This comes in so handy so often for me... very underrated IMO.

Braums Dairy Stores

Though they have only one dairy and 300 miles out is their limit for good reasons.

Arby's curly fries.

Apparently I was the only one left who still liked the potato cakes, since they got rid of them about a year ago.

Nope, I loved them, and I'm disappointed they're gone.

Of course, that's probably why they're gone.  Whenever I start liking something, it seems, that thing gets discontinued.  (This is especially true of new soda flavors.)

You should've seen the happy dance I did when Haagen-Dazs started making Midnight Cookies 'n' Cream again.

Every so often, I parse your screenname as Abe Fro Man 329.
As in, you have an afro.
So, with that in mind...

I'd actually put that in the "minor things that bother you" thread. Most times I am intentionally NOT responding to the last message, but to an earlier one.

Same here.

I can't think of a great example, but I often use it to find more recent messages that I've moved into a folder so that I don't have to search a specific folder.

This happens to me with pizza. Every great pizza place in Oklahoma goes out of business right after I discover it:
- Sauced (Norman): closed
- Rodney's (Purcell): owner retired
- Sauced (Oklahoma City): same company as the Sauced in Norman; burned down
- Pryor's (Norman): closed during the pandemic, appears to have reopened in Goldsby of all places, but I haven't had the chance to go back

appears to have reopened in Goldsby of all places

The worst kind of irony!

Similar to the Outlook message, the way this forum and some others notify you if someone else has posted since you began writing your reply when you click "Post". It can save a pointless response to a question that's already been answered, or allow you to update your response based on new information. Super helpful.

Someone actually posted about that in the "minor things that bother you" thread recently. I like having it, but apparently it can be turned off if it really bothers someone.

Really? In my experience, it's not that common to have that message come up. It's rare to post while someone else is around here. If it happened all the time, I would understand. I absolutely think it's worth having around.

I imagine how often you see it depends on how frequently you post and whether you tend to be on the forum during the peak evening hours. On a few occasions, I've gotten it multiple times on the same post.

Yes. I got it twice posting on the overrated thread earlier today. But it's not a big deal. I review my post if I want, or just hit enter again.

Grandfather clocks as decorations, but not as ways to tell the time.

[Scott5114]

My parents have a wall-mounted grandfather clock. It looks nice, but it basically only ever showed the correct time when company was staying with us. Neither of my parents ever feel like winding it up.

Heck, I wouldn't mind us going to worldwide UTC ('Zulu'/Military) time instead and adjust our personal schedules accordingly.  No semi-annual clock changes, everyone yells "Happy new year!" at the same time and no time zone confusions.  Instead of it now being 1:20pm (1320) Central Daylight Time (UTC -5) as I post this, it would be 1820Z.

There already is UTC and people who need it already use it.

Oh, OK.  But, like, more than just him?
