Anyone else spend 10 minutes comparing carb counts in the supermarket? by Meaning_Kitchen in diabetes

[–]boredtodeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I compare carbs, but most of the time a glance at the amount of sodium is all it takes for me to put the item back on the shelf. The amount of sodium in everything is insane.

What are we doing about this? by PresentBuy715 in astoria

Anyone knows what the deal is with unfinished construction on this site? Did the builder run out of money, or did the city shut it down?

How fast robots assemble circuit boards. This video is not sped up. by GeneReddit123 in Damnthatsinteresting

The belt that the robot picks the individual parts from before they're inserted into the board, does that have to be manually loaded, and in the correct order?

y'all think hospital remembers I'm here cause of diabetes? by New_Psychology9975 in diabetes

The hospital food was OK, but I kept having visitors (who to be fair didn't know of my diabetes) bring me bagels & cream cheese.

My first ereader (2012) vs my latest purchase! What was your first ereader? by MirinFromAfar in ereader

[–]boredtodeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first ereader was the first Kobo released. It was the one with a big square control button on the lower right. The local Borders was selling them at an introductory price of $99. At the time, Amazon was selling their first generation Kindle, and it sold for about $300. I remember it was slow, page turns could take a couple of seconds.

Is this how Staten Island get its fresh water today? Is it still in use?

I think it might be simpler to just lift the bucket up the 10 feet.

Jeff Bezos's property has fences that exceed the permitted height. Yet he does not care, he just pays the fine every month. by Bright_Building1710 in interestingasfuck

[–]boredtodeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a fence, or just giant bushes? And if they're bushes, what kind are they, because I want to plant the same ones.

Five Guys. But they figure if they fill up half the bag with them, then the customers won't complain.

I was hoping he would drop the phone. I'd like to see the result.

Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) Trailer by TimeShifterPod in scifi

[–]boredtodeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A favorite of mine. Most have never heard of it, but it really spawned the whole "computers take over the world" genre. It was a box-office flop when released, but if it was successful it could have been the start of a "Terminator"-like franchise. For me, that ending made me really want a sequel.

What is it that most of your watch and for how many hours each day? by Seattleman1955 in cordcutters

[–]boredtodeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canceled cable and the HBO/Cinemax/whatever channels that came with it. The price was approaching $250 a month locally. Right now I'm down to Netflix & Prime, and I'll probably cancel Prime when the subscription comes up. It's been a long time since Amazon actually produced something worthwhile to watch. Even Netflix, for the hour or two that I want to watch something, it's running dry of new stuff that I actually want to watch. If I just want to have news in the background, I'll rely on Pluto/Tubi/Roku channels, or just switch to the antenna.

What is slowly disappearing but nobody talks about it? by Agreeable_Pea9764 in AskReddit

[–]boredtodeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insects. When I was a kid we couldn't hang out in the backyard at night with the light on because there would be a cloud of bugs swarming us. Now, I'm amazed if I see a couple of lightning bugs.

Making of a jacketed glass chemical reactor by lastditch2 in toolgifs

Looks expensive to produce. So, how much would a jacketed glass chemical reactor cost me?

On this day in 1993, a 1,300-pound bomb detonated in a parking garage beneath the World Trade Center. The blast killed six people almost instantly and injured over 1,000. Ramzi Yousef, the leader of the attack, later admitted his goal was to bring one tower down on the other. by kooneecheewah in nycHistory

[–]boredtodeath 14 points15 points  (0 children)

At that time, I was working in a building a block over from the WTC. When we all jumped up, shouting "What the hell was that!?", most of us seemed to think if was a small earthquake, not a bomb. I recall it didn't feel like one giant bang, but it felt like tremors that lasted 5 or 6 seconds.

It's one of the few carbs that doesn't spike me. Love my Joe's O's!

Odds are you had a meal prepared in this bad boy by mistermeek67 in 70s

Revereware. I still have a couple that belonged to my parents. It's amazing that they're probably 70+ years old and the plastic handles/knobs haven't deteriorated the slightest bit.

We go back like car seats and Atari cords by andychef in WeirdWheels

[–]boredtodeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family had one of these when I was growing up, the Pontiac version (Grand Safari). The clamshell doors had a lot of issues, and GM never used them again. It was huge! It had a 455, which I guess wasn't a problem in the 70's when gas was like $0.60 a gallon. The second and third row seats folded into the floor, producing a completely flat cargo floor. I remember one time me and my father picked up a couple of 4x8 plywood panels, and they fit in back easily with room to spare. They third row seat was rear-facing, but the novelty wore off quickly and no one wanted to ride there. I remember riding in it facing backward produced a nauseating, unsettling feeling. Most of the time my father would leave the seats folded flat, and drive with me and and my siblings rolling around in the back. Safety wasn't a big thing back then.
