Run Wild, Run Free
I’m sensing it may be time for an open thread, in which to share links and bicker. We could, for instance, establish, on a level of 1-10, how indecent and distressing this thing here is, and whether it constitutes grounds for divorce.
And some of you may care to theorise about this other thing and how it came to be.
If the cravings are too much, you can always poke through the reheated series and greatest hits.

Definitely a micro-aggression.

I see an educated Pillock called Dr Pollack-Pelzner [Linfield College, Oregon] has stated that Mary Poppins contains a racist black-face scene because Mary Poppins [Julie Andrews] rubs or powders her face with soot during the song “Step in Time” with Dick Van Dyke: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6661605/Mary-Poppins-branded-racist-academic-blacking-iconic-sweeps-rooftop-scene.html
I guess the pretentious Dr Pillock-Poseur would consider these men to be racists too:

Oh., there’s one or two of us . . . . more northern CA than southern, and there are parts of Washington as well . . .

I’m going with boredom and not quite careful staging . . . that alleged soot pattern on the wall looks brushed in . . .

Dr Pollack-Pelzner… has stated that Mary Poppins contains a racist black-face scene
The earlier books, written in the 30s and 40s, did originally include some incidental but rather dubious racial caricatures, long since removed. But as Daniel pointed out recently, to a modern audience, the films have no such connotations. (The one racial detail I can think of in the 1964 film is the admiral’s reference to the chimney sweeps as “Hottentots.” The obvious point being that the admiral is a buffoon, a comedic relic.) To find the Mary Poppins films “troubling,” as Dr Pollack-Pelzner puts it, requires a certain amount of contortion and active grievance-seeking. Which woke academics seem all too happy to indulge in, if only to gain attention and justify their salaries.

It’s to balance the box.
It’s to balance the box.
I see the benefit of an egg box that isn’t overly weighted at one end; but once opened, why keep the egg box at all? There’s generally a perfectly serviceable egg holder in the fridge door. From which, the exact number of eggs required can be transferred to a hob-adjacent surface – atop a piece of kitchen towel to avoid unwanted rolling, obviously. Said kitchen towel can subsequently be used to transfer the shells and any residue to the bin in a pleasingly mess-free fashion.
But I suppose some people just want to be savages.

Don’t keep your eggs in thefridge door. Too much temperature fluctuation. Leave them in the carton, as God intended, and keep it on the shelf.
Leave it to a white guy to mess up the eggs.

Having been many places on every continent except Australia and Antarctica, and having had to visit everything from gold gilded to hole in the ground tashnabs, and never having seen the like, I am still marveling at a plastic throne.
OTOH, it could just be an “art” installation. That, or the world’s most powerful burrito.
Football (regardless of type) is about as exciting to watch as watching paint dry, except in the world of the perpetually aggrieved where everything is rayciss, and white supremacist nazis.

I’m not sure if they’re just being dishonest for kicks or if they actually believe what they’re writing.

Bingo. Given that there are (prime number) seven there is no OCD satisfying pattern anyway, thus a somewhat random scattering, like pebbles in a pond, can distract from the necessity. I know it’s hard but I’ve found this a good place to start on my own OCD angst. Also, I believe on this side of the pond our refrigerator design folks have moved away from the egg holder in the door concept. Probably because it gathered flotsam and jetsam. Or because it requires a certain egg-centric commitment. And given our betters who decree what’s good for us, there was an assault on eggs being bad, bad, bad a while back.

Meh. We’re a bit nonplussed about it.

Meh. Given the attitudes of our current crop of billionaires, I’m beginning to think this would be a good opportunity for someone in the GOP to co-sponsor such an idea with AOC. Gates, Buffet, etc. are all good with a slow bleed of us proles. I say let’s get on with it. It’s the slow boil of the frog that will kill us anyway, but they’ll peel those of us at the bottom off first. Why not just push legislation right on through to flush those bastards out, especially their billionaire fellow travelers who keep hush-hush about it. These billionaires, with all their…billions…depend on those of us doing well but barely staying one step ahead of the socialists to do the heavy lifting. The donating, the political fighting, etc. F ’em. I’ll even volunteer a slogan for the effort, free of charge. “There is a great deal of ruin in a nation. Let’s get on with it!”

