White? Or is it the background for the time left in the quarter you meant? The scores appear to be white on blue and white on black. Not sure why they did the WNBA logo to be on orange though. The shot clock being on red makes sense to me as it is the “imminent danger”.

Look, instant messages were instant, but getting the computer to boot up, connecting to the Internet and logging in were not.
I’m on the younger end but I remember so Many people having routines like prep the coffee machine the night before, when the alarm went off you would get up youd hit the power button on the computer, turn on the coffee machine, them hop in the shower. When you got out of the shower you would log in, and go grab a cup of coffee, then come back and connect to the Internet. Drink your coffee and you could check the 2 items and emails you needed before running out the door

- Comment on Is there any reason not to charge my laptop with a USB C phone charger? 1 week ago:
You think that, but every iPhone and Android phone says otherwise that has a lithium ion battery. It’s built in their OS as a feature to ensure longer battery duration long term. Unless Apple, Samsung, Google are all doing it for a myth… I have my doubts. They essentially set it to go to 80% then slow charge to 100 the last bit before you wake so it won’t sit trying to restart charging from 99% to 100% for hours
- Comment on Is there any reason not to charge my laptop with a USB C phone charger? 1 week ago:
Some of it is the cord, but usually the limiter is the AC DC adapter. “The brick” some would call it. The battery should be fine as far as my limited knowledge goes. Stay at 80% and below and you should keep the life of a lithium ion battery long

- Comment on Is toothpaste supposed to be sealed or is this how shitty the products just are now? 1 week ago:
I messaged them, I’ll make sure I give their response here. I just think it’s rediculous to buy a product (2 pack) and both be shit that don’t seal. It made me question whether they actually meant it to be or they declared it shelf stable

I would say McDonald’s, Burger King, and every other restaurant that advertises 100% real beef, while still being bad quality is better than taco bells meat. The Bell doesnt claim it because it isnt even all beef. So while the 100% beef claim doesn’t mean much for quality, Taco Bell is a sin for the soul which is why it goes down so well drunk. (Sadly delicious) But I think quality wise it is something like Taco Bell < Arby’s < Burger King< McDonald’s< Wendys < Culvers/Five guys/ and shit like in and out because their stuff isn’t frozen in the last group. I’m sure I missed many, they are just off the top of the dome memories

Yeah when I opened the box I had to pull it to the top. Then realized “don’t press to hard” because it will start to prefer the side gaps if you don’t go easy.

Taco bell gets grade D ground meat in a bag that was precooked and they set it in hot/warm water or w.e to get it ready for use.
Chipotle suis vide’s their steak and ships it in those bags, then they break the seal and sear it on a grill to get it ready.
I’m hoping we consider the second more than a step above the first, but idk

Well from late 2001 food network viewership spiked like mad. Now things like YouTube have high viewership for all kinds of food things. I don’t know what kids watch now, but if my spouses tik tok has food all over it I imagine they can’t fully avoid it

From the right perspective they do two things, relatively.

True, but really no person would have known what the fuck he was on about either. It’s just a job that was better off not being done at all
- Comment on Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst 2 weeks ago:
A couple years ago I was back in Florida visiting my parents and I forgot how weird shit was there sometimes. About 75+ degrees outside and out of nowhere sudden hail/downpour. Hail of all different sized, one piece was like half a soft ball. Went on for maybe 60 seconds. Was long enough for me to open the door, acknowledge I could no longer see shit, and then pick up that giant piece of ice and the storm cloud passed. A bit over 2-3" of rain I emptied out of the rain gauge.
Everywhere has weird weather moments, but that one will always stand out to me.

Step one would to be a wizard I guess, otherwise you’ll never even find the castle and forgot what you were doing so you are just back to trying to find someone wanting to play corn hole

Their political enemies:
Uh… let’s check with what Trump said last, raise or lower taxes? Take away or give guns? Drugs bad or good? Cartels bad or good? War bad or good? Raping kids bad or good?
Ooh I know. We still hate anyone who says people should be treated equal and or fair.

Settings>Apps>Phone> Screen calls, there are 3 options for that. One let’s all through, one screens them and gives you a text transcript, the last sends them all to voicemail with a silent ring so it doesn’t disturb you.
- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 3 weeks ago:
Yeah our “Chinese” places usually just do chicken in a bunch of ways that may or may not be from Asia.
Chicken with Broccoli, Chicken and snow peas or mixed vegetables, Moo Goo Gai Pan, Curry Chicken, Szechuan Chicken, Mongolian Chicken, Kung Pao, Chicken with Cashews, Hunan with black bean sauce, hot and spicy, black pepper w/ onion, Coconut, sweet and sour, lemon, honey, sesame, Bourbon, Orange, General Tsos.
Is it Chinese, no. The people making it know, the people eating it know, but if they called it “Chicken Many ways” then you wouldn’t know they sold dumplings, pork and what not, lol.
- Comment on I saw your face in a crowded place 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, the U.S. has something like 140,000 miles of railroads, 14x that of of a country like the UK, but because the U.S. is so massive, it is just inconvenient for most travelers, so it gets used mostly for freight shipping. (Also most of it is not high speed rails, so for many, it doesn’t make the trip for efficient time and or price wise, knowing they will likely still need to rent a car when they get to their destination)
- Comment on I saw your face in a crowded place 3 weeks ago:
Chicago is fairly well known for having trains as well. That said, I’ve never lived somewhere in the U.S. where you wouldn’t hear train horns at some point usually freight, but transport does happen as well. Dropped someone off at the train station in Nashville so they could go visit family in Michigan a little while back
- Comment on Home renovations 3 weeks ago:
Step one of leaving a light on for a month might be a big hole in this plan those days. Electricity diff would be like a dollar or 2 at worst because bulbs are like 12 watts now. If the temperature went up by a couple degrees one day the AC would make it fluctuate more than that and you wouldn’t even notice on a bill
- Comment on PROTIP 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, especially 16-18 when I was working, I usually always had a pocket knife or multi tool on me because they would come in handy. That said, we didn’t have metal detectors or strange prison like school like we do now apparently.
- Comment on i mean 4 weeks ago:
Is that a real controller? I was wondering what they even labeled all the buttons, and got LB LT MU?
On the right it’s labeled RB, RT, M2, which means to me it should say M1 on the left, but I would have assumed RM and LM would have made more sense?
- Comment on My poor tapeworm 4 weeks ago:
No idea, check with your doctor if you get a tapeworm lol, id assume it’s different for everyone and size/growth age as well.
It’s like “tobacco is the number 1 cause of lung cancer”
But if you exclude tobacco from the product, the results are the same/similar. (Shown in many studies tied to vapes)… Which means tobacco likely isn’t the root origin, it’s just foreign material in the lungs giving cardiovascular issues.
I couldn’t prove pumpkin seeds have no effect or great effect, I’m a food on the Internet
- Comment on My poor tapeworm 4 weeks ago:
I always wondered why people atr pumpkin seeds, then I found out one day they are natural dewormers when I was checking if my chickens could eat pumpkins. Turns out it works for humans as well
