- Comment on “Teaching crabs how to read” 4 days ago:
random junk goes in private windows. but stuff i might want a history of (research or work related, for instance) to go back later for, stays on the normal window and history.
- Comment on Of course 17-24 NEVER looked like the picture 5 days ago:
the company exists just as a frozen foods company, but is now owned by a south korean conglomerate. when schwans was sold to cj in 2019, the home delivery business was spun-off and still owned by the family. it later went out of business, not long after an absolutely horrible rebrand.

one big cube won’t melt nearly as fast as several smaller ones, so your ‘beverage’ won’t get watered-down as much.
and yea. it is a silly item for aldi. might just be one of those “we’ll see if it sells or not” things. they often have odd things there that never come back.

- Comment on Every fucking time 2 weeks ago:
it’s been almost a year here, i’m still going down (what my mind thinks is) the ‘correct’ aisle, only to be reminded when i get there that what i’m looking for i literally walked past a minute earlier, five rows back.
- Comment on Every fucking time 2 weeks ago:
they’re just pushing more higher margin products. they’ll restock the ‘basics’ more frequently as a result of giving those things less shelf space.

- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 3 weeks ago:
i pieced together a comparable 2tb on pcpartpicker, using the cheapest reputable choices and vendors. it was about $200-250 less for the pc (without an os).
- Comment on magic 3 weeks ago:
uh, oh. i bought two extra pair when i found some that actually fit and were ‘affordable’. still wearing the first pair, so these other two have yet to be taken out of the bags they came home from the store in. that was almost two years ago.

i’ve run across some people around here who i would never have guessed knew about linux.. and not only did they know–they ran it. and yea, more than one was ‘i use arch btw’.
- Comment on Just How Much Are E.V. Drivers Saving With Gas Prices Still High? Over a long period, gas prices tend to be more volatile than electricity rates. 3 weeks ago:
of course gas prices are ‘volatile’ compared to electric. one is hardly regulated, is based on the whims of the wealthy and producers, affected by regional ‘issues’ on the other side of the planet… while the other is regulated in most parts of the u.s.
my per kwh rate has rarely strayed more than a half cent higher or lower than it was in 2000 and is nearly the same now as it was then (public utility and hydro). meanwhile, gas prices the last 20 years look like a sharpie scribble.

it sure catches the eye.
- Comment on Cheese is available 3 weeks ago:
velveeta has a similar recipe as the ‘singles’, it contains some cheese, but also a lot of stuff that isn’t.
- Comment on Cheese is available 4 weeks ago:
the cheese slices that fast food burger joints (mcdonalds, bk, etc) use is real cheese. the “zomg americans don’t know what cheese is” stuff.. the wrapped ‘singles’ is the processed junk-restaurants don’t normally use that on sandwiches or burgers, but they might use it or velveeta (similar but sold in blocks) in a smooth melty sauce or something. i use it in some hotdishes and part of the cheeses i put in homemade mac & cheese.
- Comment on is it spelled "grey" or "gray"? 4 weeks ago:
henry gray, the author of the iconic medical text.
albert grey, former governor general (ca). the grey cup (cfl championship game and trophy) takes its name from him.
- Comment on is it spelled "grey" or "gray"? 4 weeks ago:
for the color i use “a” always.. but was taught either one was acceptable, unless it’s a name (proper noun).

- Comment on Today I got 2 IDE adapters. One doesn't fit together with Molex, another is an aspiring fire starter. 4 weeks ago:
the last ide adapter i got (this would be at least 15 years ago) came with a separate power supply for the molex connection. i’ve used that power supply more often than the adapter itself.
- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 4 weeks ago:
4-day work weeks are great, especially if you have a significant commute, because you’re cutting 20% of that right out. the adding 2 hours to every work day, not so much; but the longer hours can mean that traffic is a bit lighter. the guaranteed week day off is huge when you have ‘stuff’ to do.
- Comment on Is it possible to install a distro directly from online ? 4 weeks ago:
probably lack of volunteers to make it uefi compatible, and not worth putting paid talent on an optional feature used by a really, really small number of people. bitlocker-as-default would have broke it for good anyway.
