How are you supposed to pronounce this service? Because I keep trying and it keeps sounding like sext.

I meant that’s the only place it should be learned about, and not plastered on the wall. I’d gladly shove all the other fairy tales in there too

They should learn about Christianity and Islam in their history textbooks. That’s fucking it.

Well will it run Winamp because I inadvertently read the title as Winamp and now I need it again

The magnets in HDDs are some of the strongest magnets you can find. I rip those out when I can, but I’m a packrat

Because the Revolutionary War was too easy

Can we fast forward to the Hard Lessons part because it’s going to be hilarious

The musician MØ was asked how to pronounce her stage name once, and she pointed out its just her initials (Marie Ørsted) so there’s not really a right pronunciation to MØ.

I still don’t have a clue how Ø is pronounced, like in Ørsted.

Frankly I would extend that distrust to this little miscrosoft button too. With no proof or alternative in mind, it just feels like that button would feed the data to an AI before deleting it.

He was pretty alright when he killed that nazi

You triangulate the signal and pass the coordinates to artillery teams.

In the US I’ve noticed a difference between west coast and the rest of the country. West coast tends to use these circle bandsaws to cut circles into the pavement, everywhere else uses a circular saw to cut rectangles into the pavement. Either way, these are the things you want to be stopped right on top of, especially if you’re on a side street or left turn where you might get skipped if it doesn’t sense you. If you’re on a motorcycle, try to scoot up a bit so a car can be on them. They probably won’t sense a motorcycle.

President meeseeks would be fire. He’d get shit done for people.

Imagine telling this to a cancer patient shopping for a wig.

I suppose with Cox we could be talking about TV or Internet. If it’s Internet I’ve heard it called a duopoly. The cable TV company and phone company both had wires running to every house when the internet showed up on the scene. Typically these are the only two options available in an area, and when you zoom in further usually one of them has given up on a particular street or neighborhood, and you better just go with the one that has decent wires.

We sort of had protections in place at the phone company level for a while to stop this. ILEC and CLEC laws forced Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (the big phone co in the area, owns the lines on the poles) to share their last mile phone lines with a Competitive LEC, granted the CLEC shells up for their own equipment and puts it in a special section of the ILECs central offices. Bam, competition.

The problem is that the laws only specified copper, so when fiber rolled around, ILECs specifically targeted their upgrades to cripple the competition. The houses still would do DSL on copper, but the backhaul for the CO would get upgraded to fiber and the competition would have to also upgrade their handoff on their equipment to be fiber or just lose all their customers in the area. They would also set up fiber fed cabinets halfway closer to your house and offer VDSL. CLECs weren’t allowed in those cabinets and could only offer 1/5th the speed on regular old ADSL due to distance. There were a lot of dirty tricks…the laws that were supposed to help just let the big company absolutely batter the smaller ones once they started their fiber upgrades.

It’s essentially this moment, but for gamers. At least it should be.

I’ll never forget the distrust morrowind taught me when, 30 seconds after leaving the starting town, a dude falls out of the sky and dies, and you can loot levitation scrolls that will just as quickly kill you at your current level if you try one. It was immediately trying to trick you into dying, and it was great

Can you imagine the outrage if they simply remade Morrowind?

“Bethesda has gone woke! Not only did they make the elves dark, but they made those same dark elves the slave owners! Literally unplayable!” Even Vivec having two different skin colors would melt their minds.

For a good time, check out Funky Forest[NSFW] and Yaji and Kita. Utterly mental, both of them
