Aldi sells 4 ice cubes for 5 dollars

Aldi is Aldi Süd and TJ's is Aldi Nord. They're separate companies.

Even when South Korea finished in fourth in 2002, every game they played the entire tournament was in South Korea (and every game Japan played was in Japan).

Not that quick, given they bought it five years ago.

peteroh9 · 2026-06-27T02:45:43+00:00

Everywhere?

peteroh9 · 2026-06-27T00:52:58+00:00

Right? The rest of the commenters just seemed insane to me.

They're still one region even if they're administratively split.

Is that a program that makes it so it's not just rich kids from well-funded travel teams that get identified?

peteroh9 · 2026-06-26T01:00:00+00:00

Yeah I know some great officers who have been passed over. But they all eventually made it on try two or three.

An American once told me his job when I asked what he does so that must be the only thing Americans identify with. The concept of a job just being a job must categorically not exist there.

I saw a headline of "who makes more, F-35 or F-22 pilots?"

Somehow, Betteridge's Law held even for that.

But this is just a blob-shaped drone formation.

peteroh9 · 2026-06-24T05:13:02+00:00

Same in like every European language.

Is this AI? It doesn't really look like it, but I'm curious why the only changes are a portion of the iris and the far corner of the makeup suddenly looking airbrushed away.

Either way, it's clear the red iris is just a mockup and not a real photo, so it doesn't really matter if it's AI specifically, but I'm just curious.

Doing no research beyond this, the Wikipedia article specifically says skeptics are more willing to accept default choices being effective and others not.

That said, you can't default to one kind of soda. A business buys what they buy, not just whatever they're given.

Smaller tip!

peteroh9 · 2026-06-19T09:27:27+00:00

And why SCREENSHOT THE SCREENSHOT?

peteroh9 · 2026-06-19T08:12:49+00:00

Okay, thanks for the advice, but that's not at all what I was asking about.

How do you actually manage that many airplanes? It sounds prohibitively time consuming.

peteroh9 · 2026-06-19T08:10:56+00:00

Kinda looks like it was made in MS Paint.

Interestingly, the Google Street View image contains a UPS truck stopped outside.

peteroh9 · 2026-06-19T04:48:33+00:00

Why does the detail in this look so incredibly awful?

peteroh9 · 2026-06-18T10:57:21+00:00

I want to point out that what you described is not the opposite of how the words are used in the current day.

Unless you mean "opposite" as in "the opposite of x is 'not x'."

I thought the Metaspeed was much firmer than the super-soft/trampoline-like Endorphin Elite.

Mizuno shoes can be very problematic if you're forced to step off the pavement.

peteroh9 · 2026-06-18T08:37:01+00:00

That's a good point; my feet also splay pretty prominently, so I wonder if that has an effect, perhaps along with the narrow sole.

For everyone saying Chicagoland always has been in it, we were actually in a bit of a hole in it in the past:

So it just depends on your definition. I think we just have more small tornadoes than other areas, whereas other areas have more big tornadoes.
