Reddit: 'Anyone else's liberal parents addicted to Trump?'

Interesting thread and reflects what I've seen:

EDIT: Looks like few actually read the linked thread. Not surprising.

Rio diving pool—still green—now closed and smells like farts

Source: ars technica

"Authorities have blamed everything from people to pH, but no end is in sight.

The outdoor Olympic diving pool, which turned a startling shade of green Tuesday, is now closed. It reportedly smells like farts and may be causing eye itchiness among athletes. Since Tuesday, Olympic organizers have repeatedly assured athletes and fans that the pool is safe and that the situation was under control. Rio organizing committee spokesman Mario Andrada told reporters on Wednesday that “the pool should go back to its classic blue color during the day.” That clearly didn’t happen. Instead, reports trickled in that the adjacent pool used for water polo and synchronized swimming also began to turn green."

Dear Tofurky fake lunch meat - we're done.

I can put up with the fact that you don't fan out the slices in the package and they are a PITA to separate.
I grudgingly buy you even though the packaging requires me to open a totally new plastic bag to store the Tofurky - and throw out all of the original packaging. Horribly environmentally insensitive.
But I can't stand how much of a PITA it is to open this plasti-wrapped nightmare.
I just attempted to remove the stack of fake meat from plastic's death grip, and it shot out over my computer monitor & landed in a pile of dust on the back of my desk.
