Commented on HOWTO turn a banana into a no-spoon baby-meal
Teresa @42 "I can't believe you haven't heard the term (parenthack) before." Guess I'm not as geeky as most round here. And now I know the term, I sure as hell would never use it....

Commented on HOWTO Make a 3D printer out of Legos
Cory is wrong LEGO should never be pronounced "legos" (sounds like a pasta sauce) The title should read "How To Make a 3D printer out of LEGO"... I've spent many, many hours playing with LEGO I have thousands of LEGO...

Commented on Australian educational authority forcing kids into invasive database
Meh... it's only happening in the state of Queensland - Australia's version of the United States conservative Deep South. This database would never get off the ground in other states. Anyway, what's Doctorow's beef with the land downunder? Every single...

Commented on Radiohead DRM-free "box-set"
why anyone would pay £34.99 for the "digital box set" is unthinkable! the albums on the digital download option are available only as 320kbps MP3 files - for that price they should at least be CD quality lossless audio. it's...

@Apoxia, the Safeways and Andronicos spattered around Berkeley both carry Twinkies, I think, but Safeway is the best bet, since I have purchased them there before. Honestly, I'm surprised that pictured coffee has as few sugar cubes in it as it does....

godwhacker commented on Photos of food and their sugar-cube equivalent
having looked at all the pages, i was left with one conclusion, which of course has been known for years. sugar is a staple of food, and there is no avoiding it, just ways to moderate it by awareness. i quit eating poptarts, and drinking mountain dew years ago, and i don't miss it at all. i do like a cherry cola Sprecher's from time to time. and if i drink any full tilt soda, i go down to the mexican market, because mexican bottlers still use real sugar in the soda, making it taste like what you remember when...

@ #11 Deckard68: Thanks for your thoughtful post! I'd only add, it seems like different types of food packaging have gotten crystallized at different eras. A lot of the convenience food / junk food items have packaging from the 70s because that's when that market expanded and the products were developed. However, if you walk down the baking aisle of your supermarket, you will feel like it's the 1950s, 40s, or even earlier. Packaging for major brands of flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, etc hasn't changed in a looong time....
Rossy commented on Photos of food and their sugar-cube equivalent
