Clement's strong to the finish, 'cause he eats his spinach!
I yam wat I yam.
Now we just need Olive Oyl shouting, "Oh Popeye".
When I was a kid I grew up in a mining village, or "company town" though not like the ones in coal country, and people got paid in real money and not company script. (reference: 16 Tons not written by but sang by Tennessee Ernie Ford) Yes, dear people, I'm older than dirt, which @barfle invented.
Anywho, we had a "commissary" which would equate to a general store in days of old. One day there popped up on the shelf Popeye Spinach, a tiny thing as I recall, for the sum of 50 cents per can. Had a pic of Popeye on the can. Well, 50 cents was a fair sum of money, but I was intrigued and asked my Mom to buy me one. I never figured to open it or actually eat it. She basically said no way. lol.

Oh mom. How can you deny your son at a chance for healthy tin can food?!
I guess you over came this some how because your history of attacking the redwood trees of Florida post hurricane is legendary on this forum.

Well, she's a Buddhist, so how about a place in the Realms of Samsara . . .

I have a cd cabinet and a surround cabinet full of cd sets with dvd or blu ray or standalones, this is all my outsize surround stuff, on the floor under my printer table
I remember Popeye Spinach. Seems to have been short-lived.
Clearly, you need a better shelf for the odd-sized stuff. There’s a fair-sized open space in my shelving that is occupied by clutter (next week, honest) that is intended to house a record cleaner. There will be some room for material that’s up to 24” high.
Popeye Spinach is alive & well on all the grocers in my area. Bought a can maybe 3 months ago.

Seriously there is nowhere else in the room these can go, i’m lucky they’re allowed where they are
When I was a toddler one the two things my mother could guarantee to get me to eat was Spinach!
....and the other was bread/toast with Marmite on it (not sure if you can get Marmite anywhere other than the UK) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite
Don’t the Aussies have their own version “vegemite”?
Yeah. Googling I see that vegemite is thicker. Never eaten either one though.
Yes its sort of Marmite-ish I prefer Marmite. Weirdly I did a 3 month contract for an Electronics company opposite the Bass factory in Burton-on-Trent where Marmite was originally made with the yeast remnants from brewing beer!

I just tried to listen to the new Deep Purple. So I found a 24 bit 48k downloadable version. The "master" copy, right? -5.4 LUFS. That's not a typo. -5.4 LUFS. It sounded so bad I had to pull out the meter. So... not only are the volume wars still on but, would you look at that!
Thought I found a new way to crash the computer at first! (Hadn't heard that specific distortion artifact before.) 8 bit 32k would have been overkill for this.
