One of my favorite items is, Trader Joe’s kringle. It is a wisconson pastry that is usually seasonal. They fly it in from one bakery. There are several different flavors. My favorite is the pumpkin one during fall.

Also good are, the Zhong sauce, the Double dipped chocolate biscotte, the habanero potato chips, the frozen french green beans, finally the Shawarma Chicken Thighs.

This will sound a little mundane but, FLASHLIGHTS! Particularly bicycle head lights. The prices before LED’s were just STUPID. Hundreds of dollars for small amounts of light (which to be fair was the best you could get at the moment). Which were being used for night mountain biking. But all I needed was to get to and from work safely at night, I didnt have $400 for a headlight that would actually let me see the ground in front of me.

BUT, then came the revolution. China started putting out these LED lights that blew everything else out of the water … FOR CHEAP! In two years light prices went from $400 to $100 for top of the line lighting. US bike light companies were a year or two out before they could re-tool to match the lumens coming out of china. Mind you, the Chinese lights were not always the most reliable. BUT they were 1/4th the cost of a name brand light. So even if it died, you could still buy ANOTHER one for less than the price of a high end name brand light.

And since the LED revolution, things have not changed much. Prices either go down or stay the same and the lumens increase OR the burn time increases. Its just a win win for customers/consumers.

Why not just read the AP’s front page or Reuters? They are about as unbiased as your going to get. There’s also BBC and PBS.

No lie though, I miss Reddit.

While this is technically a free game, fanatical wants you to link your steam account. So if you don’t feel like giving Fanatical all your steam info, whatever they are asking for, then you cant have it. Oh and they also want you to subscribe to their newsletter. Annoying.

Just a FYI, air popping does not have the PFAS that microwave popcorn does. Yay for content, on Lemmy!

Also, I will never eat another bag of microwave popcorn!

Listen here youngster. You are doing just fine. You are here, you are finding threads. You will get the hang of it. It’s the internet it grows and changes. Hopefully for the better.

I would say you are doing a lot better than struggling! I hope you find more interesting threads!

I know little about modern progressive music, but if were talking classics … King Crimson’s self entitled album cover is also iconic!

Death Stranding, got it free off of Epic. I know people either love it or hate it. I definitely love it! I’ll probably finish it which is definitely a rarity for me and video games!
