This was a reference to an older Jay Foreman video on this topic, wasn't found as funny as I'd hoped.

In all seriousness I look up candidates and try to find several sources discussing them to attempt to avoid biases from one source. I like to see how they've voted as a representative in the past (if they were one). For voting on propositions I will look up what it does, the supporting and critical arguments, and then who supports and who doesn't support it. That's usually how I go about it.

I get so drunk I don't know who I'm voting for!

As a big fan of Teardown; seeing what happened after Saber bought Tuxedo Labs, I'm not holding my breath for this one.

With Internet searching disabled, the start menu is decent enough as a quick launcher and so I find myself hitting the Windows key quite often for that purpose.

On Linux there are better launchers that I'm too lazy to set up so still just hit Super and use the Application Launcher to find and run programs.

Pizza Hut has a program called "BOOK IT!" which many classrooms across the country enrolled in. Teachers (or Parents over the summer or in cases of homeschool) can set a reading goal for the student and, when they reach it, can award them a coupon for a free personal pan pizza

I tried for about a week: reading documentation, viewing and modifying example programs, using a Rust IDE with warnings for all my silly mistakes, the works. I couldn't manage to wrap my head around it. It's so different from what I'm used to. If I could dedicate like a month to learn it I would, but I don't have the time :/

That is confusing! Thanks for the clarification and link. I guess I've seen kJ more than I thought, just not by a name that makes any sense lol. Never knew I'd learn so much by posting this lol

I was entirely unaware how common and mundane this is basically everywhere outside the United States. This is the first food item I've seen ever list kJ here, which is why I found it interesting, but I guess it's quite standard elsewhere!

It doesn't seem to be the case in the U.S. Basically everything I can find that has a nutritional information label exclusively lists "Calories" and I have never seen kJ here

 

Recently got some burritos from a food bank and while looking for cooking directions I found this nutrition chart. Never seen a food product use anything other than calories for energy, thought it was interesting.

The problem really is the super exposed hot prong you now have once you plug one end in

What jumped out to me was, in the second photo in particular, the suit Trump is wearing looks overly smooth? Just something about how it looks screams uncanny to me, which is odd cause the faces really don't.
