If I’m driving down a dark desert highway, there better be cool wind in my hair!

My first car was a ‘76 Pacer. I still have a soft spot for them, and kinda would love to have one powered by something like a turbo I4.

Our local Arby’s has had more trouble staying open than other restaurants, too, for some reason. A couple of days ago our Walmart started closing at 8 pm instead of 11 due to staffing shortages.

Well, it’s also about portion sizes and ratios, isn’t it? Clearly portion sizes in the U.S. are far too large, and for it’s size, the Popeye’s chicken breast itself is underseasoned. There may be visible herbs in the batter, but there’s not enough salt in the chicken. I’d prefer a smaller piece of chicken with the…

I’ll have to give the spicy a try. The nearest Popeye’s is 20+miles from me, so I don’t get there a lot.

Normal, but “spicy” and “seasoned” aren’t really the same thing. The chicken itself just needs more salt, IMO.

I have to say that I preferred the Crispy Colonel. “20% larger” isn’t something I was looking for, and I liked the seasoning of the CC better than the new sandwich. That said, the new sandwich is still very good, and one of my favorite chicken sandwiches. If you could combine the seasoning of the KFC sandwich with the…

If there is, I thought it was kind of the opposite: “At the table small men may do the greater deeds.” - J.R.R. Tolkien

Clove oil can work great for toothache. When my wife had her wisdom teeth out several years ago, the dentist actually recommended putting a wad of gauze soaked in clove oil on a troublesome socket, and she said it helped a lot.

Roku isn’t obscure in the U.S. It has the largest market share of streaming devices by a large margin, almost twice the next most popular platform.

Also, you can use an ad blocker with a privacy-focused rule list, and use a privacy browser plug-in such as Privacy Badger.

I was happy to see that both my favorite movie (Back To The Future) and one the best movies I’ve seen (Do The Right Thing) are on the list. The other one on my best list is Apocalypse Now.

In-N-Out?

Like several others here, I suggest California Olive Ranch. It’s easily available (even at Walmart here), affordable, and pretty darn good. I really like the grassy, peppery flavor of a good EV olive oil.

For us, probably about a week in general. We often freeze single or double servings of soup after a couple of days, since it’s a thing that tends to get made in larger batches. We’ve been eating lentil stew for the past few days, and it’s about time to freeze the rest of that, because I think I’ve had enough for a…

We found a small frog in the bathroom a couple of years ago. Not really sure how it got there, unless it got into the attic through an eave vent, then into the bathroom fan that used to go into the attic (I’ve since fixed that situation so it vents outside like it should).

I don’t know, I grew up in the Midwest (Southern Illinois), and 99 Luftballons was relatively popular here. I even heard both the English and German versions when I was in HS.

Gen X: We’re still bitter about disco

Oh, the dumb things we did as kids. I was just remembering being a HS freshman and riding in the trunk along with a girl to a church youth group event. We had the car packed with kids, and the only place we would fit was in the trunk. It was probably an Olds Delta 88. It seemed like half the families in town had one…
