  1. The new Mac OS, Sonoma, introduces facetime reactions into video calls of other services (google meet, zoom, etc). These reactions can not only be triggered with a click, but can ALSO be triggered by making certain hand gestures on video. This is a cool use of video technology, unless you are unaware of it and in the midst of a particularly dour discussion you subconsciously/unintentionally make a "V" sign with your hand which then automatically triggers FUCKING BALLOONS to show up on your video for the other participants to see. FUCK.
  2. what did you mean when you wrote, [reads from the pad] "Bad clown making like super American car racers, I would make them sweat. War, war!"?
  3. Man, I feel this. At the start of COVID our neighborhood (~125 families) thought it would be cool to invite a different food truck once a week as a win/win. At first, it went incredibly well. Everyone felt good about spending money with them (and they were truly, openly grateful), while also getting a nice quality meal for our families. After a while, though, the demand dried up and the organizer started pleading with the neighborhood to start showing up or the trucks would no longer bother coming to us. A reasonable outcome that frankly was probably warranted. The reason we stopped going was the prices stayed "questionably" high even as COVID wained while the food seemed to lose it's uniqueness and edge. At some point, I was just paying people a premium to throw together a burger that wasn't really any different than I could have whipped up with minimal effort or just gone to any local restaurant and at least had some service come with that price tag. And, yeah, the tip is weird. Really any time I'm tipping the *owner* of the business seems off to me.

  7. The current moniker is LGBTQIA+ Marketing is not their sweet spot it would seem

  9. They also put refried beans in the same place. Pretty sure we were doing Taco Tuesday in 1980 in Houston.
  10. Slams and goes hard. Ice cream finger food with a chew. 8.5/10
  11. I thought 0% chance they’d have that at my store in Florida (they put tortillas in the “ethnic food aisle”) but sure enough… https://www.publix.com/pd/mymochi-ice-cream-strawberry/RIO-PCI-544681 I’ll give it a try!
  12. I had to google to even see what it was … and I’m still not sure?
