    @George-K said in Tucker Goes to Iowa: C'mon Man! There was a time when I would've split my sides laughing at such a preposterous thing. Now? Wotthehell, why not? You won't remember this, but months ago I said in here that I had the impression that he was contemplating running for office.

People seem to be mostly concerned about the inconsistency of the ones they didn't vote for in the first place.

I'm not sure the difference in taste with Mexican Coke Coca-Cola is attributable to the bottle, but rather the formulation. Mexican Cokes are made with cane sugar. Most of the taste difference is the formulation. I mentioned the small bottles. IIRC, those were 7 ounces. Much like a little Miller, the small Cokes are meant to be consumed straight from the bottle and the smaller volume means it's usually still cold by the time you take the last swig. The Cane Sugar thing appears to be in doubt… https://healthland.time.com/2010/10/28/study-hey-hipsters-mexican-coke-might-be-a-myth/ I’ll say this, there is something to the way the bottle fits the hand, the cold glass, the little vapor when you pop the top off… It’s probably mostly nostalgia, but yeah, there’s something to the bottle… TBH, I couldn't tell much difference when I tried a Mexican Coke. Then again, it's only freaking Coke....'Ah yes, I can sense the notes of plastic that enhance the underlying tone of phosporic acid and caramel colouring....' Ferchrissakes, you drink warm beer. You couldn't tell the difference if they put Lysol in the bottle... Brace yourself, the Bud Light jokes are coming....

    @George-K said in I'm so old I remember when a gig of storage was a lot.: @Doctor-Phibes said in I'm so old I remember when a gig of storage was a lot.: On a more serious note, we've stopped using HDD's for backup. One of the mailing lists I'm on had a discussion on whether to use a SSD for Apple's Time Machine backup. There was an interesting post about why a HDD is a better option for that. Interesting. I have a regular hard drive that I use for Time machine. I think I should do what you do George and have back up to that one and keep the backup "off site" and then every so often, switch them out.

    @Jolly I agree. It seems to me that the suburbs are where the non-local elections are won or lost these days.
