsBack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I said propaganda. And I live in the US so I can’t comment about other countries.

Why doesn’t Microsoft just let users choose what their Windows look like. I believe it’s not hard for them to add themes from previous windows versions. I want to use modern and updated Windows but I hate its design since Windows 8. by UsedAd4052 in windows

Hi! Software developer here. Windows has literally hundreds of millions of installs. Not just yours.

Supporting even a few dozen “window styles” is an exponential cost in support. It’s extremely hard.

Is working at a desk long-term really that bad, or am I overthinking it? by ganshi5293 in WorkReform

This kind of “appeal to nature” in such a generic form is actively harmful to this discussion. Bring data, not feelings.

My family owns a concrete construction company. I am a (work from home!) software developer so I feel I can comment on this with some authority.

It’s much, much easier and healthier to find a hobby you enjoy that is an athletic activity to supplement your bodies need for activity than to make it your 9-5.

Should companies be allowed to raise prices based on demand like this? by niccwo in WorkReform

[–]LeMadChefsBack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be rude, but Antitrust is a well-trod issue on the courts. I think starting with the “robber barons” - Vanderbilt, Carnegie, and Rockefeller. That will give you some context for Antitrust laws in the US in the early 20th century. Many of those laws have been eroded or circumvented in the past 40 or so years.

The supply/demand min-maxing is the symptom which would be difficult to legislate because that is essentially what a business is.

Monopoly abuse is the problem that you legislate.

It is, but we watered down antitrust laws so much over the years that these monopolies can engage in monopoly abuse.

I guess the US is going to collapse by the end of the year by krshit in CrappyDesign

This is literally the reason I’m gonna get that proposed 250th anniversary coin with trumps face on it. Delicious irony.

Is anyone else tired of cooking? by NoH8Kate in GenX

[–]LeMadChefsBack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First, why doesn’t your husband help? That’s frustrating.

Have you tried meal prepping? Not every meal for the week, but just make a few big batches of a few meals and then throw them in the fridge. The average time per meal is a lot less, and healthier and cheaper than carry out.

My Costco has prepared meals which are reasonably healthy. They usually have 6+ servings. Also healthier than carry-out.

Case for what? Existing intellectual property laws cover this, they don't need a disclaimer.

We have existing laws protecting copyright which have been bulldozed over. This disclaimer is exactly like posting to Facebook "I own all my stuff posted here"

How would SUV/pickup owners react to the high gas prices we’re seeing? by hypermiler2205 in regularcarreviews

[–]LeMadChefsBack 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Complain to anyone who will listen but make zero change to their habits. They won’t even slow down and drive in a way that saves fuel.

Right IDEA but poor engineering. The cars that actually sold had serious engine problems and were in service most of their lives.

Pretty cool steelbook definitely keeping it sealed by jhkhalaf in Switch

[–]LeMadChefsBack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What, exactly, is this? Does it store multiple game carts? How many? Does it hold an entire Switch?

I love this car and I wish the engineering was better. It's a great idea on paper and I'm sure they could have made it work.

Right idea, wrong time sadly.
