You’re kidding, right?

We rode without seatbelts in the back of stations wagons. Worse: just ready to fly free in pickup beds. It was almost expected that people would drink and drive.

All that said, you can still eat, drink, and change stations in most places and it is far, far less distracting than phones.

Citizens United and dark money PACs. As you can see from any given time Trump opens his mouth, people will belive any crazy lie so fast that an sincere politician without massive funding will be smeared with whatever the moneyed interests can dream up. To make sure money wins, they do stuff like remove polling places from poor areas so the lines get so long voters have to choose between getting to work and casting a ballot – IF they can even get to the distant polling place. Texas just did that again a month or two ago.

We learned this in ‘Computer Science 101’. It WAS tested before use, but the issue was missed because when the machine was initially tested, no one was particularly fast at using it.

An experienced operator could edit treatment parameters so fast that the software skipped a safety check due to a ‘race condition’ between the input handler and the radiation beam logic.

According to Datos Insights, in 1992 there were 88,000 households worth $20 million or more in 2022 dollars; by 2022, there were 644,000. Those who could pay almost anything for a vacation were becoming their own mass market.

In 2012 the My Disney Experience app gave guests an easy way to check wait times, show times, restaurant bookings and more. In return, Disney gained a trove of information on exactly where guests went, what they purchased and how much they spent in its complex.

So now that we’ve got a system where you get perks for spending cash.

Fourteen hours later, Ms. Cressel has experienced nine of the park’s attractions, three in the Tier 1 category, plus a parade and the fireworks show. She and her companions leave, exhausted, at 11 p.m., when the park closes.

Note that part of that time was messing with a mobility scooter, but regardless it was less than 1 attraction per hour.

In all, Mr. Conahan and his daughter are able to visit 16 attractions, including all five of the park’s Tier 1 rides plus its two most coveted attractions — Seven Dwarfs and Tron — that charge separately for passes. They do all that, plus the lunch stop and a Dole Whip snack break, in just seven hours.

More than 2 attractions per hour at more than twice the price to get that access. The article implies that big spenders get other rewards, but it doesn’t specify any except mentioning an invite-only club – but we don’t know if that invite is solely monetary or if it has frequent visits from, say, make-a-wish kids and other celebrities.

Well, for one: Lots of conservatives fought and died to stop Hitler.

In case you are serious: easy there, tiger.

The OP was asking about terms like ‘racist’ – not nazi. Yes, anyone walking in a group where there’s a swastiza flag can be appropriately called a nazi because they chose to join in a group with that flag, BUT just because a person is considers themself a ‘conservative’ does not also make them a racist just as being a ‘lefty’ does not make them antisemetic. Maybe they are, but it takes an action or at least a comment – not a general label – to make a judgement.

I’ve seen lots of stores with extra cold storage as shown here. I don’t typically see the lights on for the whole room unless someone is working back there, though. I will say that stores with deli sections typically have their own cold room/walk-in-fridge for open containers and the like.

My German ‘must have more’ was the sauerkraut. It is sooo much better there than in the states, and it was slightly different in each town I tried it. My staple meal was whatever the local version was of: sausage, sauerkraut, and wheat beer.

They’re all part of the fediverse so you see the same content. It is mostly a matter of how you want things to display.

Oh, I didn’t think of that. It depends on the server. I don’t think lemmy servers support tagging, but piefed servers do. Such tags are only displayed to the person making the tag. Piefed servers have issues with displaying post text from the main display and with previewing comments directly under a post, but they display image posts inline … in a buggy kinda way.

If I’m looking for news, I use my lemmy account. If I’m looking for tv/movie stuff, I use piefed … and also get to tag people :-)

I’m guessing that’s a genetic thing – like how some people are ‘super-tasters’ that can’t stand broccoli, I think some people can handle it better than others. For myself, I’d guess I only have 1/2 the trait because I love it roasted, but can’t take too much raw.

I’ve tagged you (with love) “onions and garlic!”

Don’t use a press – just smash with a big knife, pull off the paper, and chop a little. Jarred doesn’t taste the same. Jar-garlic is why I won’t buy Costco’s garlic ‘wings’ yet will buy the Rotisserie chicken right next to it: the ‘wings’ have an enormous excess of garlic, but it all tastes like ‘jar’ and only faintly like garlic.

Nope. Once you make me dictator, I force a bunch of experts to work out a system of government that will make sure there will be no more dictators after me, and that said government will be obligated to work for the betterment of the populace as a whole without massive disparity. At the same time, I’d hire another bunch of experts to figure out what the first bunch got wrong.

While those two groups are working, I shall decree that in one month we will start executing billionaires starting with the richest and working our way down – but anyone who donates all their ‘excess’ money to the new government or charities and research that I personally approve of before the deadline gets to live. I’m counting all off-shore money, and any attempt to flee the country shall be met with lethal force.

Engineering. Engineers are famously conservative. There’s a paper that broke down how non-white and non-male engineers were less conservative, and which types of engineers tended to skew which way, but a reader must remember that most engineers are white men.

You are my spice hero! Perfect list. My only note is that Herbs de Provence is also a mix, just like curries.

But those are vegetables that have a flavor rather than spices. I mean: Brussle Sprouts and Asparagus both have unique flavors, too, but I wouldn’t count them as “spices”, either.

I buy dry in bulk so it ends up being maybe $0.38 for 100 or so. I put 4-7 in most any soup, stew or the like.

For me it is part of the base meal: smash and dice garlic, turn on the stovetop, dice an onion and start it frying, add garlic, figure out what else to put in the pan.

Young Brad Pitt? Absolutely.
Old Abe Vigoda? Probably not.

Mostly it would come down to the attitude of the guy, I’m imaging a pleated skirt above the knees and a sleeveless crop top to better hioghlight the shoulders. Worn proudly on a hot bod? That’d look awesome. Worn with the embarrassment of, say: losing a bet? That’d look lame on anyone.
