I'm not so sure about food, but for many mass market products it is indeed true that the same manufacturer can be engaged to make the same product under different branding. The difference then comes down to the corners cut to meet the client's pricing. Crappier boxes, thinner bags, packing material, and quality inspection. Assuming the core ingredients are not compromised in some way.

Pretty much the pandemic for people who didn't lose their jobs.

I learned what without hired help and a mother that got incapacitated, a house can turn into a sloppy mess real quick.

Learned to cook real meals, do laundry, and give the house a good vacuum and mop.

Went from a 105kg manchild to a 93kg still-a-manchild. Who knew that controlling your own food and regular physical activity would make a potbelly shrink.

Perhaps one should go to the website whose address is written in the corner of the video? I struggle to find the article for this specific incident, because there seem to be over a thousand written articles, going back as far as 2009.

Outside of the USA, those giant pickup truck are outright illegal, or would have an annual road tax of USD 2000. That's how tiny cheap EVs are made safer elsewhere

Best to end it while you are still "Master of your Domain".

Microtia? If yes then here is a tiny fistbump.

Yeah. Hearing Piano was really new for me.

That sucks to hear. I got the Titanium too. Would simply continue using that, but the battery seems to be bulging now. The new open run pro just feels flimsy by comparison and 1.3 times the original price of the Titanium.

I'm starting to consider other brands.

The word "Onomatopoeia" sound more complicated than what it means.

I feel sad. When I was younger I would always try and figure out North by the position of the sun, time of day and time of year, whenever I was in a new place. Its gotten so useless to do so I have forgotten how.

Last time I used these skills was in Norway. figured out North while walking around Tromso by looking at the Satellite Dishes.

The NAVIGATORS will rise again!

In my younger years my city used to publish a comprehensive road map that you could navigate by reading the road name index, figuring out its location on a greater city map grid, then finding its detailed map on a page listed on that grid. I literally used to help my parents navigate unknown roads like a Garmin before Garmin was even a thing. Every 2 years I would pick up the new edition of the map because the old one was getting ratty and out of date.

Good times.