With 7 eggs you have the beginning of a fibonacci sequence: 1,1,2,3
[ Returns from fridge, having checked that the eggs are still correctly aligned. ]

True. But given the limitations of the container, I’m not seeing how you could:
1) Arrange the eggs such that the sequence is clear
while also satisfying:
2) maintaining some balance of both the eggs (by mass) without creating some other OCD problem
Example (key being E=egg, X=empty space):
EXEXEE
XEEEXX
or
EXEXEE
XXEEEX
Unless there’s some other arrangement that meets requirements 1 & 2 that I’m not seeing.

Yes. Yet oddly it doesn’t seem to apply to the way I use language in my posts. At least not until after I hit the “Post” button. And no, “Preview” doesn’t seem to help me that much in this regard. I think it’s the lack of commitment that I subconsciously find contemptible.

Now that the eggs have been properly aligned (are you sure?), we have this:

What is more frightening to me is that we paid for their “education” and we continue to pay to pump this BS into the heads of young people such that they really believe this crap. Serious young people believe this. They might not be all-in on proposals such as this right now but given the proper social pressure, over the proper amount of time, even the “conservative” young will fall in line. That is what is frightening. There is a great deal of ruin in a nation. Let’s just get on with it. The sooner we get there the sooner we can get back.
Does anyone else leave the eggs in the box to keep the C of G as close as possible to the centre of the box? Of course it’s not always possible with a 6 or 12-egg box to have it on the centre. With a 15-egg box you can always do it, but then I have to try to minimise the moment of inertia too, by keeping the eggs as close as possible to the C of G.
Does anyone else…
It’s all coming out now.
@WTP
Keep the faith, brother! The war for civilization is fought on many fronts, and wins from Team Sane are basically invisible while losses are front and center in our minds.
Never forget that the internet rewards stupidity and our society is still learning how to deal with this damned thing. We see dispiriting, tyrannical idiocy every day but the strong and wise are numerous and still have something to say. I often feel as you’ve expressed and want to burn the whole thing down and start anew. And, while a shooting war is still an even bet, we cannot lose hope.
This fight will never end or lessen. The price of freedom, despite popular belief, has not dropped to “$1.05”, but remains “eternal vigilance”.

This. I’m a bit irritated on this subject as late last week I was taking the 18-egg carton out of the fridge and damn near lost the remaining three as what small-ish item had been sitting on top slipped forward so as to add further weight to the front-loaded egg carton, which given the unexpected (to me) weight distribution nearly ended on the floor. As I was unable to immediately locate a rod smaller than the size of my thumb, I decided to just let it go.
Listen up, everybody. This is how you place your eggs:
1). Remove carton full of eggs from grocery sack.
2). Check weather, paying particular attention to humidity.
3). Open fridge door.
4). Remove curious cat from fridge he just climbed into.
5). If ambient humidity is over 20%, move carton of Greek yogurt you bought because it’s In, but that nobody ate, 3 inches to the left. Move bottle of kombucha, that you bought because it’s In, but that nobody ate, two inches to the right.
6). Remove cat from fridge. Offer cat Greek yogurt.
7). Cat having fled to hide under bed, align eggs along magnetic north-south line.
8). Consider cleaning out fridge.
9). Come to your senses, close fridge, and go read David Thompson.
8). Consider cleaning out fridge.
Heh.
Goodness, wonder the over/under of how long this relationship will last?
This is how you place your eggs:
No, all wrong.
1. Go to grocery store egg section.
2. See eggs, remember that anything that comes out of a combination vagina, rectum, and urethra is not not fit for human consumption.
3. Go home, throw egg holder in fridge away, put something edible in the now free egg place. If egg holder is molded in, use it to store loose change and/or ammo.
