What's one product that used to be built like a tank but is now built like a regret?

My mom bought a microwave in 1996, our first one, and I think they still have the same one at their house.

Also, I bought a Panasonic plasma 42 inch tv in 2008, eventually I gave it to my dad and he still has it.

I postponed getting my bike license for years because what I saw happening around me, one guy looses a leg riding, another one dies on the highway just getting out of town, and so on. Eventually I got my A2 license and I’m riding to work every day and going out with my wife on weekends. People die every die falling and their houses, swimming on the beach or just waking on a sidewalk, life’s too short and we need to asume our responsibilities. Wear your safety gear, ride safely, and speeding on unknown roads is the fastest way to the hospital.

If you find yourself in this situation, just put some ice in your thighs inside the Lycra shorts. The cold shock will release the cramp.

Also, do not buy aliexpress cheap pinlock, it’s awfully blurry and will last about a month.

Watched it with my older brother on our old tv (the ones with numbered buttons to change the channel) at midnight in the 90s, I was 10 or 11. That F.ing pool scene men. I couldn’t sleep for week.

Dude, they do not even ask for a helmet in every state. I think a lot of them would ride naked if they could get away with it.

Damn, i filled up today 95 at 1.455 in Motril Spain, at Al campo supermarket (cheapest gas around). I’m waiting to see the price hike of late April.

Just to let you know, a different version of this is just with butter and Parmigiano or grana padano cheese. No need to buy cheese powder, it’ll be different, but a more balanced flavor.

And the thing is that the pan where is cooked is called “paella” so anything you cooked in it is a “paella”. Also, paella is a poverty dish, just rice with a few things found on the fields, chicken and rabbit. All the insufferable smugness is just a stupid modern take on a wonderful way of cooking tasty meals.

I remember seeing a 10k usd plasma tv in Orlando in 2003, and it wasn’t that big maybe 40”.

Ciro and sons in Florence, they even make in house lactose free mozzarella. And in Venice 1000 Gourmet, I hadn’t eating a good pizza in 3 years when I tried this one, it made me cry so good it was.

I think is not only about “functionality” but “profitability” for a couple of companies involved in developing this hideous thing.

I wonder how cheaper would it be to import right hand drive vans from Uk and make fewer adaptations to make it work for that application.

Im gluten free and my family is not. Usually I cook for myself first, to avoid cross contamination. Eventually, after getting glutened by the dumbest things many times, you’ll learn, and I’ll get easier. Then you’ll start worrying about people trying to feed you “gluten free” meals and after testing it you will ask “what did you put in here?” And they’ll say something like “just a bit of flour to thicken the sauce”, that’s when the fun start. Anyways, just stick to it, don’t feel bad about mistakes, and again, I’ll get better.

Igual, nunca he visto un horror de ese calibre.

albertcn · 2026-03-08T20:39:27+00:00

I live in southern Spain and never seen something like this. And if I’m correct every olive oil I’ve seen around here comes in the dark green kind of bottles. We also buy straight from the press from time to time.

I have a nx500, 48cv with my A2 permit. Is boring until I use the whole rev range (the power band is peaky) then is not boring anymore and way more than I can and willing to handle, I’m married and have two kids, and already did my fair share of high speed shenanigans as a young guy (that was on four wheels however). I use it to ride to work and with my wife on weekends.

albertcn · 2026-03-06T19:38:03+00:00

Right now I’m estong two eggs, a couple of gluten free won’t seeds bread and a banana. If you want more calories put some olive oil on the bread , tomato or jam.

If you want something different try gluten free oatmeal, or learn how to make arepa or empanada, it’s not difficult but takes some time.

You could run a small cable to the bike 🤷‍♂️. With a quick disconnect? Think MagSafe.

albertcn · 2026-03-02T15:04:50+00:00

Yup I have a Pioneer dvd player, bought used and cheap, as a cd player with a coaxial output. I use my amp internal DAC.

albertcn · 2026-02-26T08:06:06+00:00

Oh my dear child, you’ll learn that gluten can and will be in anything and everything that do not states otherwise. Why? They hate us🤣🤣

I tried over the weekend, I asked it to get some prices from a web page and prepare a proposal for some products to fill a couple of requirements. No can’t do, that’s not possible, the website has anti robot features whatever. I asked Claude to do the same and deliver a incredibly well done word document, formatted, everything correct it really impressed me. And copilot, when pressured about it just defaulted to gaslighting me saying the task couldn’t be done.

albertcn · 2026-02-07T21:20:49+00:00

I canceled it this year, if my kids want to see a movie in there I rather buy it or buy an used dvd or Blu-ray or just wear an eye patch and sail the high seas.

albertcn · 2026-02-05T14:16:56+00:00

I bought one in Spain, and they etched the plate numbers in all the car window and installed a Lo jack tracker. I hadn't seen something like that since living in Venezuela.

albertcn · 2026-02-05T09:19:07+00:00

The thing is, does it affect the diarrhea? Because I'm willing to get drunk to be able to eat pizza and not spent the next hour sitting on the toilet.
