I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
I mean the other 2 countries, Canada and Mexico, how similar are both of them to United States?? Both countries have a similar economy and democracy etc, and I think those two countries share things like supermarkets, stores, etc. I suppose the cultural differences are not a lot, that is very nice.
You can almost literally drive from Paris to Moscow and back in the same distance as it takes to get from Los Angeles to New York. You think it’s impossible for a country as large as the United States to have unique subcultures?
Of course you’re right, because the US was entirely vacant before a single unified culture simultaneously migrated to all corners of its borders. Weirdly enough, that happened after the advent of trains, cars, planes, the internet, etc. so there was no opportunity for pockets of subculture to develop.
Totally negates my point! I should have thought of that. Embarrassing.
Im curious as I usually use the site very occasionally to get certain electronic parts or order from PCBway like I just picked up some cheap but infinitely better than stock gps antennas for my LoRa T beams and im about to get a set of also still cheap but much better than stock 915mhz antennas but i kinda wanna throw some other...
You ever see a dog that’s got its leash tangled the long way round a table leg, and it just cannot grasp what the problem is or how to fix it? It can see all the components laid out in front of it, but it’s never going to make the connection....
It’s not wild. Do the CD ladder or a high APY savings account and consider any loss of growth an insurance payment for not losing half in a market downturn.
It’s especially not a big deal if you have assets beyond what is set aside for your down payment.
You’d think this would give us some wiggle money to play with to build out new energy infrastructure. You’re wrong though, there is no wiggle. We need all renewables like Germany....
Aren’t they ahead of many other developed nations? Just because they’re not perfect or their journey isn’t complete doesn’t mean their progress isn’t worth taking inspiration from.
Which Samsung sets are you using? Some TVs look horrible with HDR whereas some look amazing. Since buying an LG CX I’ve been spoiled and desperate for more HDR content.
Those aren’t the best of the best but HDR should still look significantly better than SDR content.
Have you tried checking your settings to make sure things are configured correctly? Or maybe try using some of the smart tv apps and comparing HDR content on them vs content coming from an external device?
Just found the thread on the Samsung forums you got those pictures from haha. I don’t know why your issue frustrates me so much but it does! Determined to solve this.
I have a Soylent Cafe most mornings on the way into work. It serves both as my first cup of coffee and also a 400 calorie breakfast. It’s $3/bottle which is more expensive than making food at home but I don’t have the time to prepare a meal before leaving for the day anyway. It’s also much cheaper and healthier than stopping or going through a drive thru.
My biggest concern is the amount of plastic as 3-4 bottles per week feels very irresponsible.
The flavor is pretty good but I miss the original Cafe Vanilla variety. That was really good.
I really should try that again. I had some of the original formulations of the powder but it REALLY didn’t agree with me, both in flavor, texture and what it did to my stomach.

That’s a pretty big leap to go from “most Asians are lactose intolerant” to “they’re bred different”.
I get what you’re saying, and mostly agree. But “they’re bred different” implies some sort of sub-human deliberate motive beyond just a consequence of a population living in isolation for centuries.

What are your "poor person" money life hacks?
Let’s get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.
