Comment Same reason children prefer margarine? (Score 2) 149

They tested cookies made with butter vs cookies made with margarine, to see if children could tell the difference. Children could tell the difference, and preferred margarine. They believe the reason is: children are used to margarine, so butter tastes odd.

My guess is: if people are not used to drip coffee, it's not going to taste right.

Comment Are CA charging stations a PITA to use? (Score 1) 278

Here in CO, I can fill up my gas burner with just a credit card, or even cash. Even at a gas station that I have never visited before. Any gas station will do, I don't need to find a station that uses some special nozzle, or only accepts certain apps.

But to charge my EV at a charging station, I need to download apps, and join a network, and maybe jump through other hoops. It can take a half hour before I can even get started. And not many charging stations accept my CHAdeMO standard, so I need another special app to find those. My phone better be well charged.

Works just fine. Never had a minute's problem with it. Here is a video reviewing it:

Comment Is $200 a bargain? (Score 3, Insightful) 70

About two years back I bought a new laptop at Micro-Center for $60. Unlike a raspberry pi, the laptop came with: power supply, battery, screen, keyboard, pointer device, case, memory, storage, and OS (Windows 10) installed.

If you don't mind used, you can probably find a desktop, or laptop, on craigslist for nothing, or next to nothing.
