Florida. Because all arrest records and mugshots are pretty much immediately available to the public they get the most stories of dumb criminals in the media

Sorta yeah but most large chains dont really do most of their ordering manually - it’s half if not mostly or completely automated based on sales, trends and size.

It’s obviously very different in small stores where they expect X amount of product they paid for. But it’s super easy for, say, Walmart, to move inventory around based on possible trends.

I’m not saying your wrong but it is kinda noticable when my grocery store started carrying lobster a week after I was looking it up on door dash. After not having it for ~10 years or suddenly having 3 frozen geese a month after taking about it after never having it (~18 years at this house).

I’m not about to spend $130 on a small frozen goose. Or ~$80 on a 1lb lobster. I will, however, spend money on lamb - something I’ve been purposefully bringing up in gchat a lot recently. Something they stopped selling about a decade ago.

If lamb is suddenly available in the next monthish I’ll respond to this comment - but maybe I’m just noticing trends that don’t exist.

Cost, yeah I was thinking about that. Lobster is pretty readily available at other locations nearby (ish),. Same can be said for lamb and goose. Same distribution center just dropping it off at a different store.

These are things I can buy with only a little travel it’s just now they are immediately available as soon as I talk about it.

Not me specifically - generally where you are and what you’re taking about (phone location and general conversation).

I don’t think anyone specifically is actually listening to me. I think it’s automated marketing gone wild.

I still think of doing things “Dick hard and retard strong”. Offensive sure, but my former roommate used to always use it as ‘doing something reckless and not thought out but with full intent full steam ahead regardless of consequences’.

Edit: not even regardless of consequences, consequences were never part of the equation

Oh man, I remember 7th Guest that game was so cool - a video game with live action cut scenes! That was the same genre as Rama (1996)

I got ID’d the other day to buy beer. I’m almost 40.

I get where OP is coming from overall, but that’s kinda been Futurama’s thing. Other places it’s shoe horned in and lazy but that’s been like half of Futurama’s episodes (and the vast majority of South Park) since the beginning.

That being said, I do think the quality of TV has been going downhill for years and few things seem to really be original anymore.

I posted this elsewhere, but according to a quick Google it’s up to $18k per tree and from the images I found, it’s 5 trees. $90k is couch cushion money to Universal. They DGAF about fines.

Depends on the use case. I used to make websites (~10 years ago) and someone wanted an image scroller and I knew for a fact someone else would want the same thing but with a different number of images showing and maybe instead of clicking next it shows the next image it shows the next 3 images etc. We had piles of very specific scrolling scripts that weren’t flexible and were hard to bring to another site. I spent a bunch of my own time making a single script that could cover most cases and it ended up saving a ton of time and became the go-to script for everyone.

Eventually someone else came in and upgraded the script and made it better before making it a core script. Now with a couple HTML classes (and a little CSS) anything can be a scroller. Options can be changed with a few data attributes.

Sometimes it’s worth it sometimes it’s not. I’ve had things so specific that I coded it like I was robbing a liquor store (get in and out as fast as possible).

If I had a dollar for every time I proposed spending more time on something to make it flexible and able to grow but being told to “hard code it” to save time, I’d have several dollars. If I had a dollar for every time I had to patch that 6 months later, I’d have several more dollars.

Unrelated to the artical, but years ago I bought a Corsair k95 and got a box of them (4x). Gave away 2 of them but I still have one new in box if mine ever gives out.

I live in the desert so its usually a dry heat so I get to use a evaporative/swamp cooler. It uses way less electricity than the AC. I just have to crack open a few windows across the house and turn on a fan in the hallway and it gets quite cool and doesn’t get too humid inside. It hit 110ºF (43ºC) today and it never got above 72ºF (22ºC) inside.

Maybe. Idk I’m a straight dude and my ideas of what makes a man sexy isn’t lingerie - although I think Magic Mike was pretty popular.

But maybe I’m being close minded and you are on to an untapped market ( honestly, not trying to be an ass ).

Isn’t there a general consesus in sports that testosterone makes a big difference?

I see where you’re coming from (I heard from a friend who heard from a friend) but I guess that depends on who you’re asking and what the sport is. Golf is hand-eye coordination, practice and skill. Balls or ovaries, it shouldn’t make any difference when it comes to golf.

Fun fact: bowling, pool and darts are also gendered in many leagues. Pretty sure testosterone wouldn’t be the deciding factor in the winner in those.

Honesty when it comes to lingerie I think there’s just a very small market. I had a drunk conversation with my former roommate and her gay BFF many many years ago and I got this piece of gold from her BFF (paraphrasing) - “it’s not about the wrapping, it’s about the package” (not penis)

I’m not a smart person, but my calculator says that a 200lb person would weigh 4 tons so I’m not totally sure there could even be multicellular life on that planet. Plus any atmosphere would probably be quite thicc

The MDMA studies are super interesting, might help with addiction, depression and PTSD. Glad they are actually starting to study possible clinical use.
