Probably Douglas Adam’s:

The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as "Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun to Be With.” The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing devision of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes…”

Reported an issue with the name. I know I’m shouting into the void on this but a small poke in the eye makes me feel better.

To be fair, most/all kernels are written on a hardware abstraction layer, although lot of that kernel was built off of VMS… 😂

Didn’t NT 3.x or 4.x run on a RISC CPU back in the day?

The NJ ripped (deep fried) ones are missing. Also the Carolina is misplaced. The slaw dog originated in WV.

New Balance has 4E and I struck gold with XLFeet.com too.

I just wish they would keep some of their more offbeat flavors (Sweet Corn and Black Raspberry… 🤤) It was a little tastier when they were still sourcing milk from Snowville Creamery in Pomeroy, Ohio. I think that Jeni’s outgrew the production capacity or something similar… 🤷🏼‍♂️

Odd, mine has a metal handle recessed into the section just above the burrs. I assume that I can unscrew and pull them out with it.

I read about it yesterday morning and my school district sent out an email The same evening. I believe had it not been published they would have stayed quiet.
