Post your random thoughts, questions, ideas here... I'll start
1) Have you ever watched America's Funniest Videos and wonder why the winning video is almost NEVER funny AT ALL?? We were watching some older episodes on Disney Plus and the final 3 videos are always stupid and not funny, and the worst one ALWAYS wins.. WTF..
2) How have cereal bags NOT been made with zip lock technology??
3) They need to make a container that can keep to-go french fries from getting soggy...

Maybe their bodies process veggies in a different way and they're able to gain weight from vegetables much more easily than compared to if a person were to eat carrots and celery? Gorillas are vegetarian and you never see one working out.There muscles are made like that. The issue is as a result, they need more calories and eat more. Humans on the other hand can change muscle mass overtime. Also vegetables can be high in fat and calories at times.
Well didn't know that Steam releases new games at 11AM instead of midnight. Kind of find it odd they do that or is that title to title.

I'm a fat (-ish) vegetarian. It can be done pretty easily.
Oreos are vegan. 🤷♀️

I’m diabetic. That was a diagnosis today, but I’ve thought it was going on for awhile. The constant thirst, the need to pee every couple of hours, random napping that I found wasn’t so random but it was happening after I ate. I have a circle thing on my arm and I need to scan it every whenever, apparently. Oh and I get to shoot myself in the ab once a day.
I have a lot of food and drinks that aren’t diabetic friendly. This will be fun, except for the part where I actually have fun. It’ll be a whole lot of change awfully fast, but I need to do it. If anyone has tips let me know.
Maybe I can eat carrots and ranch from B Dubs and be alright.

Well, yes, I know. My point was that it is easy to eat vegetarian ("like a bunny") and still end up fat.

I use a Libre sensor as well... I like it because I type a lot so less painful with my fingers.
I'm on once weekly injection and 2 oral medications right now. I've been losing weight for the past 2 years... I'm now no longer able to drink alcohol, even though I rarely drink alcohol anyways but due to medications, have to avoid alcohol now.
Food-wise I also struggle, but I have been limiting to HOW MUCH I eat and it has helped with blood sugars. You're going to feel like crap for awhile when your sugar levels go down, so just push through it. I struggle on the food because I'm single, live alone, and every time I get fruits and veggies, it all goes bad before I have a chance to use it all... Also, I'm not consistent on my eating habits such as I'm not a breakfast person, so I don't have a meal in the morning... and it's difficult to have my breaks and lunch meal at work because of how they keep making all these rules and crap.

I’m pretty much in the same situation. Single, but with a roommate. We have separate food setups and refrigerators and stuff, so I pretty much get to do what I want and that hasn’t been great for me food wise… with pretty much the same issues as you seem to have. I’m with once daily injections and some pill I have to take once a day with food. I just went grocery shopping yesterday and I apparently have a bunch of crap I shouldn’t eat. That is a problem I never thought I’d have. I’ll do what you’re saying though and limit how much I eat, since I haven’t been doing that ever.

When LED light bulbs came onto the market many years ago, my wife and I were excited and converted over to using them in many places in the house. Years later, I ended up unhappy with a couple situations using a dimmer that LEDs didn't work great for. The other day, I went to the store to find some incandescent bulbs and I couldn't find any. Eventually, I realized they are basically illegal now. *pout*

I believe that dimmable LEDs have come a long way though -- so you can get those now and they seem to be decent?

I did get some new dimmable ones, but I haven't tried them yet. Previous dimmables have had issues (e.g. they are inconsistent and low-light levels), so I'm not expecting much. Maybe it has been years though and they are great now. I will try again.

So, I can safely say that I've had Popeye's Chicken and I'm sad to say that it is NOT the shiznit. It's not bad, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's "the shiznit."

Popeye's quality REALLY varies by location. The one near me is awful, but the one in Evansville is pretty decent

Quality in all fast food restaurants varies greatly between locations and even within the same restaurant. If my most recent experiences at McDonald's, BK, and Wendy's were my first time, I would not return to any of them. Most of the time I order the Quarter Pounder from McDonald's because it is the only item they make to order. The last several visits to both Qdobas in my city have been so poor that I won't be going back for awhile. For my tastes, Popeye's is one of the better fast food restaurants. I've never gotten lukewarm food in a Popeye's meal. In my opinion, the red beans and rice is one of the best side dishes available at any fast food place. When I use coupons or the "free two piece snack" deal from completing the survey, it is one of the best values available today. The only complaint I've had with Popeye's is that sometimes the pieces are pretty small, but often I'm given three small pieces in a "two piece meal" without asking.

Popeyes is inconsistent as crap. There’s a few here in OKC and none some are good and some are not. Some that were good, aren’t the next time and vice versa. They all look like their building could use a good washing, too.

I find that hilarious as the Popeye's that used to be in my area was so bad...I had a friend who was a notorious cheapskate and even HE threw his sandwich away because it was so bad.

Yeah the Popeye's near my spot is absolutely awful. McDonald's may be terrible for you, but at least the food tastes alright. My Popeye's absolutely doesn't.

Raspberries are part of the rose family. I wonder if there are as many colored raspberries as there are roses.

You guys hear about this David Grusch fellow? Apparently a whistleblower from one of the highest military ranks who alleges that the military has a "UFO retrieval program" and that they have an intact "non-human craft". I haven't looked too deep into it yet so I'm not sure if this is all nonsense but he apparently plans to have an interview on Sunday. Some lawmakers are urging info from the Pentagon who are, of course, denying it.
Pretty fun stuff, real or not. Will be interesting to see what he says in the interview if it really happens.

Years ago I lent Sword of Mana and Children of Mana to a friend of mine. We used to lend each other games. I remember borrowing Oracle of Ages from him. I was pretty bad at the game. Couldn't figure stuff out.
Never got the Mana games back. Every so often I wonder if he still has the games. No idea if I'll get them back. Would be cool if I did though. You never know.
Haven't seen this guy in years. I think he moved to England. Had some great times with this friend. I wonder what he's up to.
