We once did a side-by-side comparison of KitKats (we live right on the border) and the difference was stunning.

Bad comparison on that one. KitKat brand in the USA is an entirely different company that the rest of the world. So they aren’t even the pretending to be the same recipe.

I tried to like the Aldi chocolate bars but they leave this strange fatty coating in my mouth after eating them. I don’t experience that with other brands.

and play a lot of classic wow.

I’m wondering if you can tell me where I can find Mankrik’s wife.

Those that argue in bad faith usually abandon consistency in the process. Because they don’t believe in the argument they are presenting, as soon as they are proven wrong they simply pivot to a new, and likely, contradictory argument. This often occurs because their real reason for their desired outcome is abhorrent (and they are aware of that) but they argue a different reason that would have the same outcome. This is prime red meat for racists and misogynists, as an example.

According to a probable cause statement obtained by FOX31, Vigil told officers that someone in the house was making a sandwich and asked for hot sauce. When Vigil reportedly responded that the condiment was in an upstairs bedroom, a verbal dispute broke out and quickly escalated into a physical fight.

I can’t tell if I’m just getting old and jaded, but the 20 year old murder nephew was living with extended family (the Uncle), and while living there he decided that the household hot sauce bottle was acceptable to take (and keep?) in his personal bedroom. This smells like a certainly level of entitlement on the part of the nephew. The nephew then killing the uncle in the uncle’s own house says it even more.

So if one of his offspring were to kill another one of his offspring the murdering offspring’s share goes up (along with all the other surviving offspring)? This sounds like a dangerous announcement.

All of that plus any “Punisher” logo on clothing or vehicles.

That was the initial plan but it hit a number of roadblocks.

1. The release of the Robotaxi product was much delayed, and had Tesla kept to the “no buyout of leased cars” they would have been swimming in returned vehicles with nothing to do with them yet.

2. The policy was put in place at a time when the autonomous hardware was thought to be the “final” version (referred to as Hardware 3). It turns out the “final” version wasn’t powerful enough, so a new final version was released (Hardware 4). So all the cars that were leased were not going to be useful as taxi cabs, so they offered those for sale to their leasers.

This is an easy one:

Ask them to point to the depopulation occurring.

On the graph the fuzzy dot is on June 2021 which was around the time that vaccines were in full availability. According to their logic we should see a decline occurring from the “depopulation” occurring from COVID vaccines. Where is that decline?

That used to be the case because the peppers were specifically grown just for Huy Fong. However, Huy Fong screwed over their exclusive pepper grower to increase profits. The peppers they get now don’t taste the same.

I love this! Companies are doing the hard work for me of knowing which products I shouldn’t buy with trump contamination warning labeling right on the package? More of this please!

Olson said. “All of these companies, including those not listed such as LLFlex and Anchor Hocking, are extremely supportive of President Trump and the MAGA Agenda,

See? This is usually how I have to figure out what companies to boycott. Anchor Hocking is now on my “never buy again” right next to Goya.

assuming I’m worried about a smash and grab

For your specific use case, how about this:

Get a cheap USB thumb drive and a long USB cable. Put your disk unlock password on that thumb drive, and semi-permanently affix the USB drive to your building. You said you’re in a basement. Put it on top of a rafter with a metal fitting that would keep the drive from being taken without removing the screws. Run the long USB cable from the thumb driving in your rafter to the USB port on the machine. Alter your startup script to mount the thumb drive read the password from the thumb drive to unlock your main disk. Don’t forget to immediately unmount the thumbdrive in the OS after the disk is unlocked for extra safety.

If someone is doing a smash and grab, they’ll unplug all the cables (including this USB cable going to the thumb drive) and take your machine leaving the disk encryption password behind on the USB thumb drive.

They are angry at how their life ended up, but can’t see how or why they got there, as it relates to their own actions. It’s all someone and something else’s fault.

Are sure it isn’t narcissism they have?

Another vote for Bosch.

BTW, you know you’re old when you get excited about dishwasher features. I accept I’m old now.

If you can get a higher end 800 series, it has two really cool features: Crystal Dry and Eco mode

You know those silica desiccant pouches that get shipped in everything from our electronics to our beef jerky? Just by being exposed to air, the crystals absorb water. You can even reuse the crystals if you heat them and the water evaporates out. The Bosch 800 series has a large container of these type of crystals (Zeolite) in the back of the unit.

During the heating step, the container is opened allowing the hot moisture to escape. The container then closes, and the wet washing cycle begins. After the dishes are all clean, the container opens again, and the hot wet air inside the dishwasher is pushed through the desiccant container. Because its a closed system, all the water in the air and on the dishes is absorbed by the desiccant and they are bone dry ready to be put away! The desiccant lasts decades so its not like a wearable part.

This feature used to be only available on the high end Thermador Sapphire dishwashers costing a minimum of $2000. A few years ago Bosch allowed this feature in their high end models, the 800 series.

Another feature the 800 series has is “Eco mode”, which saves a lot of water and energy at the cost of a longer dishwasher cycle. Instead of using a 6 gallons of water and a huge amount of electricity to heat the water super hot (for most effective quick washing), it uses only 2.4 gallons of water and half the electricity not heating the water as much, but using that water for much longer cleaning to get the same cleaning in the end. A Eco cycle runs for about 2 hours (which the unit is crazy quiet too). The run time doesn’t bother me a bit because I usually start or schedule the dishwasher to run when I’m not in the kitchen anyway. Also yes, you can run Eco mode and have it finish with Crystal Dry.

But that also wastes a lot of freshwater from dish washing

I’m going to pick on this one point. A high end dishwasher appliance only use 2.4 gallons (9L) of fresh water, while even average dishwashers use about 5 to 6 gallons. To put that in perspective an 8 minute shower likely uses 17 gallons.

So dishwashing is a tiny tiny waste, if you can even call it a waste.

Good luck. Coin boys live by the coin and die by the coin, or so I’m told.

slap bracelets

Of all the silly trends this one sounds very benign. They aren’t hurting anyone. No one is bullied. They don’t sound particularly loud or distracting to others not interested.

Coin boys, keep doing your thing. Even if I’m not into it, be the most awesome Coin boy you can today.
