You'd have to be really high on...well, weed, but heroin or meth will do, to go "a great idea for the modern man is to get banned from every state subreddit on the popular social media site Reddit".

I'd have thought OP was a karma farmer. A "karmer", if you will. But what even is the point of this? Unfunny lolz? Shitty bragging rights?

Awesome. Funny I got the SP36 first, then shortly after got the IF25a and use it way more. They are great, I am still slightly bitter at Sofirn though, they sent me a message here on reddit a few years ago asking if I wanted free lights in exchange for reviews online. I know tons of companies do this, but it still strikes me wrong.

Convoy are awesome and don't do any of that shady shit, but no sweet firmware and gotta order from China mostly, so slow shipping.

Reply to "Potato" chips vs Potato chips by Doctuh

Hey thanks for buying! My dad and my family make these, and we love seeing them reach a new audience! Hope you enjoyed!

This is an unofficial Fox Family statement, but: I've seen my Dad be asked this question (been asked it myself at food shows) and he always looks baffled and answers something like "why not?" So his grammar isn't top tier. He says he got his degree on the i95 (truck driver).

Also, he was having his daughter type this logo on a dial-up desktop computer using MS paint or something, as his eldest daughter had drawn the foxes, his youngest son had colored them, and it was so important to him that we all be involved. So she would type and lay it out. This was somewhere around 2000, maybe 1999.

I was maybe 7 or 8 years old, okay? He wanted emphasis and the underline wasn't looking right so I used quotation marks. Trust me, they looked better than italics.

Now, branding styles have changed and this is dated, but heck, so are we all up here in the county, and we smile about it rather than cringe. And changing the entire logo, all the plates to do so are wildly expensive. (And I suspect people would be strange about the change- when we added "wicked" and "hot" to the BBQ bags, everyone thought we had a new flavor. We're dated here in the county, and probably problematically resistant to change.)

Thanks for your question and spreading the word about our chips!

Reply to comment by Guygan in Has Portland cleaned enough money by notawight

There isn't any group that is better at carelessly over spending and stuffing contractor's pockets than the federal and state governments. Especially where this project was essentially mandated by the Feds, that just give the contractor's even more leverage to burn money.

I agree that the project has taken way too long for what it is. The area they are currently digging is all backfill from the fire in the 1860s, so it's not like they are having to blast bedrock.
