- Anti-semites like to out people as Jewish using that. Now people are adding it their name to counter the hate. -- nm - Krusty Jun 14, 05:49 1
  - Specifically so they can be targeted for online abuse, yeah. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 14, 05:56
- From what I understand the ((( is someone tagging a Jewish person in a negative way. I'd imagine the self-doing it is a sign -- (edited) - Will Hunting Jun 14, 05:47 4

Question for people who like tuna: you know it smells revolting, right? Nm - ralph wiggum Jun 13, 21:22 48
- ahi tuna doesn't smell bad at all. I don't really eat canned tuna fish. -- nm - Diva Jun 14, 06:34
- My coworker eats it right out of some kind of bag. Smells like cat food -- nm - oblique Jun 14, 05:56
- And oh by the way - adding mustard directly into the can of tuna...yeah, that only makes it worse. -- nm - Jim Jun 14, 05:53
- I only use a little bit of it in my pasta salad, otherwise it's effin disgusting -- nm - CQ Jun 14, 05:27
- Wiggie has never been more right. Tuna smells like another fish ate the tuna, threw it back up, and then we canned it. -- nm - Inigo Jun 14, 04:05
- cooked tuna is a crime against nature. and you know what's even worse? cooked tuna sushi rolls. - mafic Jun 14, 00:26
- I only buy albacore, and only certain brands that aren't so bad scent/texture-wise. no relish when I mix it with light mayo, because ick. - b! Jun 13, 22:14 2
  - do it - senor dentista Jun 13, 23:09 1
    - I've encountered it, and it lessens. -- nm - b! Jun 13, 23:50
- All fish smells revolting. -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 21:54 6
  - fresh halibut is a good exception to this -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 21:54 5
    - Some might say, the sole exception. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 23:44
    - Kusty is just anti-fish. -- nm - Spawndroid Jun 13, 22:16 3
      - He is anti good pizza, see the trend? -- nm - Bacon Jun 13, 22:22
      - Fish stinks. Walking by a fish store is awful. -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 22:19 1
        
        that's the store more than the fish. many fish and other seafood has very light scent when fresh, stronger is a sign to pass. - b! Jun 13, 22:24
- Tuna should only be eaten as sushi -- nm - Bacon Jun 13, 21:46 2
  - haa. I had tuna tataki once (or some kind of plate that basically included cubed tuna). - Beryllium Jun 13, 21:46 1

  - Don't be weird. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 13, 21:49 4
    - it's genetic. be happy you don't know my mother :) - Peglegpete Jun 13, 21:59 3
      - technically, none of those are part of the fish's life ... - Beryllium Jun 13, 22:00 2
        
        not even 'etc.' ? -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 13, 22:01 1
        
        I swim. I die. I SWIM AGAIN. -- nm - Immortan Big Tuna Jun 13, 22:10
- Not with the mayos and the relish -- nm - senor dentista Jun 13, 21:30 22
  - Really, people? C'mon. Don't make me be on Team Pixie all by myself here. -- nm - kelly Jun 13, 21:40 2
    - I was mostly on that team, except for the relish. but pickles are kind of like relish. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 21:45 1
      - Yeah, okay. You're right. *phew* -- nm - kelly Jun 13, 21:52
  - Setting aside the horror of that concept, how would that make it smell less offensive? nm - ralph wiggum Jun 13, 21:35 10
    - you've seriously never eaten tuna salad sammich? -- nm - senor dentista Jun 13, 21:47 8
      - I have never even been around one. -- nm - Spawndroid Jun 13, 22:17 1
        
        see wigs? see?! -- nm - senor dentista Jun 13, 22:49
      - God, no. But back to the main topic: you see how eating that at your desk 2 1/2 feet away from someone else is obnoxious, right? nm - ralph wiggum Jun 13, 21:48 5
        
        I only eat fish at work if work provides it. -- nm - . Jun 13, 22:29
        
        agreed -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 13, 22:10
        
        I'm pro tuna but only in the home/restaurant. Nobody should eat fish at work. -- nm - Max Jun 13, 22:09
        
        if it's salad, it shouldn't be as pungent as eating it straight out of a can or package -- nm - senor dentista Jun 13, 21:52
        
        Not as obnoxious - and noxious - as microwaving it. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 21:50
    - ... the horror. the horror. OM-NOM-NOM -- nm - Marlon Brando si Jun 13, 21:35
  - Tuna is literally the only thing I put mayo in (and not all that much). - Tim Jun 13, 21:34
  - Mayo and mustard and pickles. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 21:34 2
    - Switch curry for the mustard. -- nm - Meg Jun 13, 21:41
    - (this) -- nm - JaxSean Jun 13, 21:34
  - Adding 2 more revolting things doesn't help. -- nm - jnine Jun 13, 21:33
  - I know we often joke about this stuff but: for real there's something wrong with you. -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 21:32 2
    - I largely don't like tuna, except for the occasional melt (with the above ingredients) .. west coast smoked canned salmon for the win. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 21:35 1
      - I'm with you on the salmon. -- nm - . Jun 13, 22:26

I've been saying for months it may be time to update my PC. Now it seems the SD card reader has failed :( - Meg Jun 13, 20:34 28
- I know there is a cost involved, but I love doing the new computer dance. -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 20:40 27
  - So tell me what I should buy. Pulled up the BestBuy site and first thing I saw is that desktops now come with built in Wifi. - Meg Jun 13, 20:49 26
    - The only thing I can tell you for sure is that a 2 in 1 laptop/tablet usually sucks unless you spend a lot a lot. -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 21:35 1
      - I'm not into touch screens yet, so it's tower and keyboard. -- nm - Meg Jun 13, 21:42
    - Questions: 1: Is there an ST approved manufacturer? Right now I have a Dell and it's survived about 6 years. - Meg Jun 13, 21:19 21
      - Do you want a desktop or a laptop? -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 22:12 5
        
        Desktop -- nm - Meg Jun 13, 22:16 4
        
        I have a hard time recommending big name brand because you just don't get much bang for your buck. - Krusty Jun 13, 22:36 3
        
        I like Cyberpower. That site is addictive building PCs with upgrades. -- nm - Bacon Jun 13, 22:42 2
        
        I recommend it often for people that don't want to build. Good prices for good parts. - Krusty Jun 13, 22:52 1
        
        I am a cooling system and for vid card away from another 6 Core Intel system -- nm - Bacon Jun 13, 22:57
      - Lenevo is my go to and it's made in America -- nm - Bacon Jun 13, 21:30 14
        
        Do not listen to him. -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 21:59 13
        
        I build my own systems but my wife wanted a no frills system and the Lenevo we got her is great and I couldn't build it myself for less - Bacon Jun 13, 22:25 9
        
        I build my own as well. I figured you were messing with her because they're a Chinese company and were in the news recently because they keep getting - Krusty Jun 13, 22:38 8
        
        Btw that spyware program (something fish I think) wasn't installed on hers - Bacon Jun 13, 22:49 3
        
        I know and the latest issue was specific to certain models but I couldn't trust them. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 13, 22:56 2
        
        It has been fine so far. She lightly uses it several times a week. We would buy Lenevo again -- nm - Bacon Jun 13, 22:59 1
        
        That's fair. If you're both happy that's what matters. -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 23:25
        
        Nope, my wife's PC made in USA -- (link) - Bacon Jun 13, 22:41 3
        
        Built in the U.S. with Chinese parts and the software is preloaded. That's the issue, the software. I couldn't trust them. -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 22:50
        
        To clarify, it was assembled in the USA -- nm - Bacon Jun 13, 22:45
