- Comment on Why do a lot of frozen salmon thawing instructions say to remove the salmon from the individual wrappers before thawing? 2 days ago:
So that they’re not frozen into a single mass of filets when all you want is one or two.
- Comment on $29 in San Francisco 1 week ago:
Only tangentially related but I bought a bottle of OceanSpray cranberry last night and it was $7.75! I dont think I’ve ever paid more than $3 for a bottle of this stuff before.
- Comment on $29 in San Francisco 1 week ago:
It looks like it’s straight out of the Sysco order catalog.
- Comment on $29 in San Francisco 1 week ago:
Still better than Patnou (?) and their 200 absurd questions each day.
- Comment on California colleges bought everyone ChatGPT. No one knows what to do with it. 1 week ago:
I cant wait to see some student claim that their “AI Agent” attended all their classes and did all their assignments for them, so they want their diploma from the college
- Comment on How are there people who don't know Alaska and Hawaii are states? 2 weeks ago:
I think I remember a story about a Hertz employee refusing to honor a reservation for someone from New Mexico because they claimed they needed an international driver’s license to rent the car since “they didn’t live in the US.”
- Comment on Preview ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Puppet Episode With 13 New Photos From “Level-Five Transporter Accident” 2 weeks ago:
Am i crazy or did SNW already do a puppet episode? I swear I’ve seen this already from on of the past seasons (or perhaps DSC?)
- Comment on Are there any serial killers still active in the US today? With all the tech like dna, fingerprints, flock camera's etc. Would it be almost impossible to be one? 2 weeks ago:
The reasoning is more about investigations getting better at catching murderers after their first kill, preventing them from ever becoming serial killers.
But that isn’t what’s happening. It’s a 50/50 coin toss whether someone gets caught for murder. statista.com/…/rate-of-homicides-that-go-unsolved…
What I’ve heard is that pollution (like lead and other chemicals) is what rotted children’s brains and made the murder rate skyrocket in the 70s, 80s, and 90s as they reached adulthood.
- Comment on The price of soda in 2017 2 weeks ago:
That’s fucking crazy. I think my 18 pack of Celsius is cheaper than that (per can) by quite a bit. I haven’t bought soda in a while but I always remember it being under $5 for a case. It’s mostly water.
- Comment on How come when paying cash for gas, it is not like a coke machine where you can insert your money? And when it hits that limit it clicks off? 3 weeks ago:
I mean a fake plate that resembles a real one that someone else has registered.
People are probably more honest in NZ. In the US people are regularly screwed over all the time (usually by companies just like this) so we’re primed to screw over others at every opportunity.

I thought the birth rate declining was due to them requiring everyone to pixellate their genitals, which makes it much tougher to ‘line things up’

Interesting. What if you put a fake plate on your car?
- Comment on This man is from Arkansas 3 weeks ago:
I find it so hard to believe that hes not British after seeing him on The Nanny for years. He even looks British.
- Comment on Saw this at the store this morning, took a double take 3 weeks ago:
“Great for drivers!” If you still want to smell like alcohol when you get pulled over but without having drank any.
- Comment on Saw this at the store this morning, took a double take 3 weeks ago:
The same reason why vapes are considered “tobacco products” despite not containing any tobacco and considered “flavored” if they contain any flavor (or no flavor) besides “tobacco” flavor (which is actually just caramel flavoring since vape juice has no flavor by default). It’s because politicians are stupid and short sighted and most of these regulations make little sense outside of government control.
- Comment on If you could use a Rube Goldberg like contraption on any task you find extremely strenuous, what would it be? 3 weeks ago:
Also folding them.
- Comment on Take-Two CEO Says We'll All Be Streaming Our Games In 3 Years 3 weeks ago:
Of course, but that isn’t going to drive consumer demand in a good direction and studios are already shutting down left and right.
They don’t need to switch to a streaming model in order to charge subscription fees, and streaming isn’t going to bring any benefit to the player (and comes with huge drawbacks if, for example, you have shitty internet speeds or data caps), so again I’ll ask why? It’s just adding tons of unnecessary bandwidth usage over the current model but offers no benefit that I can see to anyone involved.
- Comment on Take-Two CEO Says We'll All Be Streaming Our Games In 3 Years 3 weeks ago:
And all for what, too? Just so you don’t have to spend 20 minutes downloading a game one time?
- Comment on Arizona teas at $1.59… we used to be a proper country. 3 weeks ago:
They’ve probably compensated by only adding 2/3 of the flavoring.
- Comment on Is there a reason why toilets are made out of one of the most resonating materials possible while also being made in a shape that makes a small fart sound like a damn trombone? 4 weeks ago:
Don’t forget the part where your cellmate is laying on his bunk 3 feet away with not a damn thing separating you.
- Comment on EA's deal to go private under Saudi Arabia is officially complete 4 weeks ago:
I’m a diehard ME fan and completed Andromeda in its entirety and thought it was completely soulless character/story-wise. The gameplay mostly consisted of running back and forth across the map to retrieve items.
The original trilogy had an incredible story and incredible characters. The followup game, not so much. IIRC the studio abandoned the game pretty quick in order to work on their next release which further ruined Andromeda.
- Comment on Only boomers can use this bench. Meanwhile, they're trying to get rid of their own property taxes. 4 weeks ago:
I doubt this is about bench maintenance and more about giving and excuse to chase homeless people and kids away from the area. In other places they just use bench designs that are uncomfortable or make it impossible to lay down.
- Comment on Netflix is garbage 4 weeks ago:
Ironically, I’ve been finding myself using Netflix again after years (stayed subscribed for the wife and MIL) to watch One Piece, a show about pirates, since I can access it at work and also because they skip both the intro and recap unlike Plex which only skips the intro.
- Comment on Will Hollywood's remake of Parasite really succeed? 5 weeks ago:
The family will probably be “broke” still but live in an expansive Manhattan high-rise apartment like so many movies and series before it.
- Comment on What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America) 5 weeks ago:
This trick also works for waitresses in Vegas. Tip well and they’ll bring you a fresh, non-watered down drink as fast as you can drink them.
- Comment on What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America) 5 weeks ago:
This is absurd. What employee anywhere wouldn’t ask for more pay? What employer is holding out on raising their employee’s pay simply because they haven’t asked?
Above you also commented that “they continually vote against their own best interests and don’t unionize” but what are you even talking about? Are you claiming most barbers are conservatives? Most barbers are independent contractors.
- Comment on What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America) 5 weeks ago:
But how do you contort your body enough to hold the razor between your butt cheeks like that?
- Comment on What was a bad TV show season renewal you've seen? 5 weeks ago:
I think you forgot some important words toward the end their.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 5 weeks ago:
How much time have you personally spent with any of your representatives?
- Comment on Would people like a "X posts per Y" rate limit for this community? 5 weeks ago:
Maybe just for one user in particular…
