    - Hmm, my local store says they do green peppers. Red's probably gotten too expensive :/ -- nm - Meg Sep 14, 13:55 2
      - That's too bad, the red came through really mellow. Green is probably punchier. -- nm - con_carne Sep 14, 14:22 1

  - And somehow, she was not arrested for that stunt. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 11:33 5
    - Because she's an idiot. It was a double door and she only cuffed herself to one of them. - Tim Sep 14, 11:57
    - it was obvious she was doing it for the media and cops sawing off the chains would make great tv news, hey we have other doors... - zeitgeist Sep 14, 11:46
    - To the contrary, nobody cared. So, she had to ask for them to get her out of her mess. -- nm - David Sep 14, 11:37 2
      - Yeah. Arrest her after. Let her surrender after 2 hours (dedicated to her cause) and then end up in cuffs on her leisure. - Will Hunting Sep 14, 11:54 1

- We have a "smart" TV and when we turn it on it tunes to what we were previously watching, which is cable. I'm not sure I understand the issue. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Sep 14, 12:55 2
  - When I turn the TV on it displays rows of choices. On the bottom is a box to click for our local cable box next various streaming services - zeitgeist Sep 14, 13:05 1

  - yeah, but those don't have remote control.... just trying to make mom's last month's easier... ordered a replacement remote for the one she's using - zeitgeist Sep 14, 11:49
- Cheaper TVs have fewer features, but they're all gonna be smart TVs at this point. -- nm - David Sep 14, 11:32
