  • Y’know, it’s bullshit that a) you seem to expect this to be common knowledge, as if everyone is supposed to have an archive of internet minutiae saved in their heads or have read and remembered any such info at all…

    And b) you chose to downvote and pretty much just said LMGTFY without even the sarcastically provided results instead of backing up your claim. It’s basic courtesy to provide a source for claims instead of downvoting like it’s some kind of affront to your ego that someone wants info on your claim.




  • American regular grocery store brands of chocolate are horrible. Hershey’s and all the rest. Of course it’s the cheapest ingredients drowned in sugar to cover the otherwise poor taste. Cadbury’s now tastes waxy to me. Used to be pretty good. All in the name of profit.

    Aldi in the US actually has really decent chocolate, their Choceur label for milk chocolate is quite good. Good luck finding it, I think the tariffs killed the availability, haven’t seen any for weeks.








  • They’re profiteers.

    They want it so there’s no rules to prevent you from taking advantage of situations, especially poorer countries that can’t fight back or have no bigger gangster country extracting protection resources from them, and no consequences. Basically the colonialist attitudes and banana republics of the late 18- early 1900s.


  • The only thing that will fix that is “like for like” replacement coverage. Some insurances offer this, and of course it costs more, but if your older car gets wrecked and it only has a value of say $7,000 with 80,000 miles the insurance company will have to replace your car with the same model and mileage. Not sure what they do with older cars that might be harder to find replacements for.



  • Not sure what the “= =“ means, but PDX is the airport identifier for Portland. Portland is just “Portland international”. Sometimes the identifiers align closely with airport location or history, like ORD (Chicago) was built on “Orchard Place”, and Douglas manufactured aircraft at a facility there during WW2, so Orchard Douglas became ORD. Someplace like DFW is just Dallas + Fort Worth.

    Prob more than you wanted, but there you go.
