The main problem is that I have to traverse several owned properties with like guards and shit who are confronting people. I’m continuing to do this with the sign out, being carried, because fug em, but it would be nice not to have to worry about the car being towed. I can put a blanket around it while I walk through these big lengthy areas but it’s pretty unconvincing, they’ll know my car and whatnot, and I’d have to carry the blanket around.
For the purposes of this thought experiment, would there be a way to reduce the size of the sign?
Gary suggested this which might work for a while… I can also picture in my mind these little metal (?) grappy things used to attach two things, maybe pressureboard or wood, together? I might have hallucinated these.
You could also cut it into strips to be reassembled by poking stiff wires through the foam like rebar through concrete between the cardboard layers and tape so it doesn’t slide apart.
Did they improve microwave popcorn bag technology at some point in the last decade? The instructions to stop the microwave when pops slow down to 1 ever 2 seconds hasn’t changed, but I got used to it always burning, and a bunch of kernels being left over. That’s just not an issue at all for me anymore.
Just gonna “pop” in to say that I made popcorn in a gas stovetop pot recently by just following the instructions on the bag. It was super easy, delicious, and there were no raw kernel pieces to get stuck in teeth. Not an option for everyone and also does require some focus but so much better than microwave and theater style.
Popcorn lung was mainly a thing that affected people doing the packaging of microwave popcorn, not consumers. But regardless the chemical (diacetyl) that caused popcorn lung in the guy that won the settlement (after eating 2 bags of buttered popcorn a day for years) was phased out of almost all microwave popcorn brands in the USA in 2007, so we can all freely and gaily enjoy huffing multiple bags of microwave popcorn every day without destroying our lungs.
Also diacetyl was the best butter flavoring and getting rid of it, while a net good, is why buttered microwave popcorn doesn’t taste as good any more (I’m an Orville Redenbacher simply salted guy myself)
I know the bags all say to never use the microwave setting on your microwave but I had one that once perfectly popped a bag with zero unpopped kernels left at the bottom. It was probably the coolest thing to ever happen to me.
Reminds me of the time I used self checkout at CVS and my purchase total after sales tax was exactly $20, I have never been more excited to pay for something
There was a Technology Connections video about the popcorn button. Turns out modern microwaves are actually pretty decent at popping popcorn unassisted (sometimes).
is there a videogame database that lets you browse games by their country of development?
the axe questions thread seems to have died, so also: has anyone yet made a found footage horror combining the concepts “doorbell camera” and “black-eyed kids phenomenon”?
What’s the word on on a good counter top water filtration system for a family of 4? Years ago I lived with a partner who bought one of those big silver ones with the charcoal columns inside (gravity filter). I liked that but feel like I read there are issues. My partners situation is currently two Brita pitchers and I want to pitch her on something better.
