As someone that shopped at both, but preferred Circuit City, I think Best Buy initially did a better job of “wowing” customers and had a better store layout. They also were better at trying to squeeze money out of people and thus were more profitable than Circuit City, so when times got leaner they survived and then had the whole market.

I did that with buying “one-a-day” vitamins for seniors because they were a quarter the price of standard men’s vitamins. I checked the stats and ingredients, they were about identical and from the same brand.

Even in the unlikely event that Elon did get a colony going on Mars, he’d be like Cohaagen from Total Recall, but worse.

My friend cross stitched a QR code as a tree ornament and gave it to me for Christmas. It worked, and it sent me to a ridiculous meme video. I admire his dedication to the joke.

Depends on the spider. When I briefly lived in AZ we had a problem with tarantulas ending up on top of our cars if we left the light on outside during the night. I knocked off off the car roof and it literally splattered. I felt bad, I assumed they would be fine.

I feel like this error message was targeted at a very specific, very annoying user that can’t be ignored.

Thanks, so it is probably hit and miss on that feature, but I’d also probably rarely use it. I still might pick this up as it looks very cool.

I used to use Mortplayer on Android for years which played FLACs and used folders well. I don’t know the current state of the app, but it might be worth looking into.

Ok, wait, so this thing also works as an actual cassette? That’s so hilariously awesome I might get it purely for that gimmick.

Perhaps so, I don’t have the data to verify other than the recession which was at the very start of 80s and certainly didn’t define the next 20 years. That wasn’t what I commented about. I think the music and movies were awesome, not awful at all.

You twice misspelled the word “awesome”,. It happens all the time sadly. I bet AI filled it in for you.

I was in the same place experiencing the same thing, hell we probably ended up working together doing trivial jobs surrounded by people grossly overqualified. Things did end up better eventually for me, sorry to hear it didn’t for you. We got the short end of the stick there for sure.

Don’t be unnerved by our superior life experience!

As both and American and a lover of Belgian ales, I’d be inclined to agree that we almost certainly don’t have better beer than you (or I) would prefer. We do have some excellent beer, but the focus is on other styles.

Yes, I got my kid one the other day.

We definitely called them “push pops” when I was a kid, but I imagine it varied regionally.

I know a guy that did exactly this. I am living vicariously through him.

There were clearly some questionable recycling methods for used toilet paper rolls back in the day, but don’t worry, the sweet orange flavor covered up the after taste.

It worked as of six months ago, but it is possible that was patched in this recent “fix”.

The W11 installer sadly doesn’t allow that anymore with the current versions. If you have that older installer, keep it safely archived.
