Thanks to both of you for the added context and corrections. My memory was very vague, I did remember the Vitamin E thing. I had also forgotten it was the THC vapes that were the issue.
- Comment on Good to see AAFES looking out for my health 2 weeks ago:
Popcorn was a legit scary thing because nobody knew what was causing it in the vapes. If I’m not mistaken it turned out to be something to do with a food safe additive that either was or turned into vitamin E when heated and was not safe to inhale. It was the cheap unregulated vape juices that were using that additive and the young people who are over heating and over juicing their vapes to rip those huge clouds that were effected. It’s just one more example of how important drug and food regulations are.

Isn’t this from the popcorn lung scare?

We used to have shared cultural events. If you wanted to watch a thing, you had to watch it at its designated time (or record it to watch later, I got pretty good with my VCRs timer functions). With streaming and with some shows being dumped all at once, we lost that. I much prefer the weekly schedule for this reason.

Which is what I did after I tried these. Which, I almost think, is the point of these. It gets us adults to buy Sunny D.

It doesn’t taste like that. Notice the zero sugar. It has the distinct taste of artificial sweetner ruining an otherwise awesome concept.

A long time ago, I learned a way to do something that had a similar effect. Most places I’ve worked allow you to have a split deposit. So, I have two checking accounts at my bank. Add up all your monthly recurring expenses, then have a split deposit so that enough money goes to one of the checking accounts for the recurring expenses, anything leftover goes to your other checking account. You can spend all the money in the “spending” account because your bills are covered by the “bills” account.

I had a job that paid semi monthly. Every 1st and 15th. This meme definitely fits on those 31 day months.

I switched to DuckDuckGo a while back and even that was beneficial. I can always tell when I’m on a different machine and I forget to switch the default search… It’s wild how fast they’ve fallen.
These days I setup ollama with open webui to host my own ai. Then you can connect Searxng to that and have the AI search the web for you and return no nonsense results.

Your vegetarian chili sounds better, and I’m definitely more on the carnivore side. I don’t know if I’ve ever made chili with pinto beans. I’m a kidney and red bean man myself.

A guajillo, as in one? You’re proving my point here. And nothing spicy.
- Comment on I feel this way about cinnamon. 5 weeks ago:
Again, I don’t necessarily disagree about it from a competition/traditionalist perspective, but I’m going to put it in mine because I like it. That said, I do find that most recipes are akin to a tomato, meat, and beans stew and are sorely lacking in the chilis that the dish is named after.
- Comment on I feel this way about cinnamon. 5 weeks ago:
If you’re chili con carne is “just meat,” you’ve seriously skimped on the star of the show, the chilis. Which most people seem to do… I’ve seen way too many chili recipes that are basically just a tomato, meat, and bean stew with a dash of chili powder.
I don’t think any food is pure. Traditions are forever changing.
I 100% agree. Hence I said I understand the purists and the chili competitions that don’t allow beans, but I’m going to make mine with beans. Also, much of the best foods are fusions. The chilis, the spicy fruits not the dish, are the perfect example. I can’t imagine a world in which Indian, Thai, or just about any Asian dish doesn’t have a spicy kick to it. Yet every single species of chili originated in South America. Same story with the tomato. My favorite cuisine is Cajun which is French cooking techniques using the South American and Haitian ingredients that were available. There are countless examples like that.

Chili is short for chili con carne, not chili con carne y frijoles. I understand competitions demanding a certain “purity.” That said, I will put beans in my chili because that’s what I like.

They always ruin good sounding rolls with cucumber.

Depending on the roadway, it’s super dangerous. Telephone and power lines are hard to see, deadly hazards for aircraft in that situation. If something is landing on a road, it’s probably an extreme emergency, and it’s best to give them as much room as possible.

This was so obvious when he was ousted and then came back. It was honestly shocking seeing people rooting for the person that is clearly the “bad guy” in that scenario.

I knew there was some way the insurance company was weaseling out of paying.

That seems like it shouldn’t matter… Either two half size payouts or one full payout is what it seems like it should be. I’m sure there are some shenanigans that make it not that simple when it really should be.

Its the parts fault if they cant get an easy vote, not the voter’s
Ultimately, yes that’s the case. It’s the candidates job to attract voters.

And that’s great, that’s what I do in the primaries. I’m not about to risk a Trump presidency just to place a vote for a 3rd party that I probably also don’t actually like. Just plug the nose and stop the larger threat.

Whatever helps you sleep at night if Trump gets elected.

This vote is far too important to protest vote. Especially now that I live in a swing state.

Technically I’m voting for Biden, in reality I’m voting against Trump. I really wish I had a better option…

Lol, they’re so rare you have to make a list of vegan athletes. This is a prime example of the exception proving the rule.
