I didn't say it wasn't American, I said it's not American to eat it. No American has ever purchased, much less consumed grape nuts. They don't even put the product in the boxes anymore. Just some led shot and asbestos to give it weight and they change out the box design every once in a while. They've been doing this since the 80s, it has to remain on the shelves to satisfy the terms of a demonic contract.

Before that, Grape Nuts was funded by the dentist lobby hoping to cash in on all those broken teeth. But nobody ever bought any and the dentists gave up.

The owner of the Brave browser is known to have right-wing political beliefs. Some people don't think it's ethical to use the browser because of this, instead of not using Brave because it sucks.

You can't copyright AI generated text, video, or images.

However, the courts may be flexible in the future with content that has significant human input. However that gets defined.

I see that the greedy capitalists have also stolen my third fucking comma.

Framing WWII as "good-guy/ bad-guy" betrays the staggering naiveté of a History Channel graduate. But this was a long time ago, he's probably moved on to the Fall of Rome by now.

If you look closely at the back of the chair you'll see why even FOBITTS flying drones have a 25% casualty rate.

I've always wanted to love Iron Maiden, but I just can't. It's the lyrical delivery, like Dickinson invented the opposite of "flow".

Obviously the band is GOAT when it comes to T-shirts.

Obviously this frat-boy shit is dumb, but if you had to figure out if someone was a real American or a spy, this would be an excellent way to do it.

Like if someone said "I eat musli" or "I like grape nuts" you could go ahead and shoot the spy.

“If I should die, think only this of me: that there’s some corner of a foreign field that is forever England,”

Even their poetry was imperial and expansionist. Oh well, at least this gives me some context for that Roger Waters song.

Yes, that's exactly how it works. It just seems normal because it's on Law and Order, but threatening people with prison is coercive.

The Proud Boys have an initiation ritual where new members are beaten by the group until they can recite the names of five different breakfast cereals.

I collect irony and lefty outlets putting criticism of American Journalism behind a paywall is delicious.

You're gonna have to explain how a public defender has the power to jail anyone. Prosecutors coerce people to take deals thousands of times every day. Not only is that legal, and normal, the system would collapse without it.

 
 
 

In recent events, I learned that some pagers only have receivers. How are discrete messages sent to these devices? How is it authenticated? How do they know the device got the message?

 
 
 
 

I have a recipe that calls for a dough to be autolysed (long bulk ferment while stretching and folding the dough). I'm fortunate to have access to a stand mixer. Is their any advantage to doing the autolyse? Should I just kneed it in the mixer to save time?

When Florida changed it's law to allow ex-felons to vote, I remember reading that the legislature put as many roadblocks as they could. Felons must complete all sentences, fines, and restitution before they can vote.

So any sentence or sanction that can't be fulfilled by November should exclude him from Florida's rolls, right?
