    @wtg said in Lay's crisps (potato chips to us): Never heard of Ketchup chips. Checked them out and it seems they really are a Canadian thing... https://www.therecipe.com/the-delicious-history-of-ketchup-chips/ From the comments: I knew something wasn’t right with our southern neighbours when I found out they didn’t have ketchup chips. Yep! And your article talks about Hostess chips which people STILL talk about. There is even a retro clothing company that has made shirts with the Hostess Munchies on them. Their Salt and Vinegar chips were by far the saltiest and vinegariest of all the brands. Lays just isn’t the same - but I’m glad they kept the Ketchup flavour!

    I did not see a problem as long as they install them next to NARCAN vending machines.

    That seems consistent with the common legal strategy of sueing anyone involved in any way in the hopes that someone will pay. Big Al

    If you have a Gmail account, I recommend uploading your video to YouTube. You can create a “channel” with a different name from your Google/Gmail username (so random strangers won’t figure out your Gmail address just from your YouTube channel name). You can also make your videos “unlisted” (so random strangers cannot find your video via search or via Google’s recommendation algorithm). Among all the “free” video hosting sites, YouTube is by far the most open and highest performing. E.g.: Link to video

    Saw friends that live in Pueblo last week. They said it gets very hot there. Heat and rats seem to be present wherever the plague is found.

    A fascinating oeuvre. I wonder how much the twin lens reflex (Rollieflex) she apparently used contributed to her art. It lends a definite different perspective. It does cause one to wonder how many unrecognized artists pass through without acknowledgement? Big Al

    I’m still too close to years of driving $100 beaters around to get too uppity and proud of a car. Although I took a long look at one of the retro T-Birds today.
