The problem is that it has been a bubble for most of its public trading existence. It was highly overvalued 10 years ago, the stock price has never made sense, so who knows when it will finally correct.

I don't understand. Which authors are you referring to that created the genre and are neurodivergant?

But they aren't in a position of power to change anything. Maybe if we lived in a sarcastocracy though

That's really expensive! Why not just make your own iced tea at that point? It's a very easy drink to make in big batches since you drink it cold.

I just finished a book this afternoon and this was a huge theme of it. Wonderful book, but hard to recommend. "Wind and truth" by Brandon Sanderson. I love his stuff, but you would need to read around 20 gigantic books to get to this point. Still, worth the effort if you like fantasy.

No, it's the opposite. The pharmacy doesn't make a ton of money, that's why they expanded to have all the other stuff.

How about "pasta" then? That way it's explicitly Italian instead. Or casserole? That actually kind of works, it's a bunch of parts you mix together and bake to get something cool at the end.

The term wasn't about Japanese drivers, it was about Japanese cars. They were called "rice burners" as in they were fueled by rice, not gasoline. I guess that was someone's joke that became wide spread.

You're right that it was sort of derogatory to refer to cars that had all their customization on things like giant exhausts, huge wheels, neon lights, rather than performance improvements.

I've never heard the term used to refer to the ethnicity of the driver, just the ethnicity of the car, so I don't think it's racist, shrug.

That's the best part of using Linux, you get actual error messages that can be figured out. Windows tends to just say "an error occurred" or "something went wrong." I dual boot for a couple games and Windows drives me crazy. It keeps trying to install updates, something doesn't work, and it then uninstalls the update next reboot. No idea what the problem is.
