15 is affordable by me. Highest I've seen is $33 for a 4 pack. Might as well just go out to a bar at that point.

Some of them feel like they are almost worth the expense. Founders makes some amazing beer of all varieties, and the Goose Island Bourbon County stouts are all phenomenal... But then there's shit like Southern Tier trying to sell yet another stupid twist on a flavor nobody has ever done for $5 more than last year's variety. It's just pointless to engage in it now. Better off enjoying cheap wine.

The culture around beer shifted from cheap low alcohol content drinks with little variation, to more expensive high alcohol content drinks with a ton of variation. Then, as with anything that hits a "trend", the market tries to capitalize on it beyond what demand actually cares to express, and prices go so far through the roof that nobody gives a shit anymore.

Nobody that was already drinking cares about the health issues (or at least they didn't just suddenly change out of the blue). They just got a taste for something that gradually got priced out. If you got your taste for beers on fancy 10%ABV stouts that now cost $7 a can/bottle, you aren't going to just buy whatever is now in your price range. You just stop buying beer, and get other shit.

I doubt it more due to the frequency of guinea pig shits. Unless they've been genetically modified since my childhood to poop less often, I could not envision a world where that keyboard does not have crap under the keys after the first response.

While I respect the intent, I do think that you probably need to consider the reasoning as well. Putting black and white morality over actions isn't necessarily correct either.

Poking fun at someone who is objectively evil over their appearance is "something" that an average person can do that might actually affect the person in question. It might not do anything, but it's sure as hell more appropriate and effective than trying to point out the issue with their moral stance. You can't always make a difference through peaceful or indirect means.

I think it's important to point out that body shaming someone who isn't a bad person is wrong, but it is also important to point out that for most people our words are our only recourse. You can insult a terrible person for one thing, while ignoring or praising the same trait in someone who is good.

Maybe it should be though

Well my dreams last night were about a group of people that were having a competition in a barber shop to see who could cut out holes from the skin on the top of their heads without looking at how deep the incisions were and without any anesthetic...

So honestly - not looking at my phone is really the most reasonable part of the majority of my dreams.

Given that most of the temperature differential is due to heat transfer, it's really almost completely irrelevant. A refrigerator doesn't generate cold. It moves heat out and insulates. The only actual "gain" would be from the residual heat generated by the inefficiency of the electrical components. You'd probably negate any benefits just by opening the door to the house to get the ice.

Their solution to a problem is to pretend like it doesn't exist simply because it will go away in the future? It's a reason, but it isn't a good one.

Gnome does some questionable things, and some are just personal preference, but there is at least one thing that they do that makes zero sense regardless of how you use your system...

The AppIndicator extension SHOULD be default. There is no reason for it to be an extension other than pure stubbornness. There are applications that literally require it in order to function at all.

"Creativity" was actually just a poor translation. What they meant to say was "enhanced legal department". Easy mistake.

It's Teams and/or the Office 365 interface. Because everyone just loved teams 😐
