Florida. Because all arrest records and mugshots are pretty much immediately available to the public they get the most stories of dumb criminals in the media

Sorta yeah but most large chains dont really do most of their ordering manually - it's half if not mostly or completely automated based on sales, trends and size.

It's obviously very different in small stores where they expect X amount of product they paid for. But it's super easy for, say, Walmart, to move inventory around based on possible trends.

I'm not saying your wrong but it is kinda noticable when my grocery store started carrying lobster a week after I was looking it up on door dash. After not having it for ~10 years or suddenly having 3 frozen geese a month after taking about it after never having it (~18 years at this house).

I'm not about to spend $130 on a small frozen goose. Or ~$80 on a 1lb lobster. I will, however, spend money on lamb - something I've been purposefully bringing up in gchat a lot recently. Something they stopped selling about a decade ago.

If lamb is suddenly available in the next monthish I'll respond to this comment - but maybe I'm just noticing trends that don't exist.

Cost, yeah I was thinking about that. Lobster is pretty readily available at other locations nearby (ish),. Same can be said for lamb and goose. Same distribution center just dropping it off at a different store.

These are things I can buy with only a little travel it's just now they are immediately available as soon as I talk about it.

Not me specifically - generally where you are and what you're taking about (phone location and general conversation).

I don't think anyone specifically is actually listening to me. I think it's automated marketing gone wild.

sacrifices had to be made when turning the country ~100º counter clockwise to get that sweet inland sea between them and Spain

I had a roof leak about 5 years ago that cause a lot of damage in one of the bedrooms. I fixed the leak but it took a long time to save up to fix the room. Last month I finally had enough money to get it fixed.

On Sunday, tropical storm Hilary caused several roof leaks including over the same bedroom. The ceiling, wall and carpet that I just replaced is destroyed along with a good chunk of ceiling in the garage. I can tear out the drywall in the garage and leave it, but idk how I'm going to afford to fix the roof and the bedroom.

So my week started out with a lot of frustration.

I still think of doing things "Dick hard and retard strong". Offensive sure, but my former roommate used to always use it as 'doing something reckless and not thought out but with full intent full steam ahead regardless of consequences'.

Edit: not even regardless of consequences, consequences were never part of the equation

Oh man, I remember 7th Guest that game was so cool - a video game with live action cut scenes! That was the same genre as Rama (1996)

I got ID'd the other day to buy beer. I'm almost 40.

Guess that depends on who you ask. My boss LOVES DS9 over all but I'm more on VOY closely followed by TNG (except I think the first season is cringy). I also really like LD but I know with old school trekkies it's hit and miss - my mom is a big trekkie and can't stand it.

I get where OP is coming from overall, but that's kinda been Futurama's thing. Other places it's shoe horned in and lazy but that's been like half of Futurama's episodes (and the vast majority of South Park) since the beginning.

That being said, I do think the quality of TV has been going downhill for years and few things seem to really be original anymore.

Even if the officer gets fired there's nothing stopping him from applying for and getting a job in a different precinct.

FWIW I think impossible is closer in texture but further in taste. I'm pretty open to meat alternatives but something about Impossible just doesn't taste quite right to me (not bad, just off somehow).

But that's just me, I can't hate on what others prefer since neither are actually bad imho

it's just easier to say "mostly vegan."

I dated a girl who really didn't care for meat or cheese and was 98% vegan. Her mom was/is a militant vegan, so growing up she just never developed a taste for meat or dairy. She had no problem eating it, but it was far from her go to - the best steak in the world would have been 'meh' to her cause it's wasn't her jam.

I get what you're saying tho. If I understand right, a flexitarian is a vegetarian/vegan by preferred diet but not unwaveringly.

Not to sound like an asshole, but tf is a flexitarian? I personally mostly eat veggies but meat isn't off the table, I think of myself as an omnivore. Am I missing something?

Also, Beyond is my favorite veggie-meat - it's close enough but not quite spot on. Impossible doesn't taste quite right to me but I can't put my finger on why.

I posted this elsewhere, but according to a quick Google it's up to $18k per tree and from the images I found, it's 5 trees. $90k is couch cushion money to Universal. They DGAF about fines.

I wonder if it's the point so much as an 'unfortunate' byproduct. I think it's more of a take a win at any cost because "fuck the libs"

Depends on the use case. I used to make websites (~10 years ago) and someone wanted an image scroller and I knew for a fact someone else would want the same thing but with a different number of images showing and maybe instead of clicking next it shows the next image it shows the next 3 images etc. We had piles of very specific scrolling scripts that weren't flexible and were hard to bring to another site. I spent a bunch of my own time making a single script that could cover most cases and it ended up saving a ton of time and became the go-to script for everyone.

Eventually someone else came in and upgraded the script and made it better before making it a core script. Now with a couple HTML classes (and a little CSS) anything can be a scroller. Options can be changed with a few data attributes.

Sometimes it's worth it sometimes it's not. I've had things so specific that I coded it like I was robbing a liquor store (get in and out as fast as possible).
