I don’t drink milk (shut up) or eat breakfast (x2) but I’ll devour a box of Frosted Flakes Lucky Charms, which combines the two into a trail mix of certain diabetes.  I can’t eat the oat cereal part of regular Lucky Charms, they make me sick for some reason.  Yes, I am an odd bird.

With just a few minutes’ drive of each other near me are “The Diner” and “The Gulf Shores Diner”, with completely different menus and styles. People get them confused from time to time. At one point, within a reasonable drive of the beach we also had… Papa John’s, Papa’s Pizza, Papa Murphy’s, Papa Rocco’s and Pappa’s…

If you’re over thirty there’s no way you have the physical capability to tell a well encoded song from a badly encoded one. Cochlea degeneration from aging takes care of those high frequency sounds that lossy compression doesn’t deal with.

At least doing this, you’re choosing the compression scheme and bitrate yourself, to match your needs, which is nice. There is this thing called “cascading codecs” where your digitally compressed music is being re-coded on the fly for Bluetooth since it’s not lossless, and it can compound the issues with lossy…

Do you have hearing damage? Not snark, a serious question. The only people I know who think it sounds fine are longtime concert goers or older folks with substantial age-related hearing loss. Or kids listening on their stock iPhone earbuds.

^ A million times this. Not only is it superior quality audio versus most downloadable tracks, it’s a physical backup you actually own; no rightsholder can take it away if their panties get in a wad over something stupid.

Silly me, I found iTunes in the Windows 10 app store and thought it might actually be a new version, designed like all the other “Windows Metro” styled apps.  Nope, it’s the same massive, clunky crapwagon that you get direct from the Apple website.  It doesn’t even support dynamic updating, so every week or two it’s a…

Went to YouTube to look up “The Good Dinosaur tripping scene”; was not disappointed.

As someone whose family has lost homes —and witnessed neighborhoods and lives upended — due to tornadoes in the past, you can summarily go fuck yourself and your selfish attitude.

When I was a teenager and seeing movies 3-5x a week, I’d occasionally sneak food in just to keep costs down.  I’m only slightly ashamed to admit to sneaking in chicken burritos from Taco Casa from time to time.  It was noisy as fuck unwrapping them because they used the loudest damned wrapping paper AND a second layer…

Well, I did my part. I don’t binge watch the show, but I’ve been a regular viewer, and I got a survey on their shows and ranked it as my favorite of the current stuff. An odd mix of shows have kept me paying: this, Bojack and the kids show The Dragon Prince, which I totally cop to watching as an adult, alone, and…

I haven’t had any milk since I was in the fourth grade. While standing in line to pick up lunch in elementary school, one of the tables was just covered in chocolate milk-puke. It looked disgusting and smelled even worse. Somehow, I was the only one who seemed to be traumatized by it. No one else seemed to care, and…

I feel like it is my avatar-duty to come in here and say:

Huh, I didn’t know they’d changed the sweetness level. I haven’t actually been to a McDonald’s for tea or anything else in several years. But my memory of it was as sweet as any good southern sweet tea I’d ever had.

You guys are making a big deal about diabetes and obesity related to sweet tea, meanwhile I’m over here on the McDonald’s website looking at how a medium Coca-Cola has 58g of sugar while their medium sweet tea has 28g. And Starbucks’ caramel frappe that people drink like it’s not six desserts has 66g.

I’m going to counter abbygirl47 and say don’t splurge on expensive teas… sweet tea is about the sugar hit first and the tea flavor is just kind of there in the background, so don’t waste your money on a strongly flavored tea. It’s OK to buy one that’s made for making iced tea, because it will be lower quality. On…

I think skunks are fascinating creatures, and would love to have one. People have been known to keep them (rescues) as pets, de-scented. Unfortunately they are illegal to keep in most states, which means finding vet care can be tricky.

Oh, that’s easy. Old timers would just cash checks at the grocery store or bank. My 93 year old grandmother has never used an ATM to my knowledge, and has never swiped a debit card.

I used to review on Urbanspoon before it sold out to foreign ownership who fired all the American staff and outsourced all the database updates and review approvals to India. It went from being the perfect restaurant review site (obscure enough to not draw the entitlement crowd, but big enough to ink data deals with…
