Reduced Sodium Garbanzo Beans. [19:23] DaemonFC[m] "50% less sodium than our regular garbanzo beans", but when you looked at the label on Bush's Best regular garbanzo beans, they were by far the highest sodium of any brand on the shelf. [19:24] DaemonFC[m] In fact, the reduced sodium version only had 16% less sodium than the Walmart Great Value garbanzo beans, which were 28% less expensive. [19:24] DaemonFC[m] Most of the salt is the salt water that the vegetables are packed in, but they include it on the label even though you're supposed to pour it out. [19:25] DaemonFC[m] Then you can put the veggies in a strainer and rinse the crap out of them under the faucet to get quite a bit more out. [19:26] DaemonFC[m] By the time you do that to both Bush's Best Reduced Sodium and Great Value, they probably have about the same amount of sodium regardless, just the national brand ate up more of your money. [19:26] DaemonFC[m] schestowitz__: Commodity prices must be going crazy. [19:27] DaemonFC[m] The vegetable cans that "Great Value" veggies come in are pretty flimsy now. I think someone snuck out about 30% of the metal. [19:28] DaemonFC[m] It's Walmart, and they do things like this from time to time to keep prices down. They really hate excess packaging.

[21:20] DaemonFC[m] It was never really high up on the priority list, but for most of the spin's life, it had people who tried to make it work okay. [21:20] DaemonFC[m] Now it has people using Macs and Edge on Windows 10 as mods. [21:21] DaemonFC[m] As far as I can tell, only one guy maintaining anything significant. [21:21] DaemonFC[m] Absolute disgust. They ought to shut it down if they're going to present KDE like that. [21:22] DaemonFC[m] Right off the bat there are major things wrong with it that are simply not an issue in other distributions with KDE. [21:22] DaemonFC[m] This is just about what you'd expect from some distribution that compiled a KDE package selection and didn't fine tune any of it for the quirks of that particular underlying distribution. [21:23] DaemonFC[m] There's a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes with systemd in particular that KDE needs hacks for, and the user isn't supposed to see that, but the packages on Fedora (the showcase of systemd!) doesn't carry them, so things like power management don't work correctly. [21:24] DaemonFC[m] Logging out.... I mean, basic stuff. [21:25] DaemonFC[m] So if you want your computer to run okay, use Kubuntu.
