That site doesn't claim that they aren't actually gluten free. What it does claim is that the data General Mills provided has not convinced the Canadian Celiac Association that the process for verifying that that there was no cross contamination was not rigorous enough. That is good info, but starting off with "Cheerios aren’t actually gluten free" is simply not true. My family has not had any issues due to any cross contamination with them (we would know immediately), but this does make me want to cut it out as the risk is simply too high. Thanks for the heads up.

That sounds like where I used to live, so I figured the BOGO was Publix. I'm now in the midwest so no Food Lion or Kroger either, all store chains I had never heard of, but they do a lot of the same things.

Thankfully this no longer matters since Sony just made an announcement which killed any interest in their platform.

You can still get a usb external drive very cheaply. I would actually still have an optical drive in my PC if there were any decent cases still being made that has space for them.

Hah, called this immediately on Sony's news. All of the console makers have been waiting for one of them to jump. This is the console equivalent of Apple dropping the headphone jack and everyone else following suit, but much worse.

That sounds like Publix behavior, though I am sure they are not alone. I have noticed that with essentially all grocery stores even after I moved across the country and have all different stores now, so it could be the manufacturers that are driving that sales flow. Either way, I get it. I just do the "stock up during sales" thing you were referring to because my wife and daughter were a bit starved for choices of "easy foods".

How many bottle caps do you think my dried Trinidad Moruga Scorpion peppers will go for? I bet the ghouls will love them!

Yeah, I did think about how to make it in any way viable as just a mental exercise and came to a similar conclusion. If I didn't enjoy getting my own veggies and fruits I'd probably just stop. I mostly started because I love very spicy peppers and was unable to even buy them most of the time. I eventually started growing all sorts of things of course, you can't survive on superhot pepper pods for long, and if you could, you may not want to.

This is unironically me. I sadly did the math on how long we can survive on my vegetable garden. Spoiler: not long!

I only buy specific cereal, and only when it is on sale, because my wife and daughter have celiacs disease and their options for "easy" food are fairly limited. Cheerios and Chex are essentially all I buy and only when they on a significant sale.

Commodore has been dead multiple times and been bought and "came back". Though I must say, the first death wasn't 50+ years ago, they were essentially in their peak around 40 years ago, which was around 4-5 years before they completely crashed and burned.

Android also started out looking like the ideal "PC in your pocket" phone. It was open source, used the Linux kernel, had full slide out keyboards, etc. Both of them started out at nicer extremes and then slide into enshittification.
