Just Jack Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 A thread for those thoughts that while interesting, aren't deserving of their own thread. I'll start. Why would this commercial really need to point out in the small print that these people are "Not actual consumers. Paid actors." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do black olives come in cans while green olives come in glass jars? If you think about it, it makes sense. Black olives can be used for a lot of things. Throw a whole can in a salad, on a pizza or make ten creepy fingers that you eat like a boss. Green olives are for martinis. Unless you're getting after it or hosting a martini party, you'll need to re-seal. Edited June 24, 2020 by LB3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why not put them all in glass jars? Why, other than being able to see the contents, does aluminum vs glass matter when it comes to black/green olives? For example, perhaps black olives “decompose” faster than green olives when exposed to light. I don’t know the answer and now it’s driving me crazy.

Why do black olives come in cans while green olives come in glass jars? Black olives are already ripe, and can carry botchulism. They have to heat the cans up and the jars wouldn't survive that. Green olives aren't completely ripe, but sit in salty brine, so no worries with that. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 A Mayor in a small town generally gets a small stipend - these days, probably about $12K a year, but in the '70's, probably like $2K. They generally work full time jobs, or it's a retirement thing. So why did the Mayor in "Jaws" fight tooth & nail to keep the beaches open, risking everyone's lives, just to keep tourist money flowing in? Was his brother in law in charge of beach concessions or something? Makes no sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 We define a year as one revolution around the sun. Other planets in our solar system take different amounts of time to make one revolution, so their “year” is not the same as ours. With that said, when watching Sci-fi movies and tv shows and a character refers to an alien being “x years old”, are they referencing an earth year, or the aliens home planet year?

That depends upon accepted canonical belief regarding the work of science fiction, context of the time unit under discussion, and how OCD the author and the fanbase are regarding the work. Sheldon Cooper might have much more stringent rules than I would. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s also the part that tells you to create some distance. I think this is part of why they should be considered a protected class. If the rest of the community knows to back up, how do we protect these people from your chili induced flatulence? The sound of the fart could be less amusing than the look on the face of the guy who didn’t hear it, but now we are on the next level.
