But actually not free as in free beer. Someone is paying to sustain these instances.

Edit: this is the 2nd time I've seen the phrase "free as in free beer" today and decided to look it up because I hadn't really taken notice of it before. I retract my statement and apologize. You used it perfectly and TIL, so thank you.

Boycott In-N-Out.

5 Guys is also twice the price and I would argue that their burgers aren't actually better than In-n-Out's. I like thousand island sauce tho, so I'm a bit biased.

Totally agree with you about the Cajun fries, they completely blow away In-n-Out's fries but their fries set a pretty low bar imo.

'Oppenheimer' draws debate over the absence of Japanese bombing victims in the film

Reply in thread

Show me a culture that likes to recognize the war crimes they commited as war crimes.

The Japanese seem to do way more of sweeping their dirty laundry under the rug from WWII under the rug than Americans.

And no, that's not trying to excuse Americans of acknowledging their own war crimes. Every culture should own their past and do their best to learn from their mistakes.

YSK: Flossing your teeth is only uncomfortable when your gums are unhealthy

Reply in thread

Well, clearly you should be flossing more if you bleed like that. I've used ultrasonic toothbrushes for over a decade and still ended up with cavities starting in-between my teeth because of my lack of flossing.

Something that helped me start flossing regularly was buying the really large spools of the better quality floss and a reusable dispenser. It's a lot easier to make a habit of something when you don't run out of it on the regular.

Google Play Music was actually the best music streaming service I had used. Their radios actually stuck to a genre and would often give you good recommendations on artists that weren't already in your library. They did the usual Google though and deprecated it for YouTube Music, which frankly has a trash radio algorithm in comparison.
