Red onions
Garlic salt. Use the real thing sparingly not as the main flavor
Any TV or movie that depicts the male character as a bumbling idiot



Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

Glocks are useful to me as a yardstick for comparing interesting guns to. As in: "I bought a pristine S&W pre 15 Combat Masterpiece for the price of Glock"

I agree with you about emacs, but I always thought that vi was a great editor.

Back in the early 1990s, when I was teaching various UNIX-related courses, one of the courses was a two or three day (can't remember) course on advanced vi editing. I haven't thought about that for many years.

That’s funny. I still happily use emacs, but only ever suffered vipw long enough to get things going enough to have emacs up and running. I guess it is all what you take the time to learn. I started on TOPS-20 and we had emacs, not vi, so...

Anyone have that experience?


I’m one of them.
I’m fortunate, though, to not have one of countless other genetic conditions that could be a real handicap. As it is, I just have to ask about the spring rolls in Vietnamese restaurants and to avoid the salsa offered with the chips at some Mexican places.

^^^ THIS. I really hated it working retail. It started in October and played on a continuous loop all day.

Also, being anywhere near a photo being taken. I don't enjoy being around cameras.

Put me on the list for all geezer rock. That garbage from the 70s should go away forever. That decade might as well have been the dark ages.

It's an acquired taste, like beer. Smile

Hey now, I likes me some geezer rock. Hasn't been any good music since the beetles broke up. This modern top 40 stuff could take a flight though. And I'm 33, so it's not like it's reliving my youth or anything.

Yeah, vi WAS a great editor ... if all you had was one of these!

One piece in a bowl of soup and it tastes like they did not rinse the dishes. It was explained with some stuff about chemicals and different taste buds, but basically it was not something that you could “grow to like.”

Anyone have that experience?


This is true. It is a genetically determined sensitivity. Some are also more sensitive to the bitter tastes, making flavors like broccoli very unpalatable.

But, you seafood haters: a lot of people have posted here that they don't like seafood. It hardly seems like a food that is universally loved.

The idea isn't "things you hate," it is "things almost everyone likes, but you hate."

The song "American Pie" by Don McLean. McLean had a lot of good music, and he is known for that piece of crap. I don't get it.
