Context for those who don’t follow such trends:

PCP Overdose

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) states that the effects of PCP are dependent on the dose taken:
Lower doses of PCP are the typical doses on the street, and they are usually between 1 mg and 6 mg. At these doses, the effects are similar to alcohol intoxication.
Moderate doses of PCP, between 6 mg and 10 mg, produce significant psychosis, hyperactivity, and issues with irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, muscle rigidity, and elevated temperature rates.
Very large doses exacerbate the above effects, and they are also likely to produce comatose states, catatonia, and seizures. Extremely large doses, above 200 mg, can be fatal.

(Yes, I chose the word “trends” to be a bit ironic.)

An hour late. Overslept. I’ll need to knock a couple of glasses off the counter to make up for it.

While they’re at it, they should ban cars from the park, too.

A series of very poor choices led her to standing next to Trump in the Oval office looking like that. The first one was marrying Michael Dell.

She’s leaning back in her own avatar photo.

I hope she posts more images she wants removed.

I’m sure it cuts down on shoplifting, just the illusion of someone checking. They wouldn’t pay someone to stand there and do that if it didn’t work.

At least in the U.S. UHT and ultra-pasteurized are not the same:

Ultra-Pasteurized Milk Ultra-pasteurized milk undergoes a more intense heat treatment, where it is heated to 138°C (280°F) for 2 seconds. This process extends the milk’s shelf life to 30–90 days under refrigeration. Ultra-pasteurized milk is packaged in paper or plastic, with the package being treated with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) to ensure sterility and preserve freshness.

Heat Treatment: 138°C (280°F) for 2 seconds

Shelf Life: 30–90 days

Storage: Requires refrigeration

UHT Milk UHT milk is heated to 138°C (280°F) or higher for at least 2 seconds, making it nearly sterile. This high heat treatment not only kills bacteria but also allows the milk to remain shelf-stable for up to 6+ months without refrigeration, until it is opened. UHT milk is packaged in a hermetically sealed container that is sterilized, ensuring the milk remains fresh and safe to consume.

Heat Treatment: 138°C (280°F) or higher for 2+ seconds

Shelf Life: 6+ months (unopened, no refrigeration needed)

Storage: Shelf-stable, no refrigeration required

This was the fix. This is the only Greg you can get, because when you ask for Greg they give you this one.

Ask for John, and see how it goes.

It might as well have been a yard, considering how the definition came about.

Sometimes giving the fish is the right choice.

Cheese is on the top shelf instead of the middle shelf, “We’re out of cheese!”

I don’t know how much easier it can get than drag and drop. Do you mean copy/cut and paste, because I don’t think remembering paths for the CLI is easier.

Just be happy you live where the plumbing can handle toilet paper.

To me it seems, even if we were plopped down into the moment and everything is again exactly as it was, that from that instant forward things would change. Nothing would play out the same way, and the farther we moved along the timeline from that point, the more things would be different. Five years after you arrive, it’s a very different world from the one you knew before, or read about. It’s chaos theory.

So, the idea that one could shape the future, by stopping expected future events is silly, apart from the immediate future around the instant you appeared, but good luck remembering any of that, if you were even alive then before. Everything will spin off in different directions on a second pass, nothing will play out the same exact way.

The really big things like the climate issue and the eventual fall of USSR are still going to happen, but no one will listen to you, same as today. There might still be a big terrorist attack around 2001, but exactly what and where will be unknown to you, but more likely it will be years before or after, or not at all. Lottery numbers won’t be the same, there won’t be the same companies on the stock market. The knowledge about the future-past you experienced is useless.

The only thing that helps is your knowledge about life’s universal principals, and a better understanding what you do and don’t want for yourself. Your life will be different, because you’ll be able to make better choices, but everything else will be different too.

Not knowing the specifics of how this game works, but assuming I’m 17 again and everything is the same as it was, I go to my first GF’s house and… yeah.

Because that was one of the best years of my life. I hope the game is that I get to live my life over from that point, knowing everything I know now, because I would do a lot differently.

Cracking eggs on the counter instead of on the edge of a bowl.

I crack eggs on the bowl edge, and have for 50 years, literally since I was 10 years old and my mom taught me to make scrambled eggs. Maybe one in 50 gets a piece of shell in the egg, no big deal, just pull it out.
