I think the concept is that the US produces significant amounts of rice and beans. Most of our corn goes to feed.

If we give up meat we could probably produce enough rice corn and beans to feed the US, but shortages and greed along the way will definitely drive the price up to unmanageable highs.

In southern climates it's not that hard to tend an acre garden, But it certainly not convenient or time efficient, and anybody who's not familiar is not going to be able to manage.

I've done hydroponic tomatoes and greens, I don't think I could feed a family of four out of my basement but I could definitely put a big dent in starvation.

It’s only difficult when you’re first figuring it out. Once you do, it’s not a big deal.

I've been using Photoshop and Gimp a lot over the last decade. There are a few things I like better in Photoshop and nothing I really like more in Gimp, but they're both absolutely serviceable.

I wish content-aware patch came by default in Gimp and I wish Gimp had more user-friendly macroing, but if I'm drawing circles in my photo editor, my first thought is why the hell am I not using a vector editor.

All these CEO's are getting cold calls from OpenAI, sitting through a 30 minute high pressure sales pitch that tells them they can do 3x the work with 1/3 the staff for a small monthly fee that scales with work done and they're all slobbering to buy it.

I don't care for a lot of their design choices. I don't mind their mouse other than the price and the charger being on the damned bottom.

I don't mind the V1 that took a AA battery. That and turn on right-click.

It's still not the most comfortable thing int he world, but it's at least on par with stuff like the logitech pebble.

While I would love to be inducted into proper healthcare and the loving embrace of our northern brothers, are you sure you can swallow all that red and not just end up with diarrhea?

My mother was 100 lbs soaking wet, but MAN could she eat. There was a steamed shrimp buffet on the other side of the city.

Family rules: We were there for shrimp, if you a little salad that's ok, but stay away from the bread and the desserts, you can get those anywhere. You'd best eat at least three plates full

We'd eat and eat and eat and eat, then take a little break, then eat some more. Mom was skinny; dad was normal-sized, and I was a little chubby. OMG did we put away some shrimp.

Porque no los dos. There were a lot of people shopping there on autopilot. That whole Target run thing was real, you walk in get your prescription need to wait around for 30 minutes go through housewares realize you needed some chips, buy some stuff to make for dinner, now you're walking out of there with a $300 receipt.

They're going to have a hard time re-engaging those people.

If the product can't exist without advertisement does it deserve to?

 

I can remember the quote and voicing but no other details, can't place the episode

Something about flying around things trying to get somewhere

Professor gestures wildly with his hands left rightleft : "WooooWOoooWoooooo ... SAFE"

 

I just tooled around on sites for the top-ranked Futurama episodes, and no two media outlets even had similar lists. I was wondering what it would look like with a small group of diehard fans here.

Once the votes stop coming in, (assuming they start) I'll tabulate the results.

Just give up to 5 episodes in a comment and we'll see if any of the different outlets got it right.

**Update: **

8 Voters

25 Candidates

Assuming everyone's #1 is their best choice candidate and they decrease in order:

In a Ranked Choice Vote Single-Winner and Dual-Winner scenario, it takes 4 rounds and "Devils' Hands" takes first place. Luck of the Fryish takes second place with two.

I tried to recalculate it RCV style for a list of 3,4,5, but we don't have enough votes to make it work.

In other voting calculations:

Jurassic (4), Godfellas(3), and Devils' hands(3) won with the most overall votes.

Jurassic Bark won with the highest number of top votes after 2 rounds.
