The one I buy has a Ziploc but it's very shittily attached to the inside of the bag. So sometimes it breaks off and then both sides of the Ziploc are stuck to one wall of the bag and it becomes useless.

People just take any opportunity to rant about their favourite cause that gets them fired up. They don't care about a fun premise for a thread. Sidenote: that would be my inconsequential thing to regulate; that people would always have to respond to forum posts on topic and in the spirit of the post.

Now I'm imagining the deal between Tesla and Siemens:

Siemens guy: alright Mr Musk, just sign these papers and the mireo will be leased to your company

Elon (in 8 year old voice): woo! I made a Giga train! Choo Choo!

Siemens guy: umm, okay... As I said, the train is a Siemens Mireo. Hopefully this lease agreement will benefit both of our companies

Elon: nuh uh! It's a Giga train and I invented it! Nobody ever had anything like this for getting around before!

If I'm writing a blacklist for slurs, I'm not thinking of archaic words like "griffe". I'm just making sure it doesn't use anything that would be used in a modern context.

Unless the game procedurally generates the words from a dictionary

How does the game work? Did you have to give this answer, or is it like boggle where you have to construct whatever words from a set of letters?

I went to one for a politician who was running in his party's primary to be the leader of the party. It was a relatively chill event in a local bar. This politician is somewhat famously a former member of a band, so the rally was mostly a live music event of him playing old labour movement/folk songs like 16 ton, interspersed with talking points.

ASMR videos. I know some people associate them with fetish stuff but they're really varied and most are just about relaxing.

Silicon Valley (the HBO show) was joking about this a decade ago. "Making the world a better place through highly scalable caching and consensus algorithms", "I don't want to live in a world where someone else makes the world a better place better than we do", etc.

Obviously this is very context dependant, but here's my take:

"I ate too many refried beans" = in one meal, I consumed more refried beans than I should have

"I ate too much refried beans" = over the course of an extended period of time, I ate meals consisting of refried beans more frequently than I should have
