My family just realized we accidentally ate some worms—and probably eggs too—in our food.
It was a chocolate gingerbread cake. Everything looked totally fine on the outside, even after a few bites, until someone cut it open and saw what was actually going on inside.

We picked these up at a local bakery—they weren't expired and were kept in a plastic bag sitting out for a bit.

Any reason to freak out?
Should we hit up a doctor?
Or will this just sort itself out?
What kind of fallout are we looking at if there is any?

Thanks

Regarding whether you can advertise the sale of the book itself, I said personal sales (like selling your own stuff) aren't banned on the forum, but since we know you're selling a copy, advertising the book is off the table.

So anyway...
the other day I'm out photocopying some receipts and two cops walk in—one hands over a copy of "modernization of US government" by John K... I don't remember the exact details, but from what I gathered, the guy's just copying it for his daughter who's in law school. 🤣

And here we are acting all high and mighty, nitpicking over some copy that even the guy selling it had to pay for via the photocopy shop.

Who's actually policing the print shops cranking out copyrighted material?
The cops?
Yeah, sure, while they're busy handing over copyrighted books to their kids... ☕

Typical American logic—steal a candy bar, end up in jail; rob a factory, become a respected CEO.

And no, Brian Edwards6, don't tell me why we shouldn't report the cops, because the real issue lies with the print shops making a killing off copyrighted works.

Everyone knows it, too—they're just playing dumb.

But hey, let's keep coming for this guy here. Sure, the police are working overtime to stop this damn piracy, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work—these print shops make the Sicilian Mafia look like toddlers... 🤣

p.s. You're a good person and an honest cop, and I get your frustration with the real world—when you can't "clean up these dens of evil" print shops in real life, you try to influence this ugly world a little through the forum. Damn, the little guy always gets screwed...

There's a Nike store near the park, relatively close to that spot, and if I recall, there’s some other sports shop nearby on Fifth Avenue—maybe Rust Sport? 🤔

edit: I did a little digging online and it looks like Dick's carries Nike, so those shops are out, but Rust Sport seems to have a huge selection of jerseys, even older ones. Apparently, there's a shop near the gallery opposite the Greek and that Important center right by Grand Central Terminal.

Did some digging myself—looks like that one in New York City is the Adidas Originals line, sort of a retro thing, probably why they don't carry the standard ones.
Thanks for the heads-up, I'll check it out.

Best,

Hmm, swung by the Adidas in Downtown the other day—zero jerseys in stock. Not even a single one...

Hey there!

Anyone know where I can snag an authentic Germany jersey for the upcoming World Cup around here?

Thanks 🙏

Hey there!

I've got a Dell Vostro A840.
Can I actually upgrade this thing to Windows 7?
The reason I'm asking—since Dell's official site doesn't seem to have any Windows 7 drivers listed yet—is because I'm a bit nervous.
What's the worst that could happen if I try? Bad graphics? Or will it just...
not work at all? Total system crash?
The machine is only about a year old—shouldn't Windows already have a
ton of "legacy" drivers built-in for older hardware by now?

Thanks
