@CStamp @tankgrrl so, AFAIK, yes, and… so yeah, they usually have two main spice levels… meh, and hot. But they also have secret ‘fuck you’ hot, IYKYK. But aside from that the actual mixture profile is different regionally, across the heat spectrum.
@tankgrrl Yeah, I'm kinda curious, as it's not just kissing Trump's arse, but it's the constituents that still kinda demand they play the part… So they may not want to carry water, but they will if they wanna get the vote. Trump (et al) have basically permanently instilled violent/vitriolic/racist fear into 1/3 of the voting population. That's not easy to undo.
Shittier and more expensive. It's the Corporate America way. And the Ticketmaster way. (Teaser: Taylor Swift 2024 shows were 87% cheaper in the rest of the world.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u--se25_px8
@tankgrrl oh! And they had ‘booster stands’ for the wee’uns which were in the same wood/brass design. Even the outside was beautiful. A dark chocolate brown, with curves where hard corners would be. The AP logo was also impeccably designed. The building still stands, but is unrecognisable, as it has been broken up into a low-rent strip minimall with an Alta beauty store, and two other generic shops.
