- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 18 hours ago:
I’ve never noticed a change in taste, but I mostly buy 2% milk. Fairlife does taste creamier to me than other brands, likely due to its “ultra filtered” process however that works. I do wish that brand came in cartons instead of plastic bottles though.
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 19 hours ago:
Not really. All I know is when I buy Lactaid, or Fairlife, or one of the many other lactose-free brands in the US, their sell by date is usually around 30 days.

Does it have to be done during rush hour?
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 1 day ago:
Tip: Lactose-free milk tastes the same, is easier on your digestive system, and doesn’t expire for over a month.

Really? I thought it was just poor leadership from the top.
- Comment on $96.5 million for Nadella | Microsoft's CEO receives record pay in a year that saw 15,000+ layoffs 1 week ago:
Android and iOS have made companies fortunes. But keep telling yourself Windows Phone needed to die.
Same with game consoles. Switch I & II have made Nintendo a ton of money.
These Microsoft products would have been profitable in the hands of a company that actually cared about them.

All the more reason to spin off their consumer products divisions rather than killing them.
- Comment on $96.5 million for Nadella | Microsoft's CEO receives record pay in a year that saw 15,000+ layoffs 1 week ago:
Microsoft would be better up split into multiple companies. They’re killing windows with lack of innovation. They’re also putting Xbox slowly out of business. They have no phone on the market and they barely have a tablet with the surface line. They also stopped making peripherals.
I think the current CEO is just trying to make Microsoft into the next lumbering IBM.

Nowhere near enough $$.

What a waste of money. Where’s “DOGE”? 🙄

I liked Uhura’s hair in The Motion Picture. Would be cool to see those jumpsuit uniforms again someday.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Cast And EPs Talk “Going For Broke” In Season 4, “Bittersweet” Season 5 2 weeks ago:
I really wish they would bring in some riffs on the original series’ hairstyles. I wanna see some woven blond hair and 1960’s style hair falls.
- Comment on Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different. | Federal layoffs and an end to diversity initiatives have weakened a historically strong labor market for Black workers. 2 weeks ago:
Looks like they are a good percentage of government workers so the Trump layoffs are hitting them disproportionately.

I disagree with the article that lowering interest rates is going to help them much. Higher interest rates tamp down inflation.
I also had to laugh at this quote:
“Conditions started to deteriorate in 2024 after pandemic-era subsidies expired.”
Yes, I’m sure it was the subsidies, and had nothing to do with the Trump regime coming into power. 🙄

Unemployment is surging for everyone. It’s the Trump economy.
- Comment on Teens charged with murder after deaths of Melbourne boys refuse to attend court 2 weeks ago:
They could still be charged with contempt for not showing up. It sounds like their legal counsel told them not to go to court because the court wanted to take their dna. They will probably be fighting that first.

This dude must have a Reese’s mug stashed somewhere.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.
- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 3 weeks ago:
Steam OS really needs a simple to use installer with the option to automatically add a partition to an existing Windows PC. Even if you don’t dual boot, it would encourage more people to try it and wean themselves off of Windows.
- Comment on Brits in disbelief as new refillable drinks ban implemented across UK 3 weeks ago:
Unsweetened tea is a thing. Sugar free iced tea is a thing. Herbal iced tea is a thing.
- Comment on Brits in disbelief as new refillable drinks ban implemented across UK 3 weeks ago:
Maybe now the UK will catch on to iced tea? Free refills!
- Comment on Microsoft reportedly mulls ad-infested free Xbox Cloud Gaming plan — Game Pass Ultimate subscriber allegedly catches ad during game loading 3 weeks ago:
That explains the recent price increase. Like the TV streamers, they know they make more money from ad revenue than subscriptions. So, they want to funnel users to the “free” tier.

An article about two competing products I will never use. 🤷♂️

Oh well. Not sure I trust any “modernization” efforts under this administration.
- Comment on Trekmovie.com: Scott Bakula-Led ‘Star Trek: United’ Pitch Explores Archer’s Family, Romulan War Aftermath 4 weeks ago:
Star Trek is under new ownership — it’ll be interesting to see if they hire a new show runner/producer going forward.
- Comment on Amazon launches Vega OS, its Android replacement for Fire TV with no sideloading 4 weeks ago:
The are a lot of TVs that work fine if you never set up their internet connection. Roku is one of them.
- Comment on ‘Mine, Baby, Mine’: Trump Officials Offer $625 Million to Rescue Coal 4 weeks ago:
What a waste of money. Those millions would pay for a lot of solar, wind, and battery power.
- Comment on Yes, Apple. This is exactly what I wanted *facepalm* 4 weeks ago:
Tahoe is still a wreck.
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 4 weeks ago:
Some people like it. Some people hate it. You’re going to have to make that determination for yourself. You’ll know by the time you get to season two which camp youre in
Personally I found the cast wasted on poor writing. And as someone else mentioned, the show concentrates entirely too much on Burnham. Half of the bridge crew you probably won’t know their names by the end of season one. There were a couple of bright spots — Saru’s backstory and character were well done.
- Comment on UK officially rolls out digital ID scheme, to combat illegal migrants working. 4 weeks ago:
This won’t stop immigrant employment. It just means they’ll be paid in cash under the table.
Will UK be requiring an ID to get medical care? That might make a dent there, but it’s a mixed bag because people who don’t get care spread illness. Especially bad during pandemics.

Why would Apple invest intel? Apple makes their own CPUs and modems now.
