Quite a few of my local Chinese places still use the clamshell takeout ones. It’s the worst. The plastic and the stereotypical one both work really well. The Styrofoam is good at leaking all the sauce out the sides.

I saw the one in the 2000s in the theater. I thought it was fun and the subterranean dinos were neat, but apart from that it wasn’t very memorable. But I’ve read the novel and… I’d say the exact same thing about the novel. So it’s a great adaptation. Verne is fun, but Wells had something to say.

Not illogical. I was talking with a friend one night under a tree and had one fall on my face. Super gross.

Wait, the Netherlands has legal magic mushrooms? That surprises me given that I’ve heard their weed isn’t quite as freely legal as their reputation makes it seem.

In the US, your state’s department of weights and measures might care. They’re the ones who verify grocery store scales, taxi cab fare meters, gas pumps… they exist to make sure you’re not getting ripped off. If you’re in a blue state they care, in a red state ymmv.

I was just thinking red bean cheesecake would probably be pretty tasty.

They said they ate several bags of 'em, blame the lead poisoning.

And they’re not owned by Sinclair, WAOW based!

U2 was a test run.

Iirc one of the devs left? Action Retro mentioned it in his video on the new Macs. I don’t really care enough to find out more.

I’d seriously consider it if Asahi Linux wasn’t going through a bit of drama right now and won’t get to it for a while. I need a tiny laptop for writing though. If I could find an old 11" MacBook Air that would be great but I don’t think they’re worth what they’re selling for on eBay and finding one cheap locally hasn’t happened for me yet.

Off topic but Berm Peak is awesome.

IDK but I’ve seen pics of 911 operator setups with some absurd number of screens and I bet there’s a lot of stuff that would be useful for them to have open.

I like Clive Cussler novels and I still agree with you, lol. They’re stupid fun, a cross between James Bond and Indiana Jones but not quite as good as either.

I was in Trader Joe’s yesterday and I think I saw a recall for a similar product for the same reason…

Yup, looks like the TJ chicken fried rice has the same manufacturer.

Sure, but they’ve also got a reputation for treating their employees okay by fast food standards. That would be the right move for BK to get friendlier employees, but sHaReHoLdErS!

I’m less worried about LLMs pushing products (although finding honest reviews of products has become more difficult with AI and astroturfing), it’s their use as propaganda tools for state actors and oligarchs pushing agendas that I’m most worried about. And that’s not going away when the bubble pops.

I’ve once made the mistake of stepping into an anime con game room on Sunday that gave out free samples of Axe body spray. You just end up with Axe + heinous body odor. I’m not sure it’s worse, but it’s not better.

Transfems are you still doing pickle jokes or have y’all mostly switched away from spiro?

I wonder how many of those folks grew up under an authoritarian parenting style too?
