I've started getting these. Its a little odd. The latest one I received told me it shipped "2 camera and 1 kitchen item". The camera items were a baby monitor and a mount for the baby camera and the kitchen item were coffee filters. So I guess it's accurate but kind of a useless description.

You should try and stick with it. It is scary, but also a really great game.

Plus there's a musical number.

I'm not kidding.

It was clear that they bit off more than they could chew 10+ years ago. You'd have thought they'd bring in some leadership that could keep them aimed at a reasonable goal. They could've had something amazing.

Opus might want to sleep on the couch for a bit.

I probably would've noticed if they hadn't banned me two weeks ago for unspecified "actions taken by my account" less than a week after I resurrected a sub for parents/caregivers of kids with a rare disorder.

So... Good riddance I say.

That push happened in the US too around the same time, but it only focused on Chinese food. News outlets made a big fuss about it, yet rarely if ever pointed out how widely MSG was used in the US outside of Chinese food.

The claim was that MSG caused headaches based on research from the 70s and 80s, which has had mixed results in studies throughout the years and now has no strong link IIRC.

Either way its usage is personal preference, like any other spice or cooking method, and I wholeheartedly agree with your first point about subbing msg.

Aww a crosspost? But I wanted a peanut.

A shot of the rare NIMBY-saurus.

Wait, I'm confused. So did the cops know IA was setting them up?
