Incidentally a UK paper a few years back called it “the cheapest british meal” and invited someone to send in a cheaper meal and they’d get an award. They got flooded and had to pick the winner at random.

Cause bread was cheaper than say meat or cheese or what not

The first one, because people will die at a slower rate.
The second one, because the density will cause the trolley to slow down sooner, versus the first one where it will be able to pick up speed again between each person. Also, more time to save people down the rail with my handy rope cutting knife.

Discovering just how many vegetables are all brassica was a lot similar to when I found out that all real tea (black/green/white/oolong) is the exact same plant.

Oh my dude, that second ship sailed decades ago.
Time was there was really just one place (maybe two) where you could find an answer to a question. (Usenet mostly.)
Now there’s easily two dozen at least, from SO/SE, Quora, Yahoo Answers, all the way to Reddit subs…
The balkanization of information. It screwed the knowledge of the public, but it made a few people super rich. Whee

Fun fact, this is because your vitreous humour is shrinking and as it shrinks bits of it congeal into little protein strings. They’re called floaters, but some people laugh whenever I say that for some reason.

Because you can’t suggest that the (liberal/left/blue/prog/nonfash) aren’t perfect or are doing something wrong
- Comment on Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard 5 months ago:
In my older age I’ve come to the realization that a lot of people join movements just to belong, not because they actually hold the conviction. I think in fact there are people who aren’t capable of even having a conviction, just bouncing between whatever expressive habits are most convenient socially
You see it with things like politics and religion too

Yes. Not only that, but to pave the way for Trumps third, fourth, eight terms, and a sweeping presidential powers bill to coast through Congress that makes Patriot Act look like the Bill of Rights.

Doing something political for years and then NOT doing something political is not “politically neutral,” you’re actively decided to make a politically motivated decision instead of simply continue with existing behavior.

small annoyances like it shifting up when you know you need to slow down in a second to take a corner, and then it’s in the wrong gear and it has to shift down again when you need to accelerate out of the corner
I mean, no modern automatic acts like this. It shifts up when you’re accelerating, shifts down when you’re decelerating. I guess if you’re a lead foot, it would make more difference. Or if you’re driving a race car. Not your typical road driving.

automatic transmissions are still more expensive than manual ones
Is it still though? I dare say it is becoming increasingly common (in the US) that in order to get a manual transmission you have to make a special order.

Try this: stand up, walk to the other side of the room and back
I mean, I have spondylitic arthritis, but okay. (Luckily I got on the good meds again.)
which steak do you think will turn out the most delicious?
Ah but the question wasn’t quality, it was convenience.
Even if you argue that after a while the less convenient becomes familiar, that doesn’t really mean it was more convenient, it was just not inconvenient for you. But I have to say even if you’re a seasoned manual driver, not having to shift every 25mph is arguably more convenient than having to, even if you’ve gotten used to it.
People got used to climbing stairs, doesn’t mean we stopped using elevators.

It’s weird to me that y’all don’t appreciate the convenience of advancing technology.
It’s like going “only mentally disabled folks use microwaves, the rest of us light the wood stove and let it simmer for a half hour”
Especially when Europe is known for its electric kettles, which are only recently becoming common in the US, who have traditionally used range-heated kettles.
- Comment on I'll just take the bus 8 months ago:
At some point in time it was argued that manual allowed finer control of engine efficiency to automatic which simply shifted at certain speeds or rpms that weren’t always ideal. So properly driving a manual meant you saved gas.
I dare say in the decades since that argument began, automatic transmissions have gotten way better and reasonably as efficient as the average manual driver.
Also, when manuals were more generally common, they were generally cheaper than automatics. I don’t know if that’s true anymore, but I think the average person will have a hard time finding a manual new (consumer grade) vehicle in any given dealership in the US these days – you’d have to get it ordered.
