yet somehow helping everyone has always been a bad thing to do

Except when you’re at church pretending to listen to what the preacher is saying about the gospels

Excuse you - they’re Coach vacations thankyouverymuch.

RV’s are for plebs.

This has always been my go to unfounded theory.

Yeah, the handful of times I’ve ordered produce or fruit for delivery, it was obvious that they unloaded the damaged/bruised/over-ripe stuff on the online orders.

I tried this once, but stupid me didn’t think it through all the way. My steamer basket is for the microwave… do not steam eggs in a microwave steamer.

6 minutes in a pressure cooker and the eggs will be perfectly cooked and peel like a banana.

I can honestly take this, though I do want more Star Trek content. I will continue to watch the show, but it’s really asking for a lot of suspended belief in each episode. A random sampling of my problems with the show:

1. You take fresh, untrained to partially trained students, put them in a mobile school, and then intentionally fly that ship full of children into known dangerous areas of space?

2. We’ve had decades of the best in Starfleet fully commissioned officers solving complex problems, and the academy is full of professors and other well educated professionals, yet with every weird anomaly, the approach is, “fuck it let’s let the kids handle this one”

3. Terse negotiations with a previous and potential new member of the federation are done as a spectacle at the academy in front of the students and almost no other high level members of Starfleet, instead of literally anywhere else?

There are many more, but at some point I had to just turn my brain off to continue watching. I’m not used to having to do that so much with Star Trek.

True but that’s because Fetterman was the Democratic candidate. By primrying him, you (hopefully) get a better Democratic option to go up against whatever filth the Republicans put forward.

This is why my days are mostly breaks anymore. You should see how productive I am!

Yeah, several years back I had a pair of the Sony earbuds that I bought refurbished off of eBay. A firmware update borked the battery in one of the buds and Sony was replacing them free of charge, but since mine weren’t bought new and weren’t from an actual store, they told me to screw off, so I did and haven’t been back. Before Sony ruined them they were really nice buds, but I’m not trusting them with my money anymore since they have proven a willingness to unilaterally decommission their devices.

What’s at stake? Let me guess… two $10 vouchers for use in concession stand items at a future concert? Vouchers can’t be transferred, combined, and must be used at separate concerts? Is that what’s at stake?

I read that thinking, "what do you mean ‘instead’? This is a direct consequence…

This is all quite interesting, but did the farmer really offer the traveler his lusty hens?

The guy who played Superman in the 90s or whenever. The guy who played Hercules. The woman that got fired from the Mandalorian. I’m sure there are a handful more.

But see, if I order 10,000 I get the bulk price of $5 each. If I only order 500 then they will cost the seller $40 each. Of course this effect can be minimized with annual volume commitments where a miss means that you simply pay your supplier the difference.

The reality is that the normal situation will not be a difference as stark as this example, but some form of it exists.

Ah, that one makes sense.

How was Nike involved? They didn’t exist until ~ the 70s I thought.

Being the “low cost Mac” is very different from being the cheapest option.

Though I’ll say that my one Mac purchase in the early 00’s was a few years after they switched to OSX and I bought a Macbook Pro for probably 60%+ more than the equivalent PC but it lasted me over 2X as long as any PC ever had prior. Plus the free OS upgrades that were unheard of on Windows machines at the time.

And the whole letting cats roam freely outdoors bit. But other than that yeah, nice story.
