Recently tried to get mine working (it’s been stowed away for a while) but it’s not reading discs at all anymore or even booting to the menu screen.
We used to have to do the turn it on it’s side trick but I think it was just stuck in a dark dank basement for too long. Kinda want to rip it apart and try to fix but we shall see.
People don’t realize that ultra processed food is basically everything they eat and drink. There are very few things that aren’t, and they’re mostly whole food adjacent.
If it’s not straight up water and plain vegetables, fruit, and grain equivalents, it’s more than likely ultra processed no matter how healthy it claims to be.
So much of non-genetic cancers comes from what we ingest willingly. A large portion of it would stop if everyone ate a well rounded whole foods diet. But shit is expensive, takes time and kwh to make, and people are busy trying to enjoy life.
Conventional Cereal? Terrible. https://www.livestrong.com/article/13774827-is-eating-cereal-every-day-bad/
Certain processed fiber gives you liver cancer Ffs lol.
To be honest a big part of this was that it was a quasi-loot game. You had to do the rpg type mechanic where you plugged a bunch of items together that you get dropped after playing and do a ton of items synthesis. It kept you playing for ages to try new unlocks.
I’m sure the game wasn’t balanced well for characters either but for the average little shitass it was great.
Wtf who doesn’t mention Power stone 2. Arguably the best pickup brawler game ever made and still holds that title.
Record of Lodoss and Evolution are also top tier.
Do the math yourself. The answer is there lol.
According to this it takes about 50 tons of PE granules to make about 40 Kilometers of clingfilm.

Moar plastic manufacturing. Thickness of 2/10,000 of an inch. Plastic is crazy cheap and efficient compared to other methods.

Plastic bags. Full roll is 348 lbs which makes 35,000 bags.

If you’re wondering about crude to plastic efficiency…
It takes about 0.4 gallons of crude oil to make one pound of plastic, which means that 11 million metric tons of plastic equates to approximately 9.7 trillion gallons of oil.

A nice copout answer from the US Government lol.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is unable to determine the specific amounts or origin of the feedstocks that are actually used to manufacture plastics in the United States.

This oil website even busts their chops on it lol.
This fact itself raises questions such as, “How many barrels of oil go into plastic packaging?” A question that is quite difficult to answer. The Energy Information Administration absolutely refuses to answer it, saying that it collects no data in this segment. Yet data from a few years ago, when the EIA still collected information about this, shows that in 2010 some 191 million barrels of LPG and NGL were used for the production of plastics along with 412 billion cu ft of natural gas. The liquids amount constituted about 2.7 percent of the country’s total petroleum consumption. Most of the natural gas used in plastics production was used as a fuel rather than feedstock.
Plastics production accounts for about 4 percent of global oil production. That’s according to figures for 2012, so now it may well be higher.
Some interesting glass to plastic energy efficiency info, not discounting their completely different use cases.
The total energy required to produce, package, and transport a 16 oz. PET container is 32 MJ compared to 34 MJ for a 16 oz. glass container – virtually the same. Producing a pound of plastic resin, however, uses nearly nine times the energy of producing a pound of glass. These comparisons assume the use of virgin glass.
My cock is lost in the jungle and it’s up to you to find it~~~ Oh Laura, no panties… You know I like it like that…
For those unaware how Health Insurance works in the states.
You can have health insurance all you want. Especially if this bill is recent, they will cover a large part of the cost, but most people are still on the hook for Usually between $1000-1500 of all healthcare before insurance REALLY kicks in. This is called the Deductible (and Out of Pocket) expense. You also pay a ‘Premium’, essentially a subscription cost that normally comes directly out of your paycheck.
For single coverage, just yourself, it’s about $1200. For family coverage, where your insurance covers everyone in your house, It’s usually double that. So ~$2,500-3,000.
So this person probably hasn’t had any bills yet this year. Once they pay about $1500 in costs, everything after that becomes (mostly) free. Depending on what you have, insurance will pay anywhere from only 80% - 100% of the cost from whatever the procedures and meds are.
Then funny part is that some places in America the cost is so high, this might be a situation where their insurance DID kick in already and their insurance is still making them pay that much. Or it’s a case where you get a bill for that much but your insurance hasn’t paid it yet… so it looks like you’re supposed to… so you do… then two months later you get a check for that amount.
It’s so. Damn. Silly. And I resent Republicans every day for it. That’s not even the Fascist MAGA Theocracy republicans. Just your stock standard ones lmfao.
Do not use free range pallets for anything that isn’t strictly decorative with lots of coating on it. Those things are treated to high heaven with loads of chemicals and you never know what they had on them.
Woods preservatives and methyl bromide are known carcinogens and they’re not even recommended to burn, let alone grow food in.

