Plenty of cheap, safe, reliable, and easy to repair vehicles on Facebook marketplace and craigslist without this bullshit.

I'd take any of them across the country tomorrow.

Saturn is such a good underdog car brand. Take care of them there aren't too many on the road anymore.

I want to someday get my family car from my childhood if I can find one. 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix

Sell shovels.

This is a broken take for so many reasons. Also service monitoring is a thing.

I listed my reasons, feel free to provide your own. I've done enough security, ops, and oncall professionally that I have zero desire to do extra in my free time. Power to you if want to do otherwise and/or post references to "deskilling" while advocating an outdated inefficient approach to long-solved problems.

You are the product.

Hard pass.

What's the use in ice cream?

My ice cream is just ... ice cream. Cream, milk, sugar.

Several reasons. Texture and freeze-thaw stability are the main reasons. The latter being an issue for home use mainly.

Your freezer’s self-defrost works by getting a little warm and then cold again. That causes ice crystals to melt and re-freeze, which is the opposite of what you want. Gums help with that and that’s why it’s in most of the ones you see at the grocery store.

They also can be used to give body to things that don’t have as much protein, like sorbets.

As an emulsifier, allowing the fats and the water to mix better. I _think_ it also might help to trap air bubbles. It helps you turn on the creaminess-knob

Egg yolk is the usual emulsifier, in the UK at least - ice cream is essentially a frozen whipped custard.

That’s also an option. I usually make mine without due to friends with egg allergies and vegan friends

I agree. A lot of commenters who have probably had privileged lives and never faced a situation where violence was, in fact, the answer.

I think it’s the opposite: many of these keyboard warriors advocating for violence in 2026 in America have no fucking clue what they’re advocating for, or how stupid they sound.

It's not good for this sort of disagree with a CEO stuff. Fighting Hitler is ok. Typed from England where we fought Hitler but don't generally go for CEOs. Is that privileged?

And they live in a country where the industry of violence is the largest slice of government budget.
