This is true. If you’re not having a party or can’t otherwise consume the full growler within 36ish hours, it kinda sucks. It’s not just about going flat, it starts to get skunked.

Disney’s been showing a short segment in between programs about hand washing to help kids understand that doing it for 20 seconds isn’t all that long. It’s a simple animation of the gloves Mickey Mouse wears doing the hand washing.
I wonder how many of them will realize that washing gloves isn’t as useful as washing the actual hands.

How is it that it’s quicker and cheaper to buy something from half-way around the world, than it is to buy it from a shop within the same city?

Consider the irony of your username/avatar for this comment…
They could also go back to some WWII era shorts (that actually aren’t the offensive ones…) that were heavy on explaining basic germ theory. I watched them recently and they’re interesting. I think some were intended for the Central/South American market (but the versions I have are in English) and were aimed at getting people on to cooking on proper-ish setups and to stop doing their business in the middle of the corn fields. It seems quaint, but that was a big deal back then and people did have to be convinced. We (as people) have so much trouble dealing with things we can’t directly see.
Seriously, if I hadn’t grown up with it and wasn’t able to look at the differences in death rates and infections rates I’d wonder myself. Though with small cuts it becomes clear what happens if you don’t keep things clean so there is a self test method.
On another note.
This happened in my town. The train crossing has a sign that says no entrance for semis. “You Will get hung up”… well apparently the driver didn’t speak or read English (Literally, not being sarcastic). They were having problems getting him to cooperate with the crew trying to get him off the peak. He also didn’t immediately understand that a train was coming and that he needed to bail.
The after image pictures are pretty wild. Don’t fuck with trains. Also, wow, world wide news.

I think I posted this before. If you decide to race a train to a crossing, there is always a loser.
- If you realize you can’t make it, you stop before you get there, so you lose the race but you’re still alive.
- If you don’t make it through the crossing and the train hits you, you lose your life.
If you’re lucky, you’ll survive and just lose your vehicle, several months and thousands of dollars for hospitalization and recovery. - If you make it through the crossing without the train hitting you, the train engineer is the loser because they can’t stop the train fast enough to avoid hitting you. All they can do is just watch to see if you make it. Your cheap thrill causes them stress and emotional trauma.
Train: 100s of tons.
Pickup trucks and cars: 1 to 3 tons.
Humans: 0.1 tons on average.
Do the math.

Just last month a guy on a bike went around the arms that were down, the lights were flashing. He might have made it, except that his bike went down and he fell. Loser.
Wasn’t “Don’t mess around with train crossings” all but a trope for old traffic safety videos? THere’s a reason something gets repeated often…

I kind of feel like that song should be peered with TMBG’s “Aaa”:
Thirty-eight years after the movie came out, I suddenly realized why TRON from the movie TRON was named that. It’s from the TRace ON command used for debugging, and TRON was a debugging and watchdog program.

Oh wow, what a flashback… now I remember using TRON to debug a BASIC program…
Latest Bitcoin theft refers.
Imagine if somebody do the mother of all heists, and snaffle everybody’s bitcoin(s)… only for world+dog to abandon bitcoin as a currency, leaving said blagger with a shit ton of bitcoin that’s worthless.

Why don’t my spare cash and available ammo at the store ever line up?
I have three rifles that I have 20 total rounds for. 30.30 might as well not exist. And they are fun guns to shoot, lever action is always entertaining.
Only three boxes of 9mm. A ton of shotgun shells, yuck, and a couple bricks of .22. And of course the Soviet surplus spam can of 800 rounds for my Mosin, which has a broken magazine spring and is a shoulder destroying single shot rifle now.
I was going to make my own AR-9 out of an 80% lower, but now all those are 6-8 weeks out.

I love how much more affectionate my cats get when it starts to get cold. I try not to think that I’m just a giant heating pad for them.

My dog’s the same way. He’s also dealing with being in a sweater for a bit as he just got groomed last week.
