I have a hard time with Road Guy Rob's style, but that's a great video. Thanks.

I think you misinterpreted my original comment, but I applaud your diligence in sampling the entire Tastykake product line. The pies are my favorite, though I rarely eat them as I value my health. I would not touch a Twinkie unless I were s

It is true. The shelf life of those Tastykakes is three weeks. A Twinkie's is six. The shelf life of a Tastykake pie is seven days. They haven't changed much or at all since I was a kid. Have you tried a Tastykake (and a Twinkie)?

Yes, and it's clear European governments are just catching up to the sentiment of European people.

It's fun to think about what Minitel might have become if it had been born when today's Leopards Eating People's Faces Party had been in power, rather than the early 80's when Silicon Valley was dunking on everybody. It

I remember a conversation I had with my uncle before the 2024 election during which I told him Donald Trump's leadership would result in a no-less-disastrous American version of Brexit, if he were somehow elected a second time. My uncl

True, I imagine the Twinkie Pavlovian response is a tough one to shake.

If you stretch the definition of a "city" to include its suburbs, sure, but that's outside the context of TFA. There are no Walmarts in Syracuse, for example. There's one nearby, but not in the city. Adding solar to subu

The more you subsidize automotive infrastructure, the more public transport will suffer for it.

Tastykakes[1] are about the same price as Twinkies but have half the shelf life (or less, depending on the product) due to fewer preservatives and better ingredients. They don't have the distribution that Twinkies have, but it's g

Termux is the best of Android and sadly there's nothing like it on iOS. I'd ditch my Pixel today for the iPhone that's sitting on my desk collecting dust if there were.

I like to imagine it's the same neurological phenomenon as Mal de débarquement syndrome[1], but as a result of spending too much time on one's phone, rather than choppy waters. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

These exist all over in the U.S. There are easily hundreds in my area, though I only frequent a dozen or so.

Possible but more likely it's an issue with focus, like the user's palm on those occasions coincidentally brushes the trackpad. To be clear, I have no doubt Windows 11 is just as awful as GP makes it out to be. I'm luckily fr

The first two Mini Cooper generations had serious problems, but the newer ones (~2014 onward) are very good. This report only covers recent cars.

I'd like to get a little pedantic here and suggest it's not reading the news that's so problematic, it's 1) watching it, and 2) scrolling it. Not that print can't be effective propaganda, but it's less optimize

GP hinted at that if you read the rest of their comment, but it took a serious nose-dive during the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan, and kinda petered out with Franco.

It sounds like he touched a nerve but I don't think the comment to which you replied was suggesting it's everyone's duty to follow American politics, and complaining that we're egomaniacs because we discuss such topics h

College is a good alternative. I go to one of my almae matres' games every year. To me, it's way more fun than NFL for a fraction of the price. I agree NFL is best at home. Hopefully OTA broadcasts remain a thing for a long time t

Soccer fans also miss out on an hour of commercials each game (it's easy to skip the ones at halftime).

The live-action PBS idents from the early 90's were some of the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ap_JRofNMs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJpiIyBkUZ4 This mini doc shows the process: https:&#x

The video (~13m) was posted after those discussions, but it's an excellent local news report and features several charming interviews from inside the lab at the University of Utah.

I assume you mean people who have immigrated from the Netherlands to the U.S. in the past year? It'd be interesting to hear their thoughts, for sure. I don't think the data is available yet, but I expect those numbers are sharply

Have you ever ridden a bike over a canal? The ad was pushed in front of a lot of people who have. I thought it was creepy throughout, but I can't believe they used that clip up front.
