Stores sell sturdy plastic jugs that the milk bags fit into snugly, so it basically pours like a pitcher. You just snip a small corner off the top of the bag once it’s inserted into The jug. The jug lasts forever, though it does get funky over time with any dribbles of milk that make it between the bag and jug.

I loved how in Carnival if you could time it just right you could keep shooting the lowest bear in the bonus level and just keep him going back and forth like 20 times. Also the elusive diamond that would appear in a dropped apple in Mr. Do. I think I only had it happen twice ever in what seemed like thousands of games.

Pepsi Frito Lay is big enough not to care about the profits from one market globally. In Canada a couple years back they had a pricing dispute with the country’s largest grocer which resulted in all of their snack products being unavailable nationwide for that grocery chain. Pepsico increased prices during the heart of the pandemic and the grocer refused to pay the higher price so Pepsico just stopped shipping product to them. It lasted for 2 months, and in the end the dispute resolved with no benefit to the customer whatsoever. Lays, Doritos, etc. remain the highest priced chips in the store by a long shot.

You da real mvp

This actually really happened in Michigan, and the woman was convicted, partly owing to the bird. It’s super creepy to hear the bird say “don’t fucking shoot!”

Like they said in the article, Homicide Life on the Street is where I remember him from. Lots of good actors and performances in that show, but he was a standout. RIP.

Does this mean the Stormtroopers are going to execute the Jedi now?

You’re right, and also, fuck this timeline.

I misgendered a woman who was already very irate. This was probably 30 years ago, before trangenderism was as common as it is now (or at least as publicly presented). It did NOT go over well, to say the least. Other customers were smirking and giggling, and even a coworker was having trouble keeping a straight face. In my defense, she was heavyset, had shaved hair and a raspy voice. Luckily I didn’t say any of this to her. I just got my manager and let her yell at me (and him) for 10 minutes. I learned the value of keeping your mouth shut until you’re certain that day.

The officers took it when he checked into jail

Even Media Matters admitted that the circumstances under which the antisemitic content appeared next to the named advertisers would be very hard to replicate - they basically followed only the advertisers and the antisemitic accounts to see how long it would take to link the two, but still, it’s not like they hid what they were doing. It’s not quite the gotcha that Media Matters held it out to be, but is still only a factual account - they were able to get hateful content to show up beside an advertisers name, and that’s why I’m sure X gets their ass handed to them in this lawsuit they’ve filed. It wasn’t fraudulent, or in bad faith, it was simply an exposition of what the platform can do.

That was lovely. The song has a place in my heart and they did it justice.

I’m not sure if this is just another way of saying what others have said, but I also upvote if something accomplished the theme of the community. The example that comes to mind is from the other site, but if something on r/mademesmile actually made me smile, I upvoted. As for downvotes, I usually save them for posts that I want to be less visible for whatever reason. Sometimes that is because I disagree sometimes it is because they are reposts, or low effort trolling, etc. Right or wrong, that’s how I do it.

Happy to spread the joy. Another book that doesn’t have quite the same focus but I still love is Artcade, which deals with cabinet side art and marquee art from the classic arcade era of the 70s and 80s.

That’s awesome! Thanks for the great work that you (and Tim) did on that book. It’s one of my fave gaming books.

Art of Atari is a great book for getting into this. I love the way the marketers and the artists had to spin up these great stories and art to get people interested in the rudimentary graphics and gameplay that were actually on the screen.

Loved this show as a kid. One of the many shows that featured a man and his vehicle. Knight Rider, A-Team, BJ & the Bear, Miami Vice, Hardcastle & McCormick, Airwolf, Dukes of Hazzard, Chips, etc.

Kind of like a KitKat, but the filling between the wafers is a bit thicker and sweet coffee flavoured.

The TLDR of the article near the end:

“Once a woman has sex, there’s really no limit to the pain that Republicans believe is her just deserts. Bleeding out from an untreated miscarriage, losing a job, delivering a baby to watch it die on the table, struggling to feed young children, being stuck in an abusive relationship: They understand perfectly well that these are among the likely outcomes of forced childbirth for women. But of course, making women suffer is, and always has been, the point. Ed Durr’s only mistake was saying so out loud.”
