Eh, I do remember them being very worthwhile back in ye olden days. I remember my parents getting an amazing looking plasma TV back in maybe 2009-2010 era for south of $150 on a black friday deal, back when flat screens were still exorbitantly expensive in most cases. Same for computers and a lot of toys too.

Now it’s all like "we just raised our prices last week, now there’s 5% off WOWWEEE!

Not like black Friday sales have been worth shit since COVID anyway.

Carbureted? If so it’s probably a Rochester Quadrajet with vacuum secondaries that have fallen out of adjustment. When they fail they open too fast when you step on the gas, or even get stuck entirely open, and you get a “bog” or lean-out stall

I know a lot about Cadillacs of most generations including the TBI HT engines, DM me if you want help.

I put the ass in potassium.

I can’t even pronounce “gigantic” correctly half the time and even i was able to get this right on the second try.

Don’t forget the other option 3: they want regulation to pull the ladder up behind them so there can be no competition. The open models from China have already proven their ‘special’ technology can be easily improved upon.

I got Serious Sam and Pajama Sam confused in my head for a second

I was curious about this so I did a little historical lookup.

I can only ever find the modern “smooth 3d” Windows icon in any Windows XP image, screenshot, release event image, anything. XP has only ever used the modern 3d flag.

The last time Microsoft seemed to have used the square flag with tail Windows image was in Windows 2000 or ME, pre-XP launch.

I did find images of ME also using the 3d flag, but I can’t confirm they’re actually of original OE Microsoft branding. MS did still sell retail copies of 2000 and ME alongside XP for a short while, so it’s possible they updated the older OS branding (not that anyone wanted 2000 or ME at that point). But why would they backtrack XP’s branding??

I really have no clue where this XP image with the square flag is from, it’s either art someone created to backdate its design aesthetic or its an AI hallucination.

“don’t worry inflation is only 3% though”

I do love the induction stove at my gf’s house, but the issue with induction is you basically have to throw out 75% of your cookware and go get the special heavy-bottomed pans and pots for the heating to be effective and even. Most everything I have that’s decades old and salvaged from yard sales and the like does NOT work on induction like, at all.

Equal rights equal fights

Edit: before people might take this out of context, what I mean is that self defense should be a human right that exists independently of gender. Don’t matter if you’re male female trans nonbinary or whatever the fuck, the right to not have your shit fucked with is universal.

Most consumer single use batteries like that are alkaline chemistry these days, not acidic. You can still find the old carbon-zinc ones in really really cheap batteries but it’s not as common.

They’re super tasty either way

Or the work they are doing is so soul sucking they are turning to worldy vices?

He paid for the house to relax in, he’s gonna relax in it.

They will immediately bend over backwards and give government accounts special treatment to post anything they want, because billionaires are fascists. Big Tech’s TOS are made up rules that have no legal binding and have no requirements to be fair or applied evenly.

how hard is it to get one of each?

Harder than typing a prompt and that’s all that matters!

AI garbage slop. The castle nut is missing threads and the serrated flange has the serrations on the wrong side and the cage nut sheet metal is bent randomly. Shame on OP.
