Popeye vs Tintin vs Pooh

Actually that’s such a ridiculous concept I might watch it.

In many US rural areas, home internet connections have a monthly cap

And suburban, and urban. I’ve never lived anywhere that didn’t have a cap.

I still have the T-Mobile G1 phone plan.

Man that was a great phone.

My plan isn’t quite that old, but it’s getting up there. They recently increased my price by a few dollars per line. Then they tried to get me to move to a current plan, which turned out to be 20% higher price for less return. I had to try not to burst out laughing at the poor guy’s face.

I’ve been with TMo for more than 20 years–they’re the only carrier I’ve ever used–but if my price goes up again I’m jumping ship.

I still don’t know if a USB micro or mini is the one that charges my PS4 controller

It’s Micro-B, to be specific.

Maybe we should chip in and buy a second robot.

Hear me out: three robots.

You don’t actually give the card to the employees, do you?

Typically when I go through a drive thru, I hand my card to someone who then leans back inside to swipe/tap/whatever it, then they hand it back. So yes, commonly I do give my card to an employee for at least a few seconds.

During 2020-2022 more of them were in the habit of placing the PIN pad at the window so it could be reached by customers from their cars, but it wasn’t designed to be used that way and I’m sure it caused other issues.

What’s France?

“Wester Germany”

If you wrap the TV in tinfoil, it’ll be a faraday cage and block all WiFi

I just keep my TV embedded in a block of lead.

Honestly any parts you buy today probably won’t be much good in 30 years.

At least not when AGP comes to town.

Glenn Danzig was born with the perfect name for an 80s metal band

FYI Danzig is his stage name. His actual last name is Anzalone.

I really hate to say this, but Lubuntu.

it’s a lightweight XFCE version of Ubuntu

Do you mean Lubuntu, or Xubuntu? Lubuntu uses LXQt.

Rail gun hockey sounds entertaining

“And I suppose the Pitch-O-Matic 5000 was just a modified howitzer.”

That’s why I only use “*******” for mine. With the number, it’s more secure.

I guess it works because I can’t see the password.

Has science gone too far?

Science isn’t about why, it’s about why not.

Yes but, how did people know that time went sunwise before the sun?

Back before the solar system was fully formed, it was called “gaswise”.
