Yes, I did go on a road trip and got hassled multiple times, beyond normal strangers getting teased by locals.

You don’t seem to be willing to comprehend what I’m trying to say.

“getting out” is how I know that people are aggressively anti-mask, ya hack

I live in central-to-southern Illinois and I just get teased when I go into the rural, out-of-town stores for wearing a blank, cloth mask. When I drove out of state, and especially out toward the carolinas, is where we got ‘talked to.’

Midwest red can be different than southern red, I guess

Erik wasn’t very explicit, but I imagine part of the concern is that in very-red regions, you will get hassled for wearing a mask in public. If you unknowingly stop in a certain part of town in certain red regions and you’re alone, it’s reasonable to be concerned for your safety if you don’t get out and leave before…

I feel like listening to Welcome to Night Vale while driving through Nebraska would be a terrible, terrible idea, but your sentence definitely read out like a line straight from the podcast

Pretty cool idea, especially because even if a consumer doesn’t want to battery swap, they can still buy a battery when theirs dies and they won’t be paying crazy money for a brand or even model-specific battery.

Then that phony historical context complaint really falls away. Would the complaint still exist if the bot also had a routine that magically clicked through to the site in the background (magic in that it would count for a full click-through, didn’t get counted as a bounce, and did whatever it needed to render full ad…

That’s not how stainless steel works. Stainless steel can and will rust if you get any carbon steel and water in it. Scraping your stainless steel pan with a carbon steel utensil can cause rust - and most utensils are carbon steel because they’re a 1/4 the price of stainless and hold up to abuse better than stainless.…

It certainly sounds like blog writers, who depend on metrics that require readers to spend time on the page to generate income, don’t want to relinquish control of how users access the advertised information. If only someone could teach the foodie blogs to use godforsaken slideshows to maximize clicks before being…

Is the “shitty” part just skipping the unsolicited context? Because scrolling and using a filter or bot are then effectively the same thing, because the only people who would use the bot are people who would scroll anyway. It sounds like no one is changing the content they view whether they use this old/new bot or…

Right? I mean if you’re going to talk about how much you like the phone holder, maybe a photo of that would be a nice addition.

I feel that most people have a waning taste for sweet things as we age. like how a lot of sugary drinks are just staggering for me to taste anymore, and I’m not even old

the commenter specifically asked for an explanation you walnut. you know what makes jokes funnier? not explaining them when asked and then pretending the exclusivity has any value whatsoever

That’s just different demographics, though, isn’t it?

stouts are a type of beer. hops are a flower that add bitterness (and other less pronounced flavors) to beer, and beer nerds like to joke that too many brewers add too much hops to beer. see also: hatred for all the IPA hipsters, where IPAs are known for being way too hoppy

there are rules on exposed tire width in certain jurisdictions, and aero issues, too. just take them off if you don’t like them, but ford wants to add more width for stability and still sell in 50 states.

This is easily done in Illinois outside of Cook county

...f...fortyfive up a hill? Are you towing a mac truck?? And 65 on the flat, how many states is that the speed limit on the highway?
