It’s hard to explain, but there’s a different vibe / rhythm to it than educating yourself. Like maybe it’s more pained because I’m trying to find the absolute cheapest, and figuring out if I can afford the larger quantity that’s actually cheaper by weight, but will eat up more of my immediate budget, but will last me longer. So maybe it’s more like picking up the same type of pasta but in two different sizes and looking at other items in my cart and trying to figure out what else I desperately need to determine if I can afford the $0.75 more for the better value.

If you see them in the aisle and they pick up and put down similar products and are carefully looking at prices and quantity for comparison shopping. Perhaps carrying coupons. Adding up items in their cart and possibly setting things aside (even if just in the top basket) to see what they can afford before committing. Buying a number of inexpensive basics - lentils, cheap ramen, items from the “we’re ugly” vegetable bin (that’s what they call it at my store). Perhaps someone who is clearly juggling kids, and is stressed and overloaded while trying to focus on figuring out what to buy.

None of these are “guarantees,” but just some ideas.

Wow. I have SO much respect for that reporter. EVERY reporter should take a lesson from him. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! I’ve already been impressed with the game, but this takes things to another level. Great video production quality too. Thanks for posting!

Oh wow - I never knew that! I’m glad to hear the social programs exist, but still… yikes!

More kids died young too, so they had to have spares.

Yes! Thank you. I love that episode.

Twilight Zone?

I’m going to beet you up.

You’re likely thinking of this quote from a 1981 BBC interview in the series The Pleasure of Finding Things Out:

“I have a friend who’s an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don’t agree with very well. He’ll hold up a flower and say, ‘Look how beautiful it is,’ and I’ll agree. Then he says, ‘I as an artist can see how beautiful this is, but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing.’

I think he’s kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is … I can appreciate the beauty of a flower.

At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it’s not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter; there’s also beauty at a smaller dimension.

The fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting — it means that insects can see the color.

It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds.

I don’t understand how it subtracts.”

Playing my dobro or basses. Really, making music of just about any sort.

First of all there are real risks to boiling water in the microwave, but I get why most people ignore them. Second of all, not ALL of us have microwaves (I don’t), third of all, it’s not “one more thing” if it’s an appliance used every day for multiple reasons. You seem to have an odd hate towards kettles.

I’ve used one for ages, it especially helps when boiling water on the stove. I heat it in the kettle first and then pour it in the stove pot. So much faster!

Helps curb the sedentary lifestyle epidemic as well! I’m all for it. Think of the senator’s yards interesting natural locations where you could hide caches.
