I first experienced the phenomenon about a year ago when I dug out my flight stick for sims, wrapped my hand around the stick, and it fell like bare-handing the floor of a well used movie theatre. Recoiled like a snake bit me. Took a few hours and got it cleaned up with some acetone, but I'm sure it'll start sweating goo out of the grips again at some point.

The worst for this is old apple product cords. They literally start oozing after about 10 years. I work in IT and I once found a bin of some pretty old ones in a closet and I basically took the whole thing and dumped it in the trash ecycle with out even trying to find survivor cords because it was so loving gross.

I mostly shop at this Food Lion that's right around the corner because it's so close and they have the worst deli. Just egregiously bad. I don't knkw how you can gently caress up rotisserie chicken so bad. I was looking at one the other day - $8.99 for a a 2lb bird - and it looked so dry the drumsticks looked like bones with jerky wrapped around it. I couldn't even tell if it had skin. I can't even explain. Never seen anything like it. They just don't give a gently caress.

On one of my lovely old Saitek flight sticks the coating broke down so completely that after sitting unused for about 15 years it had all flowed off from the stick and turned into a puddle of black goo in the bottom of the box.

Large Testicles posted:food lion in general kinda sucks, real poo poo selection This one isn't bad. It was removated recently. The deli is just terrible even by food lion standards. Last time I got fried chicken there it was so over cooked the skin was off the meat - like it was a hard shell that just surrounded the meat - and the meat was like jerky. I'll never forget it. hosed me up too. I was watching the Ken Burns "The West" documentary. Now every time I hear that somber music with the Native American chanting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFPloBBTw-Q) I'll think of what happ on that day. It started with a terrible rumble as soon as I stoid up. Just a violent explosion as soon as I hit the toilet.

TotalLossBrain posted:I can buy a whole rotisserie chicken for less than what the uncooked birds go for. I wonder how that works. The cooked ones are the smallest birds bulked up with a hardcore saline brine. Salt and water are cheap and make for a delicious and tender bird so no one asks questions. Never look at the nutritional info on a rotisserie chicken.

Allegedly rotisserie chicken and pizza's secret ingredient is MSG, but it does make it delicious. My ISP is no contract, no bullshit, cheap and they are upping my speed voluntarily every 3 years or so with hardly any outages and good ping. But they refused to upgrade to ipv6 for like 8 years and you only get a pseudo emulated version of it.

If you've never tried fried eggs with a sprinkle of MSG on top, you're missing out.

For what it's worth MSG is not at all bad for you like you were led to believe in the 70s All of the modern studies done on it have shown that it has no adverse effects even in people who claim to have "MSG sensitivity"

zip codes are what we call postal codes in the US and big huge lol at them being obsolete, they're used now more than ever because it's the easiest way for businesses to classify shipping areas.
