Eh, I do remember them being very worthwhile back in ye olden days. I remember my parents getting an amazing looking plasma TV back in maybe 2009-2010 era for south of $150 on a black friday deal, back when flat screens were still exorbitantly expensive in most cases. Same for computers and a lot of toys too.
Now it’s all like "we just raised our prices last week, now there’s 5% off WOWWEEE!

Not like black Friday sales have been worth shit since COVID anyway.

I was curious about this so I did a little historical lookup.
I can only ever find the modern “smooth 3d” Windows icon in any Windows XP image, screenshot, release event image, anything. XP has only ever used the modern 3d flag. Image
The last time Microsoft seemed to have used the square flag with tail Windows image was in Windows 2000 or ME, pre-XP launch. Image
I did find images of ME also using the 3d flag, but I can’t confirm they’re actually of original OE Microsoft branding. MS did still sell retail copies of 2000 and ME alongside XP for a short while, so it’s possible they updated the older OS branding (not that anyone wanted 2000 or ME at that point). But why would they backtrack XP’s branding??
I really have no clue where this XP image with the square flag is from, it’s either art someone created to backdate its design aesthetic or its an AI hallucination.

I do love the induction stove at my gf’s house, but the issue with induction is you basically have to throw out 75% of your cookware and go get the special heavy-bottomed pans and pots for the heating to be effective and even. Most everything I have that’s decades old and salvaged from yard sales and the like does NOT work on induction like, at all.

Most consumer single use batteries like that are alkaline chemistry these days, not acidic. You can still find the old carbon-zinc ones in really really cheap batteries but it’s not as common.
They’re super tasty either way

AI garbage slop. The castle nut is missing threads and the serrated flange has the serrations on the wrong side and the cage nut sheet metal is bent randomly. Shame on OP.

- Comment on Dishwasher safe 4 weeks ago:
A typical dishwasher only reaches about 150-160f (70ish C) inside, about the temperature of a hot fresh soup or coffee. If it’s not safe to survive that heat I sure don’t want my hot foods touching it either.

I sometimes wonder if the excessive use of cutesy babytalk langauge can negatively affect the development of children. They learn exclusively through mimicry of their parents and those around them, if a lot of what they hear is “look at my widdle babykins” then that’s how they’ll start their speech development…

Theyre smart to that already, most of them have speakers hidden inside the housing that you can’t access anymore. At this stage just boycott those stations, leave a 2 star review on Google and deal with paying an extra 15c a gallon a couple blocks away.

The admitted benefit of the digital ones are accuracy. Mechanical pop out gauges, or even dial gauge styles, they have limited accuracy at pressure below their spec and obviously don;t work at all or will be damaged by pressure above their spec.
E.g, for the pop out gauges, you’ll usually see them sold in ranges of 5-30psi, 20-60psi, and 30-120 psi. 5-30 is good for lawn equipment, 20-60 for cars and light truck, 30-120 for heavy truck. A digital gauge covers all of them at once rather than needing 3 separate gauges banging around.
and for big lawn or flotation tires that need like 3psi, forget it, you need digital, most mechanical gauges never even go that low… - Comment on Meet congressman Tom Kean Jr. He was absent from Congress from March 5 to June 30, 2026, missing more than 100 votes.

Other way around. Modern capitalism dictates that as sales drop, prices must rise so profits can remain the same or continue increasing.
