Baseball could be called stickball, taking MLS so ‘soccer’ would need a new… Hey, that actually works out.

I’d say not as much sissies, more moronic cavemen who don’t know how not to hurt themselves or each other.

Didn’t know.
It still does (at least to me) look like they formatted it to low-key insult the people complaining about the advent of ads on appliances.

I get the vibe that they wanted to use Karen, but realized alienating and insulting their users just for complaining about the ads was a bit too far. (Apple and Samsung can just rot in a ditch)
- Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate 1 week ago:
Enterprise is straight garbage right now.
On a work trip to Georgia, they gave me a car with a nice big gash on the front passenger sidewall. I didn’t see it when I picked it up as it was at night and the airport garage was dark and I only noticed it the next day coming out of the factory, after driving all the way from ATL to Suwanee. (~45mi/70km) I wasn’t going to risk a trip back to the airport, so I spent 2-3 hours calling around to try to exchange it at a closer store; a lot of it being on hold and getting hung up on. None of them had any inventory (most were pick-up only) and no one even seemed concerned at all when I told them about the gash.
Eventually I got tired and annoyed of the BS and went to the closest store and told them to just take the car back as I got a rental elsewhere. (Hertz had a full inventory, right across the street and the service was huge amount more personable and friendly.)
Oi, and here’s the gash.

Brewed is a bit more healthier than instant and you can support local roasters over the corporate-owned ones.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 week ago:
For me, it more boils down to keeping my place within a web page or ever-updating feed.
For instance… If I’m going down a rabbit hole, I could have 4 root tabs open. Those tabs may have lengthy articles and would reference secondary sites throughout the page. Rather then having a good chance of the browser losing my place down the page by clicking on a link normally, I open it in a new tab. This allows me to switch to it, skim down to where it was referenced to understand that part of it, then switch back to the root tab while leaving the secondary tab open to fully read through when I finish with the root one. As the rabbit hole deepens, those secondary tabs may eventually become root tabs which may also reference their own secondary sites or even each other. The number of tabs just keeps growing until I either run out of those secondary tabs or I am just satisfied with the amount of info I gained. This can also happen over several days or weeks and have other rabbit holes open at the same time.

Wonder how big the user base is there. It could be a worthwhile endeavor to inundate it with troll accounts just to screw with him.

Not really. Outside of the commercial usage (like data centers), liquid-cooing is used more just for show.

Some stores have open/door-less refrigerated sections. Not the ideal as it uses up more power and the outer layer of items tend to spoil really quickly.

- Comment on Ay, chihuahua! 2 months ago:
I’ve always more or less seen it as mostly just a training issue as a lot of people think their small size makes it unneeded.
Having had five of them from puppies, one having a litter that we kept two from, (Sister’s idea, I prefer cats) none of them were ever really aggressive unless antagonized. Maybe a bit yippey when the doorbell rang or a stranger was in the house, but after about a minute, they calmed down when they saw there was no threat.
