Re: Little Rants
Make the black and white 1980s photos on Facebook stop! Color photos were the norm back then! I'm not that old! I have good grip strength and everything!

I'm glad Shecky Greene outlived Gilbert Gottfried.

Re: The food and drink thread
I know the bag ruins the photo a little, but here's a whole wheat and oat bread I baked (red whole wheat and rolled oats), recipe adapted from Google's chatbot Bard, I had to add extra flour and was still too sticky to kneed normally so instead of adding even more I folded it with a scraper. Then I ...

Re: Fun purchases
The grip tester came. I'm satisfied with my results but I have to keep playing with different handle spacing. I adjusted it for larger than average hands because I'm an adult white guy but I have to try less spacing. I was so close to making the "strong" (above average) category for my age that I kn...

Re: Little Rants
So many complexities with Amazon. I ordered something, then when it was late I checked the listing again and noticed that a certain distance under the price it said "new and used (9)." I could have saved $20 on something with no defects but with no manufacturer's box. Then I noticed, under yet more ...

Re: Fun purchases
Does anyone else feel that it would be more comfortable if their mouse was closer? I never used my number pad and for years I've wanted a keyboard without one but they were about $100. Recently I found a bunch that were much cheaper. I just bought this keyboard and mouse for $20. Same thing happened...

Re: Science Microthreads
I get the impression that when Quantum computers arrive, there will be a flurry of arrests when we break encryption that's no longer effective, then we won't be able to break anything and all hell will break loose. I recently read about how nefarious groups and the US and China are harvesting encryp...

Re: Post Your Dream
I was looking at The Joker and telling someone that he actually was in Star Trek acting with William Shatner. It seemed funny but I believed it was true. I thought about it when I woke up and thinking of William Shatner acting with The Joker kind of gives me the same vibe as Adam West acting with Th...

Re: The food and drink thread
I had a slice of rainbow cake from a pizzeria and I got to see the box the whole cake came in. It said Italian rainbow cake and had nice graphics. I Couldn't find it online. It was round with three layers, red, white and green. I was looking forward to reading the ingredients and nutrition info. I w...

Re: What's going on in your city/country/region?
I just heard an actual emergency alert from the emergency alert system. Not a test. The Lehigh Valley river may flood. I don't remember ever hearing an actual emergency alert in my over 50 years in NY, then I'm in PA for a couple of months and I hear one. Maybe there was one for 911 but I didn't hea...
