less easy to mindlessly individually open 10 snack bags of chips.
but soooo fucking easy to go through a half-bag’s worth of mini candybars and other assorted goodies from a halloween stash without even realizing.
- Comment on Hate when this happens 2 days ago:
me. at aldi. and it’s an achievement i have yet to claim, not that i’ve really tried that hard not to take home a bounty from ‘snack food warehouse’
- Comment on GF loves Disney. Favorite character is Chip from Chip and Dale. Was thrilled to get this picture with him. 2 days ago:

no, wait. sorry. that was chippendales.

firefox is a spring garden filled with wildflowers and honeybees going about their business compared to the hellscape that is windows group policies.
- Comment on Recession indicator, what do you call this dish? 3 days ago:
these were great, when the pound of ground beef or chuck was less than a buck. but at 6+ bucks? i’d be making burgers, or at least a meatloaf, not this. we don’t waste our venison on this stuff, either.
but this box in particular is called ‘desperation’, on the part of general mills to try halt what must be a massive sales slump due to the fucked-up beef markets.
- Comment on Recession indicator, what do you call this dish? 3 days ago:
who knew those boxes were actually a single serving?

ahk macro script that replaces every keypress of any key.
- Comment on As per my last email 3 days ago:
i have a crappy dell wireless keyboard here that doesn’t have a NUMLOCK. in some linux distributions or environments it defaults OFF, and i have to rig the DE or numlockx to enable it at login. i only keep it around because it’s a kb+mouse set that shares one dongle… it’s handy to move from pc to pc when i need to.
- Comment on What even is my eXpEriEnCe here? 4 days ago:
i get shit like that frequently because scripts don’t run here unless whitelisted. usually either the content requires scripts to show itself, or blocked ads are blocking the rest of the page load, or both.
it’s at this point where i scoop-up the headline and drag it over to the ddg search box in the browser toolbar and find a different source. there almost always is.
- Comment on Broomsticks? What is this? The Dark Ages? 4 days ago:
seems like the logical progression. 1990s sabrina ‘flew’ an upright vac.

image the reaction if a $400us collector bundle was the only way to get a physical disc.

“…my farts sometimes ooze a little bit, so apologies in advance.”
- Comment on That’s just unrealistic… too few poop breaks. 1 week ago:
not if you’re goin’ that frequently.
- Comment on Citizens United was never about helping people 2 weeks ago:
it just needs at least some turnover at scotus and a new case, so it can get a new ruling that really narrows the previous one or shreds it completely.
- Comment on How come we still haven't engineered a solution to this?? 2 weeks ago:
the walmart store brand sliced bread has been made so cheap now, there’s no ‘substance’. it can’t stand up in a toaster without literally “wilting”. so it will toast crooked and then not pop up because it gets stuck. i have an old toaster, probably from the 1980s. it has no safety cut-off on it… it will not shut off the heating elements when it gets stuck and can’t “pop up”. the whole thing is a fire hazard.
- Comment on The book I borrowed and was reading became unavailable in the US *while I was reading it* 2 weeks ago:
well, then it would be your borrowing time ran out, perhaps, and the app just said ‘screw you’ instead of offering a check-out renewal
- Comment on It was cold this morning. You all know what this means. 2 weeks ago:
shit. i was just thinking “hmm. it actually feels like autumn outside today”. sorry 'bout that. won’t happen again. but i fear it may be too late to contain the beast.
- Comment on Time keeps marching forward 2 weeks ago:
awhile back i saw a toyota prius hybrid with ‘collector’ plates that are used by classic and antique car owners (and cheapskates that want the cheaper plates in exchange for some use limits).

they also had to go back and reshoot some, as filming in new york had concluded months earlier.
- Comment on Anon remembers the $49 GameCube 3 weeks ago:
most things have those metal things hiding in packaging or under stickers now.
- Comment on Streaming Is Raising Prices Faster Than Cable Ever Did 3 weeks ago:
which is why you’re seeing more shows releasing as weekly drips instead of season drops.
but it’s still the way to go. one at a time, one month at a time, only when you need or want ‘new’ stuff. the drips you skip over because the whole season hasn’t been posted means you’ve got more time to see if stuff gets renewed, or at least logically-concluded, before investing your own time in watching.
- Comment on When the Democrats regain power, their centrist leadership will claim, "We can't do anything because...". Don't be fooled. We need to get the corporate centrists out and real progressives in! 3 weeks ago:
well, the thing is. they actually won’t have much power at all. sure, they’ll be able ton control the flow of legislation through congress. but that’s it. dipshit will still veto anything his handlers don’t like, and democrats won’t have the numbers in either chamber to override.
if you want to see democrats actually accomplish something worthwhile that benefits people and the planet, give them a super majority in both chambers of congress and control of ~ 40 state legislatures.

- Comment on Walmart Shopping Carts Left Feet Away from the Cart Corral. 3 weeks ago:
in some neighborhoods, you could literally have a cart corral next to every single parking space and somehow these lazy morons will still leave their cart in a parking space or driving lane.
- Comment on Hey Vern, it's new! 3 weeks ago:
those were the days, back when netflix gave a month free to new accounts. even when you used a prepaid card, they tacked on the extra month.

E.T. the dipshit is et, and because the fucking game is bugged, we can’t get rid of him.
