Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus or Self Contained Oonderwater Breathing Apparatus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuba_diving)

That's the problem with this debate, for every argument, the counter argument is just the same thing but a different example! The only argument that remains is "the creator said so" vs "so what he's lame"

I have the opposite view, but I thought it would be too incendiary a topic to bring up...

I'm going to rant here because your comment re-ignited my rage.

My family and I have weekly dinners. I drive over there and pass through their neighborhood. They own a successful business so it's a pretty nice neighborhood with a good median of trees down the main road passing through (still a 25 MPH speed limit). And every week for several years now, there is a discarded Pepsi can in the median. Not the same can, but a new can every week. Someone drives through there, likely multiple times a week and I'm just not there to see it,, and throws a Pepsi can in roughly the same spot.

It enrages me. It's so senseless and selfish that I cannot even fathom a reason. My best justification is that they're a person who is "sticking it to the rich" by littering in a nice neighborhood, but that's being extremely generous. I am convinced it's purposeful because the consistency is staggering. A new can in the same 100 feet of road, every day.

And I know it's not the same can because if it snows, the snow obscures the cans and the poor hero picking them up can't see them, so when the snow melts there are several cans littered about.

It genuinely makes me so angry, because it's so inexplicably terrible. I just hate things I can't understand. It makes me more angry than Donald Trump because at least with Trump, on some level I get it. I may hate what he's doing but I can logically see why he's doing it and that understanding is almost calming, in a sense.

But this? Absolute nonsense. I just cannot see why someone would do this

No it's quite welcoming as long as you don't overstay your welcome

I spend less than an hour a day, usually. I end up scrolling past a lot of the posts because they don't interest me and are more long form content, but I like to catch up on the memes and cats

One thing that always stuck out to me about the book is the introduction of certain editions. The author writes about himself researching the history of the country the story takes place in and describes it as real, saying he took his son to a museum with Inigo's sword and everything.

I was Googling furiously when I read it because I was so confused. I was astounded that the place (and people) was "real". It took a bit of research to find that the author just does this bit and hasn't let it go since he wrote the book

I'm still so charmed that he tricked me. It made reading the book that much sillier, for me

The US has a lot of bullshit in their labeling requirements. My wife studied food science in university and some of her biggest complaints are:

  • Serving sizes aren't always the entire package*
  • "Natural" has almost no meaning on a package, it is just a hand-waving word
  • They can hide a lot of things in the ingredients under umbrella terms like "spices" and "flavorings"
  • "Made with real juice" does not mean it was made with the juice on the label. For example, a pineapple fruit juice may be more apple juice than actually pineapple juice
  • They can round down to 0 calories if the actual amount is below 5

The most egregious example I've seen lately was a jar of pickles I bought where the serving size is 1/3 of a pickle (now the website says 1/2). That's just so that the sodium doesn't get out of control and, in all likelihood, because an entire pickle may be more than the 5 Calories allowed to say it's "0 Calories".

*This is changing, slowly. Manufacturers now have to put servings for the entire container if it's small enough

Sorry, forgot to specify in the post. But I'm looking for a desktop replacement. We thankfully don't use Windows Server anywhere at the moment.

There's a certain level of irony of a message like theirs in the comments of a meme post
