Or because here in the US, pasta is served by the wheelbarrow load at crappy “Italian” restaurants, and soaked in either butter sauce, meat sauce or both. Pizza has gotten so cheesy that you have to ask for light cheese to get what they used to put on it when I was a kid.

Disney tickets are fucking expensive too. It’s like $150 a day most months, so if they still come, they aren’t going as many days (if at all).

Idiocracy has been far too prescient. I just hope we can survive long enough to get to the listening to the last remaining expert stage.

These guys are the ones who went to burning man when they were young and it was cool, but kept going, got old, and ruined it for the next generations.

Makes me sad as a member of the Oregon Gen who missed the heydays of that kind of stuff, but read all about it as it was in its prime.

Oh, my bad, it is May. I hope just his show going off the air helps drive enough attention to whatever he does next.

At least there’s a decent amount of time for his team to plan a new project, or leave the US or whatever.

Prices are printed on packaging for many things too, books, magazines, bags of potatoe chips.

So then stores would have to cover the manufacturer price with a higher one just in their store. Which is a waste of time and material if you can just condition a population to ignore the price jump at the register.

He’s done in March 2026 though.

Also Colbert has a big staff. YouTube doesn’t pay what CBS was paying all those people.

Also, they aren’t plated, and so can’t be ticketed by speed cameras like a car can.

They look related. Closely, like inbred close.

He’d only show up when it mattered and leave a peon to do any actual work. Probably Steven Miller.

Novemugust is what I’ve been feeling since last November.

Must be nice living somewhere dry. I’d just end up with a moldy table a day later.

Tech ingredients did a test with active cooling on standard solar panels and found the energy to cool it was about what was gained by having a cooler panel.

The upshot should be longer life if the panel though, so the conclusion was still a net gain.

For real, “soaking” while the other “abstinent” couple jumps on the bed to bounce them around is a good one. Mormons and promise ring culture is so fucked though.

Just gotta make sure they aren’t already full of microplastics.