Eggs isn’t true. The only thing you’re buying is for sound of mind for ethically raised chickens and the orange color of the yolk specifically for things where you need that nice orange color.
Nutrients aren’t statistically significant. Taste has no difference. Especially if you aren’t eating them plain.
I’ve also never, never seen someone test positive on the first day of symptoms. Sometimes on the second, but almost always on the third.
The CDC bitching out to corporations by saying test on the first day so people can keep going to work sick is still insanity. I really wish they allowed people to throat swab since it’s supposed to be more effective, but I’m sure they’re worried about our litigious culture saying we’re trying to choke Republicans to death with microchips.
It is… Any change is adding to something. Whether that be through subtraction or addition. I get where you’re coming from and where the to add people come from… It’s just a silly addendum that was added post hoc because of silly populism. ETA is already established as estimated time of arrival. There’s no reason to also try to rethink a common acronym. Beyond that, there’s also no reason to signify what you added, or where. You can sure just use ETA to add anything directly after while leaving your OG comment the same, but nobody will know what you edited anyway unless it’s an instance that records that stuff.
I think it’s the same argument as debating whether nothing is something at the root.
Even then, it’s a superfluous addition when you have to specify okay I’ve only edited anything after this ETA when the definition means you could’ve added anything anywhere.
Edit in addition, edit after comment, any variation leads to the same issue. It’s just… So… Pointless.
It even takes more keystrokes! Whether you use capslock or shift for Edit: or ETA: l. E: Is just so much better.
Any of which is adding to the comment. Whether by adding a removal or adding lol.
Edit is synonymous with changed. It isn’t synonymous with… I dunno, remove or add.
ETA, but not the estimated time of arrival that everyone knows.
The ETA that Tumblr and XX chromosomes made popular that actually means Edited to add…
Rather than just Edit: or E:.
But it means I added something!.. Right… That’s literally the definition of edit… Blood is thicker than the water of the womb too right? Lmfao.
Spoken like a true Grammarly AI tool for all those extra words.
They’re practically useless if you’re going for nice prose and emphasis…
There are many kinds of airplanes!
There are sooooooo~ many kinds of airplanes! 🛬🛫 🛩️✈️
For the masses Dollar General is not a dollar store. That place blows.
Dollar Tree is the closest large chain that still adheres to cheap as fuck goods but the quality is super shit as expected often with quantity reduced to essentially match regular goods when bought in bulk anyway.
Family Dollar next best with discounts but not great.
Dollar General is often more expensive than regular stores.
Huh, I’ve never had any problems going bottom of the barrel on anything PC related besides micro SD cards for home security and dashcams.
Most power supplies that aren’t just ripped out of some unknown piece of tech are great these days too.
How dare you talk shit about Jacks.
Never had problems with tombstones either but Hy-Vee has a nice inhouse pizza for $5. A bit heavy on the 4meats though.
whether they did it on purpose, or noticed and didn’t fix it, or most likely never gave enough of a shit to even try in the first place.
That’s about as succinct as it gets when describing these types. I’ll need to remember it.
Funnily enough this is exactly how people think including our house.
I took mine down when Roe v Wade was overturned and the Progress Pride flag went up. I had been considering putting the American Flag back up recently if Democrats start winning again.
People from every country like to pretend that patriotism isn’t a natural part of living but will stick their heads so far up their own asses when talking up all their food, culture, teams, or any other number of arbitrary things.
And while there has been some divergence in Patriotism vs Nationalism, they’re essentially the same damn thing but with better connotations for one now lol.
