Fair bit of the articles here are just drawn from press releases. 

So this appears to be entirely routine coffee substitute. But greenwashed to high hell and billed as something new.

Point worth making is coffee substitutes like chicory are mostly a thing because they’re significantly cheaper. Like a whole fuck ton cheaper. Charging fancy coffee prices for them would be really…

Apparently not without some work on Windows 10. I seem to remember the Homeworld games being sorta tricky to run. 

Sure I don’t see why “but PCs are hard” justification has to be any part of that. Since much of it just isn’t true, and hasn’t been for a long time.

DAO apparently has some squirly on modern systems, though there are plenty of unresolved bugs left from the original release. It ran fine last time I ran through it a few years back, so I think it was recent Windows and Directx changes or something wut done it. I was thinking of playing through it again because I got…

There’s also a reason I’ve never been much of a PC gamer. I just like things to work without any fuss.

So first and fore most, provided we are talking about games that came out after about 2005, and honestly most games from 2000. They tend to just work in Windows. It’s a little more hit and miss heading back into the 90's, and DOS games generally you want to use an emulator.

There is seldom a ton of work needed these…

DOSbox is the go to emulator for DOS games. There is a MacOS version.

These things are hardly consistent across contexts. For example red flags are also a symbol of Socialist, Communist, and by extension sometimes general leftist movements. Particularly in Europe.

Maybe that’s what they were told, or saw discussed online. Even if that’s the case I think they missed what’s disturbing…

The Flag Code is “advisory”, and even if it wasn’t it’d be un-enforceable on 1st amendment grounds. Similar laws with penalties and enforcement baked in have been repeatedly ruled unconstitutional. And were mostly targeted at flag burning, and intended to target Left Wing protest movements.

“The Jazz Singer” was a massive success and groundbreaking in the industry but would probably never get made today. Not because of the Blackface aspect - that could easily be removed, just change the type of entertainment done by the main character - but because it’s “too Jewish.”

It definitely edges into psuedo-science. But the popular presentation, and especially it’s use in shit like this or by Peterson bears little to no resemblance to it as an academic fields.

It’s one of those terms like “quantum” and “epigenetics” that you can just slap on bullshit and ideological claims to make them…

It’s a neoliberal ideology of self-interest, individualism, personal responsibility, and political apathy.

I am 99% certain that the bulk of that subreddit is men’s rights knobs and incels role playing. The article doesn’t get the similarity by half. It doesn’t just ape the fondness for acronyms and general approach. It perfectly mirrors the ideology, from the fixation with traditional values and chastity to the “clean…

Live in a major pumpkin growing region in the North East. Pumpkins are fine here. Though most of the pumpkins we grow don’t go to supermarkets and home improvement stores anyway.

They grow ornamentals here for tourist trade, otherwise we’re heavy on heirlooms and squash you actually want to eat. 

Wait so the Guys throwing an obvious novelty, stunt festival. On that’s serving chowder in a land locked state. Are going to throw shade at “regular festivals” cause they “serve up the latest sandwich trend”?

And their major funding source was the brand itself. Meaning it was a pretty much just a marketing promotion?

Th…

That’s an aweful lot of hand wringing there. For the most part no. People don’t use pumpkins for more than pie. For about the last 100 years they’ve primarily been grown as an ornamental crop. That’s only started to change the last 10 years or so, people actually eat them these days. So it kinda the opposite of your…

I’ve only had it cold. You could probably warm it up, I’ve seen nog done that way. Personally hate nog, but for some reason I love coquito. At least the ones I’ve had.

It’s not traditional to cook the eggs in either nog or coquito, and they tend to taste better and end up with a better texture if you don’t. If that…

I don’t think this stuff would froth up much. It’s a bit more like ice cream base than anything else I could compare it to. It’s a bit dense to foam up too much.

That is definitely too big for even the larger standard sized blender carafes. But there’s no reason it has to be blended, aside from maybe the pumpkin puree…

OOO yes. I work in boozahol wholesale. Our trucks break down, some times catastrophically, on the regular. Even supposedly brand new trucks.
