It’s okay with me

Flipping shots gets done far too often in movies. I remember a particularly egregious one in one of the Harry Potter movies where all the text on the blackboard behind a teacher was mirrored lol.

Yeah, im talking about the 207 BILLION US dollars they need to raise. That’s an absolutely insane amount of currency if it had to be backed by real things and not “Hey buddy, its the U.S.! nothing could go catastrophically wrong and make this all valueless overnight”

But it’s what the article is comparing to when they say “market prices”. This particular store is based out of California.

At restaurants here you would ask the host/waiter the market price before deciding to order.

So with things like fish that can change day to day are they required to just update it every day? that sounds nice.

so i switched myself and my parents to arch linux over the past 3-4 months and I can say definitively that those specs are fine for CachyOS (an Arch Linux distro). My mom is using my hand-me-down 970 with its lovely “we charged you for 4gb of vram but actually only 3.5 of it is fast haha sucker” and it runs great paired to an old i7 6700k.

I think what we’re seeing is the result of their stock depleting actually. AI has been buying up supply for a while, and I don’t think the consumer markets are able to compete.

Speaking from personal experience with family? Quicken. Yes you CAN get it running in Wine but not everything works. Also I could get it running in exactly one distro and then I could never seem to get it installed again, even following advice from someone on WineHQ.

I’m always afraid to test ESC during a cutscene because I’ve been burned by games that auto skip cutscenes when you hit ESC. Who does that.

Halitosis was already the medical term for bad breath, with evidence of its use in England. All that word did was give an American businessman/marketer a polite euphemism to talk about something that was considered taboo at the time (body odors were associated with poor hygiene and lower status people). It does seem like they pushed hard with marketing to make it into a more widespread “problem” though.

My sister used to only eat a steak if it was charred black and covered in ground black pepper. Not sure if that’s “better” or worse than burnt bacon.

I was born in the late 80s, grew up in the 90s and 2000s, and it’s both fascinating and terrifying to me how much of what I thought was just “standard” stuff was influenced by marketing 50-100 years before I was even born. Santa Clause as a jolly old man with rosy cheeks and a snow white beard wasn’t a big thing until Coca-Cola made it part of their advertising in the 30s. The bacon with breakfast thing was the result of a food packaging company in the 1920s hiring a man named Edward Bernays to help them sell more bacon. Bernays was allegedly so good at marketing/manipulation that people like Hitler and Goebbels kept copies of his books. Orange juice became a thing because orange producers in Florida in the early 1900s made too many oranges for the market (in an attempt to beat out California as the country’s orange production state), and juicing them was considered a better alternative to reducing production.

Have you seen Archer? It’s an animated comedy but it hits some of the same vibes, at least for the first 3-4 seasons. Things get… weird after that.

Same here. There’s just something about the gang that helps me see the good. They’re objectively terrible people but at the end of the day they always stick together.

I’m doing a Dexter rewatch over the holidays. Apparently there are a bunch of sequels/prequels now and I wanna refresh my memory before diving into those shows.;

Sorry, I need leatherbound pounds to go with my wallet. Next!

Voyager has that “found family” vibe that most of the shows don’t really.

Burn Notice. I dont know what it is but it’s like watching a version of “How It’s Made” from a fictional universe. All of the voiceovers about spycraft are bullshit but my brain just buys it for whatever reason.

Also, can’t belive I forgot this, but “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”.
