When is the remaster coming out? This is the right era to re-release Mindmaze.

Either rewritten for modern perspectives, or with asterix footnotes. There's bound to be something un-pc in there.

Still, that's the reason I win at trivia. It would make for great short form content clips.

I use Podurama because I listen on both desktop browser and on android. I wanted something that would track my progress and I could switch platforms 1/2 way through

I had to switch after Google podcasts ended. But before that I used Podcast Republic. Very happy with it , except for lack of desktop.

Young people have no hope of buying a house in my area.

In my neighborhood all the drug store shelves are bare (Rite Aid) and there's soon to be only one grocery store to choose from (Kroger).

When I'm getting groceries the checkers are talking about how the store is going to close if the merger happens and they'll all lose their jobs.

No 'media' lied to me and convinced me that the economy is wack. I see it every day.

What I'm not hearing in the media is recognition of working folks' struggles. Failure to address this kept Dems home.

Brain.fm. Been using it for years. Hits the spot.

While contact with teeth may be beneficial, there is no reason to ingest flouride. There is also no reason to wash your hair with flouride and water your plants and lawn with flouride.

If you want to supplement for children, have swish packets at school. The money could be better spent for the desired outcome.

Lock down life insurance before getting the test. Maybe also a Long Term Care plan too.

Albertsons and Safeway never should have been allowed to merge in the first place. There was a lot of location swapping like this, involving some locations going to the Haggen company, in the name of the competition.

Haggen was a small family owned chain from up north, a bit more expensive and niche than the Safeways had been. The kids of the early owners wanted out and sold to a capital firm. Two years after picking up the Safeway stores, the Haggen chain went bankrupt and Albertsons 'agreed' to acquire them, as if it was a favor. More like they engineered a fire sale and someone made out big. It's ridiculous what is being allowed to happen.

If Safeway and Kroger brands merge, I would have 6 Kroger stores of various brands within 5 minutes of me. The only non Kroger choice would be 1 Trader Joe's and a co-op. Especially since the Sprouts built a custom building, were there for 2 years, and left it vacant. What a waste of space they all are. I refuse to shop at any Kroger or Safeway since the merger was announced, and I won't shop at these spin off stores either. But I'm lucky I can make that choice. People who are forced to shop there now will only see price increases and less choice of brands.

All the Fred Meyer and QFC stores have been SAD to shop at since the pandemic when I did venture in. Terrible layout, lame inventory and unhappy staff.

Screw them. Bust up these ridiculous monopolies.

This isn't even the first incident this week. There is a rash of teen gun violence lately in the Seattle area. https://myeverettnews.com/2024/06/27/three-suspects-arrested-in-everett-after-teen-murder-in-seattle/

But would they react the same way if I was on a horse?

Driving a horse and buggy?

I still think it's just basic tribalism. Bicycle rider=wrong tribe.
