You could also do (lower prices) (better quality) and have consumers slapping the red button. People love that Walmart trash. Fill a whole house with garbage they don’t really need.
The prices they paid for that high quality stuff 50+yrs ago would make you gag. Of course grandmas iron still works she paid the equivalent of $150 for it.
Nope. What I said was it’s especially delicious with hot wings.
I can’t speak for everyone, but it’s been my experience that people don’t tend to just hunker down and eat a block of cheese by itself. Most cheeses are meant to go with something else, unless you’re Charlie Kelly getting ready for a big date.
I've yet to find a burger that's better than just caramelised onions, blue cheese, and quality beef. I might add a leafy something out of arterial guilt, but I can't say it improves anything.
I’ve never even heard of it. Me and my friends have been too busy bathing off the southern coast of St Barts with spider monkeys for the last 2 weeks. Tripping on acid changed our whole perspective on shit.
Canada's Hundred Days. Aka the last 100 days of WW1.
Functionally, Canada won WW1 for the allies.
Being under 10% of the WW1 force, in that period they tackled defences everyone else thought impregnable and shattered them, like the Hindenburg Line, and in the process paved the way for the allied advance. They also took out a quarter of the German forces in that time.
While they did arguably use proto-blitzkrieg tactics of using lots of machine guns, and then also using vehicles to move troops even quicker while using said machine guns, one of the biggest factors was a prodigious use of chemical weapons.
To the point that in the interwar period, Canada had the largest capacity and stores of chemical weapons. During WW2, said stockpile is one of the reasons Hitler refused to use chemical weapons on the allies.
Edit: And a lot of the rules on fair treatment of POWs and rules on capturing surrendered soldiers also stems of Canadian soldiers behaviours during WW1.
Also don’t forget the good old Shotgun / Trenchgun, which was seen as an unfair weapon in trench warfare as there was no answer to it in close range and tight corridors.
Germany literally banned the use of them, Germany.
To be fair, French Canadians were overrepresented and didn’t want to be there so they figured if they were super good at it they could go back home ASAP.
If I remember my chemistry right, chlorine trifluoride would like to have a chat with you. It’s such a powerful oxidizer that when burned with oxygen, the oxygen is actually the fuel rather than the oxidizer.
But then this is the stuff that the Nazis decided was too dangerous to use as rocket propellant, then decided it was too dangerous to use as a chemical weapon.
I don’t want to chat with Chlorine Trifluoride, it’s nasty.
But yeah, there are some obscure situations where oxygen isn’t the oxidizing agent, but the name “oxidizer” gives a clue how rare that is. In most normal situations, oxygen is the oxidizer and the thing it reacts with is the fuel. Partially that’s due to Oxygen being a good electron acceptor, but mostly it’s because there’s a lot of oxygen in the planet, and anywhere you can have humans you pretty much need to have oxygen.
1999 was 24 years ago. 24 years before 1999 was 1975, when Wish You Were Here, Physical Graffiti, and Toys in the Attic all came out. Those were definitely classic rock then.
I was talking to someone (younger, obviously) and they used the phrase “in the late 1900s” completely unironically. It stopped me dead in my tracks and took my brain about 5 seconds to compute. By the time I was able to speak again, the only thing I could say was “you need to shut the fuck up and leave right now.”
As an elder millennial (84, fuckers) I’m really struggling with entering middle age. But I guess I just approach it the same way my generation has approached everything else, with a weird mix of existential dread and wry humor (hat tip to Gen X for starting that, though).
