US stores lack items

The other day I walked outside when it begun to rain. I was caught quite surprised and went into nearby Seven Eleven to buy umbrella when it turned out they did not have, so I told them to stock up with aforementioned item just in case. The answer was muckraking:

- This is no umbrella store, man.

Why is there so much talk about goodness of capitalism in US when it lacks even basic commodities in important stores such as Seven Eleven? They have toothpaste and brushes and what have you. But for weather changes they are completely unaware.

KFC makes horrible food

Since I was brought up on no meat in diet because of religious superstition, I did not eat meat until 18 years of age. Not I eat it all the time and appreaciate extra protein so gained. A friend wanted me to try KFC and said it is famous brand here. I have seen the stupid logo but not paid attention. Today we tried.

Kentucky Fry Chicken is just chicken fried in much oil with kind of dough. Then to this you can buy fries, corn of kind or even mashed potatoes. The taste was quite horrible. Only salt and also much grease. I will not go back later.

Flickr is bad

Some friends ask me about pictures, whether I take them, put them on the web and so on. My answer to this is that it contains so many loopholes and problems that not worth trying. Example:

1. When using more than 200 pictures and you don't have "Pro" account (requires money) you can't upload more pictures, or does not show. Abhorrent!

2. Only 20M pictures can be uploaded per month.

This is also example of why Web 2.0 is no good idea. Like many other new things that promise everything or "silver bullets" as we call them here, it doesn't work out. When technology is more mature, promise more, otherwise keep quiet and don't release.
