With a new band you never know. It could be a low, murky graaar like Immolation or Bolt Thrower… or a higher pitch like most Entombed (I prefer Clandestine where some bassist from another band sang, but most people don’t, for some reason). Or it could be like Deicide where the singer is mainly good then they cheapen it with this cheesy high pitched thing…. Carcass where the singer is h medium pitched and sounds good, then they also have a low guttural voice thrown in here and there, which was alright. Or maybe all is well and it’s the perfect Morbid Angel vocals.

Yes, actually despite claiming to be volunteers, mods of large communities on reddit are frequently offered decent sums of money for going along with shilling/advertising. That’s why many tried to become mods of hundreds of major subs, not for “power”.

This is because their execs are overpaid idiots who are on this list of people who should just stay home.

I mean the default subs that have millions of subscribers. Your subs look great topic-wise, but they have like 50 people so I don't think you're going to get ad offers yet.

Sometimes, sure. But with ~15 years on reddit I have run into some power-tripping mods before... /r/portland, for example - I mainly agree with their politics but when I didn't they'd delete all of my posts and then shadowban me. Not allowed to disagree.

Same. Their reasoning and the warning in general make no sense. Why would it be safer to view “unreviewed content” (wetf that means) in their app vs a browser?

They sell items in larger quantities, like 24 eggs vs 12, or 3 lbs of cheese vs .5 or 1, or 7 lbs of sour cream vs 1, 2-3 lbs of chips vs 10 ounces (if my goofy American units mean anything to you). They also have good prices on other items like kitchen goods, jewelry, electronics, auto services, alcohol and clothing. One thing that distinguishes them is that their house brand, Kirkland Select, is very good for most items. While they tend to only carry 1-2 brand names for most items, they’re very well chosen in my experience.

You can grab a cardboard box at checkout.

Basically they skimp like mad on this basic infrastructure because they don't care. Whatever companies make the standard shitty metal toilet cubicles in the US have a lot to answer for.

Maybe in the Midwest, east coast or northwest US. The south and southwest: some white people there are the most thrilled about death pepper sauce, and I’ve also met Hispanic people from AZ/TX/NM who have no interest in spicy food.

I used to use WindowMaker on seriously underpowered laptops 10-15 years ago. Seems like it’s still just as efficient. For something more standard interface-wise you could try IceWM.

Another thing to do is build your own kernel without any features you don’t use. Not sure how much of a difference that makes exactly.

There are distinct genetic lineages that can reliably tell roughly what region someone's ancestors were from.

It can be light hearted, or not. As you note some people do take it a bit seriously. The wiki article addressing the history and present nature of anti-ginger discrimination has some interesting examples.

Baba ganoush is pretty good

I have actually done that… well, I had a medical problem with swallowing and I was making shakes of all kinds of savory foods. Sorta like smooth soups… chicken and broth, roast beef with rice and potatoes, beans with salsa and cilantro… pretty good actually. I kinda miss the chicken milk.

The intro is a little less proscriptive: “ Here's the list of my favorite Linux websites. Perhaps you'll like them too.”

Hmm, I need to be careful next time I make someone watch The Prisoner.

Crack? Portland? I’m guessing you have pretty much never been to Portland, if even once.

My dad saw this painted on a sidewalk recently and was really curious what it meant. He was disappointed I think to hear it was just a “cool S” so maybe I’ll send him this comic!

I love that it’s “Amazon’s Choice”

Yep, I can't stand those air fresheners either.
