What the fuck… My co worker put a video of this… On snap like 11 hours ago from Aldi’s. Like, this could be a screen grab of it.
They’re 4 square cubes of clear ice and Aldi wants like $5 for them.

Competing with China is too much work. Easier to game the system than it is to change a business.

Yeah. I grew up watching the Flintstones. He was never portrayed as a loser. He was just a regular blue collar guy. Like Dan on Roseanne. Not like Al from married with children. Someone who was broke all the time but still had a 2 story house and dog, wife, two kids, and a shitty car and vacation like every year even though he was a single income shoe salesman at a mall that was bad at his job.

I work with a guy who is convinced the earth is flat and space is fake and all the governments know it and that’s why planes aren’t allowed to ever fly over Antarctica or something.
But even that guy jumped off the trump train.

Even a once annoyingly popular country song just about the red solo cup.

This song is the only thing I remember from an absolutely terrible movie called “the Stupids” that came out back in the 90s.

- Comment on So wise. 1 week ago:
It’s stupid simple… If you know 6% of one hundred is 6, then you should know 6% of 50 is 3. You just cut each number in half.
- Comment on So wise. 1 week ago:
it’s very often not useful. Like, what’s 6% of 80? See. Still hard.
Also, with the 6% of 50 example it’s easy without using this trick.
What’s 6% of 100? 6, right? So cut 100 in half to get to 50, and cut the 6 in half to get the 3. Cut the 50 in half again and cut the 3 in half again, and you’ll also know that 6% of 25 is 1.5.
Which also lets you know that 6% of 75 is 4.5. the 3 from the 50, plus the 1.5 from the 25. or just know to split the difference between the 3 at 50 and the 6 at 100.
A lot of math is just tricks for a thinking process.
- Comment on Skeletor laying down, out and about FYI 1 week ago:
I’ve just never had a spicy shit, but I eat hotter stuff than literally anyone I have ever met in person before. I’ll leave my hot sauces in the community fridge up at work and no one will use them because they know it will melt their faces off, but it’s what I splash on my pizza or sandwich or chicken or whatever.

pfft. I wish. I’m immune to spicy shits.

Some people get to go to the beach all the time and enjoy having fun there and being social. Not quietly listening to the waves. You want a public beach to be your way, go buy a private beach.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 1 week ago:
We’re getting down to a workable $800 pricepoint. You forgot to deduct the ram and other components that have also been vastly inflated, or taken into account that by all typical logic before the ai shit storm was that if a 2tb drive was $120 three years ago, by now it should have been about $75. Same for the ram having a price decline.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 1 week ago:
Not by the outlook at how cheap a 2tb drive would have cost by now if AI data centers didn’t fuck it up. A 2TB nvme drive 3 years ago was ander $110.
- Comment on magic 2 weeks ago:
I’m not. The arches are there, and I own work boots with good support and all that. I just don’t where shoes like that all the time, so all the muscles and tendons and ligaments in my feet never got weakened. You weren’t born needing shoes.
- Comment on magic 2 weeks ago:
My pair of Chuck Taylors had no support when I bought them 25 years ago, and they still don’t have any support today.
Arch support and comfy shoes are a perpetual cycle. You need those shoes because you wore those types of shoes and it made your feet “weak”.

I have fully taken advantage of their free games. I just never buy anything on their store. I have hundreds of their free games and a lot of them are awesome games. Anything I want to buy I go through steam or gog.
