Yes. If you avoid the mass marketed junk food and chain restaurants, you can find some delicious and unique cuisine almost anywhere.

Yeah mass produced garbage is garbage, but there’s good food outside of that. 3-4 distinct bbq styles all great in their own right. Clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl. NY pizza, Detroit Pizza, Chicago Pizza and hot beef sandwiches. Biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, fried okra. Blackened seafood, crawfish boils, jambalaya, beignets. Where I’m at, smoked fish, wild rice, and pasties.

Do we have meter cola?

In the cat and mouse game, sex always wins. Nudity will, uh, find a way.

Maybe a government run service that reads your unique identifier and provides a simple adult:yes/no to the website. That takes the burden off the sites and keeps personal identification info in a publicly owned system.

It’s a rat race. If you don’t, someone will and you lose.

Yep it’s the return shipping that gets you. I order from REI but the closest store is 2 hours so I go 1-2x a year. Often my orders have free shipping but return shipping is prohibitively expensive. This keeps me from buying some things from their online store, either waiting to go in person or ordering it somewhere else. Or most likely, paying a bit more to get something similar locally.

This reminds me of the time I played the first half of “Please play this song on the radio” on the college radio station.

Capitalism at its worst. Here let’s make more plastic garbage so that you have to buy more things.

Of course a Loki would avoid reading a text to prevent sending a read receipt.

My take on boomerifying is getting other generations to behave like the stereotypical boomer, not that they are actual boomers by birthday.

But why is it mirrored? Shiny is on the left, always has been.

Heartburn has only been a problem for me when I am eating too many carbs. This was one of my low carb phases so no problem there.

It definitely burned going down, but the real fun came the next morning on the way out.

Home made low carb pizza with garden grown Carolina reapers on it. Yum!

It is called a scintillating scotoma or ocular migraine. Scintillating is accurate; this clear crescent shows up in your vision and It is rippling with rainbow fringes. It starts off as a point somewhere in your vision, slowly expanding into a visible crescent that continues to expand. After about half an hour the crescent expands beyond your field of vision (FOV). For me it is paired with a loopy slightly lightheaded feeling that goes away with a whoosh once it leaves my FOV.

They are often triggered by bright light and may be correlated with migraines. I’ve had three of these happen but never had a migraine headache afaik.

Edit: clear might be the wrong word? My mind blends it in other than the rainbow fringes, but I think I can’t actually see what is behind the crescent.
