    Circular robotic vacuum cleaners.
    We visited friend today who have one of these.  They said it is constantly getting hung up on something and then starts beeping.  Annoying and ultimately a sign of laziness.

    High heals for women.  Insane product.  Seems like something a medieval king would sentence you to wear for stealing his pudding. 
    They actually cause damage to women's feet. TY. 
    Of course they do.  If I was designing a comfortable shoe, they would be the exact opposite of my final goal.  They look uncomfortable even if you remove the stilt from the back.  If I was a feminist, I would make it a priority to round up the troops and go after getting rid of these.  It's low hanging fruit. 
    I have never mastered the ability to walk in heels. They say that if you have really expensive ones they are easy to walk in, but why do you see so many women walking to work in their sneakers then?

    Now wedges are not bad, you get the 'fancy' look and a nice look to your legs without the pain. Platform shoes, they are a different story and should remain in the wayback machine. 
    I went to a fancy charity event this weekend and I could not believe how many wealthy-ish women were crammed into dresses that were trying way too hard and toddling around like a drunk giraffe in their hooker heels.

    Bagged lettuce and bagged shredded cheese.
    Take 5 fucking minutes for greens that won't give you good poisoning and cheese that is worth eating.

    "Adult Male Onesies"

    Really? 


    Smart phones
    We are all dumber for them being here...and look at what it is doing to many who know no different world.
    (I am as guilty as most for looking at Sports news 100 times a day, for checking the 10c forum 100 times a day, and for texting vs. calling my friends.  We cannot unwind technology but the negatives far outweigh the positives at this point, imo, and as such I find them to be ridiculous.)

    You can get great cheese, shredded.  (Cabot / Seriously Sharp!)  
    Does it cost extra for something that would only take a minute and typically produce a better result?  Yes.  Yes, it does.

    You can buy pre-shredded Cabot??

    I actually did a coat analysis and it's almost the exact same price by weight for block cheese and shredded.
    The difference in flavor and texture is well worth the effort to shred it.

    I do prefer to buy blocks of cheese and shred them but for my tacos I buy Cabot Mexican shredded cheese.

    For Parmesan or Reggiano though they have to be blocks.  The taste is so much better when you fresh grate it.

    Yes and I agree.  Also, if I buy a block of good cheese the odds of other family members eating it all is slim -- them being generally lazy when it comes to shredding it themselves.  ;)

    I happen to like the Kraft grated parmesan that's 50% sawdust lol

    For tacos, I go fresh shredded jack.

    I have some of that "100%" kraft parmesan...you know, for the kids.
    ;)
    Grew up eating that stuff - love the 50% sawdust comment and I used to coat my pasta with it.  (yuck)



    I use the real stuff that I grate over my plate.

    I don't use it for much, but it's salty as fuck and dry enough to really thicken a sauce up, so I have a few uses for it, most notably crappy spaghetti, shitty pizza, and Cajun pasta.
