Even converting them to raw calories, potatoes are pretty great. A whole-ass baked potato (without toppings) is less than a lot of kinds of normal candy bars, and way, way more filling. The trick is to not drown it in butter, cheese, and sour cream if you want a healthy meal.

Oh whaaaat CEOs failed to understand a simple core problem for their companyyy~? OMG I’m so shocked I need to sit down…

For one event. One event cropped up a lot. That does not a trend make.

Never seen it for deodorant and I’ve lived in the US for decades.

lol people talk about it so it must be some true conspiracy? That’s uh… some bold logic there…

lol I’ve understood the issue. The original post is not exactly nuanced. I’m sorry you feel so offended by my opinion that people who do not understand what a community of questions and answers should look like should not be welcome to people who understand what publicly answered questions should look like, but you do you.

Who is downvoting a post based on what’s not in the post title or body? Besides, there are far more downvotes now than when I made my original comment, so it’s clearly not people being fooled by previous, now removed comments.

Also, I said or. It’s Either they’re against a community of answering questions openly, or have the reading comprehension of a potato…

Eh… IMO there’s a big difference between disagreeing about something reasonable, and disagreeing about the most basic tenets of what makes a community a community.

Kinda’ just making room for the sort of hypocritical ilk that ruin so many things. I can think of so many political and religious examples these days but I’ll refrain from fully describing such depressing things.

You can be right and not angry.

In my defense it was 720i for a good while for tv signals ;P Also different aspect ratios than a lot of even excellent CRTs.

You are correct: Most humans have not matured past the age of 15, if online discourse is anything to go by.

What?! Was I so privileged to have a 720p CRT at the time? (ok well not literally 720p, but a higher resolution 4:3… 800x600)

… actually remembering it, it was probably well after 1998, but I have plenty of memories going, “mmmm, 800x600”. maybe even more at 1024x768.

I only really started to understand what it all meant and how neat better resolution was with Unreal Tournament, so… definitely post 1999

You make it sound easy, but tone plays a HUGE role. “Do you need a break?” sounds waaay different than, “You need to tell me why you’re ignoring me” (using different words because such subtle tone is nigh impossible to convey in text for the likes of me)

Asking is very much NOT “free” depending on how it is asked.

We NEED to eat the rich. It’s getting close to a necessary survival response by now… (lol as if global warming will be deigning many ‘winners’ as is…)

Ditto, and it’s been great.

lol maybe if you’re a pleb.

As someone who rocked a rain head … yeah totally. I also still had a ‘normal’ shower head on an adjustable flow valve. lol

… though the pure rain head wouldn’t have been too terrible. My hair is like 90% of what takes direct flow to clean. Asscracks etc aren’t ‘that’ bad to wash via finding the right posture and waiting a few moments for enough water to find its target.

… I am fully willing to admit my opinion may change drastically in 30 years when even a leaned over posture becomes a PITA.

Oh come on, “commander”, those shower heads are OBVIOUSLY way, way less pressure than a firehose… You can see every single one arcing significantly within a couple feet!
