Similarly to how wine bottles with metal caps used to be frowned upon, because “all quality wines were bottled with corks”. I’ve had both awful and great wines from both corked and capped bottles.

I can’t always buy my kind of stuff at cheap (enough) places. A few years back it was hella difficult to find straight fit jeans, and even now it’s rare to find one in the right size and colour. Bootcut (?) jeans made a pretty belated comeback in my country back when I was in my mid 20s, and I don’t think I can find them anymore. If I could, I would wear a not-too-wildly-bootcut one for summer.

I developed a habit way in my childhood.
You swallow. Then you tell yourself it was a peppercorn or some other bullshit. Unless you bit on something crunchy and super toxic, chances are you save yourself the disgust and loss of appetite.
But obviously check the rest of the food, just in case.

- Comment on LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues 3 weeks ago:
I… I was today years old.
I honestly thought LibreOffice was some rebranded name. It’s been a while since I’ve used any of them.
- Comment on You could get anything you wanted and it was FREE 3 weeks ago:
While it’s super annoying for the tech savvy, and gives a great opportunity to ill willed tech people, I’m sure it was an idiot proofing move. The average user is a not-so-tech-savvy office person, having relatively fuck all knowledge on extensions, and back in the time pretty much all programs got picky when facing an unknown/unsupported extension. Your average Joe/Jolene opened ‘veryimportantspreadsheet.xls’, renamed it to ‘veryimportantspreadsheetnew’ (without the extension), and made it impossible for Excel to open it by double clicking. Then in the best case they triggered an IT support request; in the worst case they reported that the very important spreadsheet got lost/corrupted and data was lost.

As you said, it had the buying power of $1.25. Therefore, at the same size and at the price of $1.25, it would be perfectly alright. Don’t blame inflation, blame greedy companies increasing prices above inflation AND also shrinking portions.

I’m otherwise not super deep into economics so thanks for the correction. TIL.

Also, if you’re rooting for deflation: more ofthen than not, when deflation happens, things are not going great in terms of economics.

- Comment on Hungary’s Musical Road plays a melody through your car tyres as you drive—an amazing fusion of road design and sound engineering. 5 weeks ago:
the joke is it’s painted on the actual route 67.
I couldn’t find it in the linked article either, but unfortunately it’s less jokey, as in, the vocalist that also sang this song passed away tragically early in 2011, and apart from the systemic corruption, it was also made as a tribute to him.

Yeah, but since an infinite number of monkeys are working on it already, it will be just one copy for each of the infinite number of monkeys.
