Absolutely not a joke! I was eating some granola bar and noticed in the ingredient list. I thought it was some ridiculous labeling thing and had to look it up. The bit you quoted was what I figured it was, but it still sounds absurd on the surface.

When I read the link, I immediately said to myself “Well, I guess it’s just like prune juice.” But that still doesn’t mean it doesn’t seem strange on paper.

mmmm BAMP BAMP BAMP BAMP chickachickachicka BAMP BAMP BAAAAAMP

If I get more Hiro, I’m happy. I was so excited to see his 5 seconds in Bullet Train.

Question: What is your favorite Mexican restaurant around specific city?

Response: Here is a list of all the restaurants in specific city.

I don’t think some polite pushback on that is unwarranted.

Okay, I’m following. So who would you recommend as an email provider?

I mean, that’s going to be a risk you take with any hosted service. I currently self-host my contacts and calendar, but I have no interest in hosting my own email again.

What Zoho plan are you using? I can’t quite tell what the difference between the free and lite tiers is except for IMAP/POP support.

I moved over to Proton earlier this year and have had a good experience so far, but I’m not married to it or anything.

OMG (facepalm)

If STATES existed outside of the United STATES, they would BE part of the United States. It’s right there in the name. We own it.

Do your own research.

Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Family Christmas are the only things I’ll still require my kids to watch with us every year. They’re just the best.

Watch out for the icy patch!

I don’t even recall seeing it as a kid in the 80s, but I found it once I had kids and it’s absolutely our favorite to watch as a family. In fact, now that the kids are teenagers, this is probably the only one that will draw them out of their rooms to watch together still.

You can install extensions right from the Chrome Web Store with Edge. I have uBlock Origin in Edge on my work PC.

Right. I never pull the wrong one anymore because fan=fan and light=light. I know it’s a stupid minor thing, but it’s great.

One of my favorite purchases in terms of usefulness, cost, and fun (relative) was these frigging ceiling fan pull chains. I saw them on some “things you didn’t know you needed” list or something. But for less than $10, they have made my life infinitely easier and they do give me a little joy every time I pull on them.

I was going to reply to OP with “They aren’t cockroaches, they’re palmetto bugs.”

Like, I absolutely get that these things exist and will be a part of life in Florida. But when we’re staying in your fancy hotel and complain about the bugs scurrying away from the light in the bathroom, you have to do a little better than argue semantics with me.

I go about 50/50 these days.

Browsing a bookstore will always beat out a website. Favorite books or authors will always get a physical purchase. Used books are cheap and awesome. And sometimes lengthy books are easier for me to get through if they’re physical.

But I love the convenience of my Kindle. I have a ton of books and can add to that collection any time I want. I can adjust text size, font, etc. Dictionary lookup. Syncs progress with the phone app so I can literally pick up and read anywhere.

That’s like pointing at your shit and saying “everything is literally in the toilet” when someone asks what you ate. If you can’t effectively structure an argument, you won’t convince anyone of anything.

And since no one else has called it out yet, GTFO with your antisemitism.

I want to upvote, but just can’t do it.

The movie is good, though I felt it missed a lot of things I found interesting in the book. (Don’t ask what exactly, it’s been a while.)

If you were bored by the first book, don’t even bother with the others.
