First-World Problems...

What is it with mints? Restaurants have them, airport lounges push them (bad breath is an issue in airports?), and now holster manufacturers?

This is weird. I don't like mints, so I don't grab a handful at every opportunity, but someone does, so they collect in the house until I toss them in the trash.

I don't see people eating them though, so is it some sort of strange fetish? Take a mint and it will protect you from the evil humors?

Man oh man...people are wacko.

Hopefully Misanthropic Humanitarian and San Franpsycho will approve of the following… off topic but I wanted to announce that two other ex 70s college rafio DJs and I are helping to create Frisco Roadhouse - https://live365.com/station/Frisco-Roadhouse-a98590 - a free to listen internet radio station, devoted to classic and deep cut tracks reminiscent of the very best of 70s AOR and college radio, along with interviews of up and coming rock oriented artists, both local and national. We are currently transmitting an ever expanding galaxy of tracks on autoplay for your aural pleasure - with programming soon to come of shows reflecting the very best musical genres, both old and selectively new … imagine the 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond, in the spirit of Laurel Canyon, CBGBs, Whiskey a Go Go, Austin City Limits, Royal Albert Hall, the Cavern Club. Frisco Roadhouse will showcase the best from the Classic Artists, those you know and some you don’t, along with the local up and comers. Interviews of the players that rocked your Sox back in the day along with talking to the new young guns who are keeping the flame alive.

44 Is this about mints or is this about grabbing free stuff?

Because getting your name distributed around that way is well-know marketing technique.

But grabbing free stuff because it's free is purely social/cultural. "Free tastes better." For some people its a thrill of the hunt, they feel like they have won a contest or are now "one-up."

Sometimes its a form of kleptomania.

In China they are called "grab hags" because anything free for the taking will be taken in any possible quantity.

In a high trust society you take enough toilet paper to wipe yourself. In a low trust society you steal all the toilet paper rolls that are in the bathroom and not already stolen.

48 I actually have a FWP to report.
Starter died on 2007 Frontier, thought it was the battery, replaced it, no joy.
12v is getting to the starter connector, hmm... starter solenoid or starter; but, they are attached on this model starter.
Hunt AutoZone and Amazon, they both recommend the same model. AutoZone has it in stock, go pick it up.
I get home and compare it to the removed one, nope, that's not going to work.
Recheck Amazon, AutoZone, and a number of other sites: all recommend the same *wrong* unit. WTF.
Put in 2004 instead of 2007, that looks like what I want.
Autozone has it in stock too! Yea! Go pack return the 1st one. The sales guy checks the numbers on the removed unit, the 3rd one checked gets a hit and it is 40 buck less than the wrong unit.
Put it in (deleted knuckle busting) and it starts really easily.
Yea, FWP solved after multiple trips to AutoZone.

I was charging a bottle with CO2 and the bottom blew out explosively and spewed 1 liter of water all over me and the utility room. (Husband saw me later and said, "Wet t-shirt contest?") Didn't blow up the machine itself but rendered it inoperative. Fortunately no injuries.

My bank used to have chocolate-covered soft mints before the COVID stupidity, but they used the excuse to get rid of all candy.

Those chocolate covered soft mints were fantastic, though. They weren't anything fancy, and I'm sure they're some promotional product because it didn't have any information on it other than the bank logo. The mint/chocolate proportions were almost perfect, though.

We’re not profiting from this, but the underlying platform is paid via such. We’re just putting in the hours to upload the tracks, host shows, and, through a lifetime of contacts, interview those folks you’d love to hear from.

Dry lake beds are filled with very fine silt until it gets wet it hard as the ex-wife's heart and then add water and you get a sticky morass.

Climate change makes everything the opposite, or a more extreme normal.

Desert either gets drier or wetter. Hotter or colder.
Northern winters are warmer, or colder. Much snowier of less snowier.

Whatever deviation from average- is climate change.

206 Just got here and I see that the Galco mints comments have already been done. So here's my FWP or maybe just OF(old fart)P. Why can't fast food places that sell milk shakes stock milk shake straws? Instead they give you a regular drink straw that's maybe 1/4" diameter and you have to wait for the shake to mostly melt before you can drink it. Not even to mention that fast food milk shakes aren't really milk shakes; they're just soft-serve ice cream served in a drink cup.

214 "collisions with rebar" is a dodgy way to say "impalings by falling on improvised tent stakes." "CWR" leaves open the possibility that it is the rebar in motion, not the gouged. Can't find a ten-code for CWR, so I'll nominate 10-471, or as local LE calls it: "hippie on a stick."

215 {141} ... Well, I am using Brave, that has a native adblocker. But for streaming audio, if the ad is audio, how can a blocker make the distinction?

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 03, 2023 03:00 PM (mjUwN)

If it's the same actual stream, hosted on the same domain, it can't, but often they're switching between streams inside the code of the web page. One has the advertisement, the other has the actual content. If the advertising one is blocked or can't resolve, it'll just jump to playing the main content.

I can't speak to how Brave's ad-blocker works, but I know in my configuration I was able to just approve the 3 domains I spoke of, and I jumped straight into the music, no adverts at all.

I also use Privacy Badger, Canvas Blocker, and I have my own DNS server that resolves many malware and/or advertising domains to 127.0.0.1.

217 "What we need is some common sense rebar"

Bending the top of the rebar stake into an inverted J shape does help prevent impalings but makes them much harder to hammer in.
