I thought this was an interesting topic of one of the episodes of chef's table (netflix docuseries). The chef focused on what real "american" cuisine looks like, and since cuisine typically comes out of hardship, American food doesn't have as distinct of an identity since the USA has typically been a country of "plenty." Was really a fascinating point, and it made me look at food culture in a very different way

There are plenty of insurance companies that are like this. They're significantly cheaper than the nationally advertised insurance options.

Reminds me of people who are all about Altoona style pizza. I'm honestly not very interested in trying it.

It looks like the email is a scam! Be careful! Definitely don't recommend putting your info in there.

Here's a source, and it pretty accurately describes the email you're seeing:

https://malwaretips.com/blogs/evrievri-notes-com-parcel-delivery-scam/#:~:text=This%20scam%20is%20essentially%20a,identity%20theft%20and%20financial%20fraud.

Excerpt:

The email prompts you to click on a link to resolve the delivery problem, but the link actually directs to a sophisticated fake Evri website. On this phishing site, victims are asked to enter personal details like name, address, phone number, and even credit card information to pay a “re-delivery fee.”

I don't think it's fair to suggest that a more detailed logo is going to automatically be good in this context. People can complain about lack of detail, and also be disappointed if more detail is poorly executed.

This is how I've always understood it as well. The two spellings are homophones so it's a pretty easy mistake to make.

I disagree, "should've" and "should of" sound virtually identical when spoken (at least in some regions, can't speak for all pronunciations). I can imagine why a non english native speaker would have trouble with this, though I'm not disagreeing with it being a common issue amongst native speakers as well.

I think mine is bugging out, i asked if it was liquid, solid, gas, mineral, metal, in my house (shrug), smaller than a room. All of these were "no." Then it says yes to aqueous, and shrug to is it plastic. The answer though, wth, Wasn't this the answer a few days ago?

Edit: it did bug out, it gave me the same answer from a few days ago. I was close

I didn't want to make that assumption because then i run the risk of reacting more based on my own biases and less on the context of that was actually said. I did pursue the source of the quote:

"Take-Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick isn't concerned with upsetting fandoms, as reinforced by his latest comments that video games should be priced on their “per hour value”, aka based on the hours of gameplay you get."

https://www.gamingbible.com/news/gta-6-priced-by-per-hour-value-171196-20231116#:~:text=Take%2DTwo's%20CEO%20Strauss,hours%20of%20gameplay%20you%20get.

I'll reiterate that i don't necessarily agree with this idea, but i can at least see where he's coming from. I've absolutely played games that were incredibly short (I'm looking at you, Fable 1), and thought wow, fun, but i spent $50 on this?
