I like it. Dolph and Frank better get a cameo, too.

Duuuh. Did they really think the company would just eat the additional costs? What a bunch of maroons.

Do you use the popcorn button? in c/[email protected]
[–] hydrashok 3 points 3 weeks ago

I used to have a microwave that the popcorn button worked perfectly in and it was amazing.

After it died we replaced it with the same make and model and the new one’s popcorn button is crap. I’ve now timed how long the bags need to be in, so I just put that in instead. Never use the popcorn button anymore. It’s annoying but effectively it just is two extra buttons before starting so it’s not horrible.

Although now I have one of those electric kettle popcorn makers like the movie theater and pretty much only use that now. But it definitely can’t match microwave popcorn for convenience.

What is the longest you've been awake without sleep? When and why did you do it? in c/[email protected]
[–] hydrashok 9 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Used to be on an odd schedule when I worked overnight.

My work shifts were Thursday to Saturday, 1800 - 0500. So Sunday, when I got off at 0500, I’d stay awake until around 1900 (being up for ~26 hours) and then to go bed. Wake up Monday morning and have a normal Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, then stay up all night Wednesday night until Thursday morning (another 26 hour stint) and the go to bed Thursday morning so I could then go to work at 1800 Thursday night again.

Did that for about a year and it actually worked out reasonably well, but not something I’d entertain now that I’m older.

That schedule is also the reason all my clocks are always set for 24-hour time and I can still fall asleep in broad daylight without any trouble.

Everyone I went to high school with. Although to be fair, they did the same. So I guess win-win?

Can certainly use one to ban abortion though! Jackasses.

Democrats should have listened to Bernie Sanders, historians say in c/[email protected]
[–] hydrashok 45 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No shit.

Thanks, DNC and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. Took an incredible upwelling of enthusiasm, energy, and grassroots engagement, and completely squandered it by nominating Hillary instead.

It still pisses me off. It should be the end of President Sanders’ second term.

These are the 34 new Minnesota State Fair foods for 2023 (m.startribune.com)
 

At least five that I'm going to try this year. That Italian Duo Dunker looks awesome.

Stubborn snow pile at MSP Airport persists despite hot weather (m.startribune.com)
 

I figured everything would have melted by now. Crazy that there's still snow to melt at MSP.

Minneapolis has been named the best big city for biking in the U.S. (www.axios.com)
 

I don't think I've ever ridden a bike downtown, but good to know it's available for those that need/want it.

Super cool. Hope some of these kids have the opportunity to make it big. There's a lot of talent there!

Taste of Minnesota will allow onsite consumption of THC beverages (www.axios.com)
 

Very interesting news. They don't need a license because that part of the law won't go into effect until next month. Curious how many folks will try it.

Minnesota Renaissance Festival will go on in 2023 (www.axios.com)
 

If it helps the traffic situation, please, God, yes. We to to Severs each year and the traffic for the Ren Fest had been increasingly insane each year. Glad they're finally doing something to address it.

As Twins wait, Bally Sports will exit deal with Diamondbacks (m.startribune.com)
 

I'd love to watch more Twins baseball, but even with free MLB.tv from T-Mobile it's not worth it with 60+% of the games being blacked out. Would love to see a new plan from these ashes that can accommodate an internet-only viewer.

So devastating. Hope he enjoys spending the rest of his life in jail.

Minnesota won't host the 2027 World's Fair Specialised Expo after losing a vote in Paris (www.axios.com)
 

Sucks, but somehow still comforting. It's like all Minnesota sports stories -- do awesome work to get to the playoffs only to be eliminated before we get to the finals.

(Also, is there a crossposting function in Jerboa? I put this on the MSP community at midwest.socal as well but didn't see any obvious way to duplicate it here.)
