I remember those days. I was so sad when it went away.

Elementary school tater tots (sometimes if you get it at a restaurant they’re over fried or just otherwise don’t taste right). Or scallop potatoes.

Replicator. But that kinda seems impossible so that Black and Decker rehydrator thingy from Back to the Future II.

Was it blockbuster that had those snack boxes? My siblings and I would fight over the carnation instant breakfast packet.

A similar problem would happen on r/ELI5 that drove me nuts. Originally the kinds of questions you were supposed to ask were things like “the origins of the Gulf war” or “the rules on how to play poker”. But instead there were too many questions that were like “what’s going on in my stomach when it growls”.

The NYTimes Daily podcast did a recent piece on why bodycams haven’t had as big of an impact and it sounds like a big part of the problem is that even if video is recorded the police retain custody so it’s super easy for them to bury the footage. I don’t know why it’s not standard operating procedure for an unrelated body be the ones to maintain custody of the bodycam footage.

It’s actually kinda the premise of this old Chinese drama from like the 90s. It’s called the Plum Blossom Birthmark. This woman gives birth to a girl but decides to give her up because the show takes place in old times and she felt her position was threatened because her husband had taken on a concubine so she decides to swap out her baby girl for a boy. She brands the girl with a plum blossom mark on her back so that she can maybe find her later. Years later the little girl and boy grow up and fall in love.

Yep. I still like owning Blu-ray’s for this reason. When I tell people I have a Blu-ray collection they make fun of me.

This was Once Upon A Time on ABC. Could’ve been a really good show, but it was basically fanfiction written by a middle schooler.

It doesn’t look like they offer Korean. Shame.

If anyone has a good app to learn Korean I’d love a rec. at best duo just helps me with vocab.
