“Got it through sharing needles” was the 90s version of “got herpes from a toilet seat.”

$60,000 fine… who can imagine why these were anonymously donated… probably dug them up in his backyard

Complete indifference to food and water that led to fainting and probable heat stroke. Extreme nausea. All mitigated now with medication and forced hydration. Not fun.

Semaglutide is not a drug taken casually. Speak from experience on this one. :-/

They’re still around, just not as caffeinated. Still fun to drive around with one between your legs. Just alternate sips with a Monster.

Are you kidding? Most of them are tiny and weird looking in person. Have you seen what Nicole Kidman looked like in her 80s Australian movies? I enjoy her performances but now she is one of the strangest looking people I’ve ever seen.

I was shown one at some game room supply store in 2005, and I would presume older than that. They were meant to be strewn about your poker table.

A staircase with individual stairs 10 feet tall? Cmon. It looks like a cool dive but cmon.

There’s an optical drive emulator now, no need for discs.

I don’t mind a $5 fee, but it’s the markup above regular menu prices that generally kills it. I also had multiple issues with incomplete DoorDash deliveries. I doubt the drivers were stealing food, but the restaurants obviously thought they could get away with theft and not be penalized. It was ALWAYS the most expensive entree missing. Had to get into credit card disputes with DoorDash more than once before they were banned from our household. Oddly never once had the issue with Uber Eats.

That being said, the in restaurant experience sure as hell isn’t what it used to be, either. Rarely bother with a sit down place anymore.

Grocery delivery seems to be a winner, though. Costs about $20 more and I don’t have to spend two hours dealing with it? Count me in.

Nobody cares about your mister. Why are you people so compelled to tell everyone about them constantly?

Yes, the talent quickly falls off a cliff once you get into weird, niche sports. Remember this when the Olympics roll around. If the truly gifted set themselves towards many of those events, the records would be obliterated.

They have been photographing every single package since anarchists were shipping bombs in the mail 100 years ago. Seems to be breaking news every few years.
