I tried, but my grandfather liked to sit in the living room recliner and doze instead of sleeping. He was such a light sleeper that he heard the faintest clink of me lifting the lid from the jar, and I was busted before I could even get a cookie.

They are, I can buy both at the local grocery. Turnips are white, rutabaga are a yellowish color.


Yeah, we’ve got those in the states too, haha


Rockets are branded as Smarties in the US


it seems odd to including gaming for Grandma
Why? Back in the 90s, my great-grandmother learned how to use the family computer (it ran DOS) because she wanted to play the Wheel of Fortune video game.
I was looking for some local jam to gift for christmas, but it was all from out of state. I wound up going to the orchard itself and found some apple brandy jam, and a hazelnut spread.


Look Jan, ‘bicycle’ isn’t a dirty word, you just got dragged into HR because you said Deborah was the town bicycle.
I went to the co-op the other day, and they don’t even stock mostly local any more.
My gran used cottage cheese instead of pudding for that.
Oh, I understand. I was trying to snarkily imply that the smug, autofellating, condescending attitude you mentioned was unfortunately endemic, to the point where it’s starting to feel like some people are secretly jorking it while telling newbs they suck. I think it’s a huge reason why people feel like FOSS isn’t for them.

We didn’t call them influencers, but people like Glenn Beck and Billy Graham were absolutely influencers. My parents whole church hung on their every word, so you really can’t say everybody knew to ignore it either lol.


Nah, back then you bought a microphone and broadcast your conspiracies via Citizen Band radio.


The first? Wasn’t LOIC open souce?


Oh, I’m not the thorn guy, he just doesn’t bother me like the conformists want so I’m catching strays, haha


Oregon also has roadkill salvage permits available!


Nah, the downvotes are from people who think they’re punishing a nonconformist.


But no one is finding roadkill and saying “oh man, I gotta get in on that”
Fun fact, there was enough public outcry in '16 for the state of Washington to amend it’s laws and make it legal to harvest roadkill for food.


That is clearly a crystal with a ring of facets around the middle
In the US, jelly is pectin-thickened juice but jam leaves the fruit puree in it.
Edit: Jelly is also a thicker gel texture, and jam is still quite loose.
