  They tried doing the same thing in the UK with a comedy duo, Mitchell (PC) and Webb (Mac). They were best known at the time for a Channel 4 show, Peep Show, where Mitchell played an educated, qualified, no-nonsense, go-getting, straight-talking realist who was a bit awkward and frumpy, while Webb played an entitled, self-aggrandising, directionless, scatterbrained half-wit convinced he deserved greatness… I forget where I was going with this.

  Once we get the Americans to write the date properly we should probably agree on the symbols we’re using as decimal and thousand delimitation.

  Your cognitive ability changes with you. Your human thoughts, emotions, memories, reasoning, skills, understanding and desires are destroyed.

  Whenever someone tells me they’re trans I always say “don’t fucking talk to me. You’re disgusting.”

  In fairness I say that other people too.

  This used to work when the guy worked for the restaurant and had, like, three pizzas to deliver and an empty backseat, but now they’ll have six different bags with food from nine takeaways organised with four different delivery apps and doing some realtime Travelling Salesman maths.

  I like it. The “progress bar” style fill is nice and clear, and it’s so much better than having an icon with a number next to it. “BuT iT dOeSn’T lOoK LiKe A bAtTeRy” what, do you think your phone is full of AAs? A plain oblong is actually closer to the mark.

  If you just want great scrambled eggs without adding anything else and can be arsed: separate the yolks and cook the whites to your preferred consistency. Then, turn off the heat and whisk in the yolks straight away. The residual heat cooks through but by cooking them less than the whites you get a lot more flavour.

  This still works. Most debit and credit cards can still be used to authorise offline payments up to a set limit, though it’s kinda of moot if the PDQ’s battery is dead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This depends on where and why. I know that in some parts of the Carribbean, for example, most towers will only last a day or two, but there are some that can last weeks with satellite backhauls providing minimal service to large areas.

  Dihydrogen Monoxide can make your lungs shut down, killing you, and if gets into your blood it can cause your brain to swell, also killing you. Cancer, Coronavirus and Polio all thrive in environments rich in hydrogen monoxide. If a building’s foundations are exposed to dihydrogen monoxide it can lead to structural collapse, and it causes painful blistering and instant cell death if flesh is exposed to it in its gaseous form. Despite this, the food industry - clamouring for profits above all other considerations - uses dihydrogen monoxide throughout the food production process, meaning this dangerous chemical is present in almost all processed foods.

  Fuck it, I’ll take all the “riz”, “no cap”, “frfr” bullshit over ANY of the other slang of the last thirty years or so. At least it makes sense.

  Meanwhile, their Grandmas in the 2010s: Kids these days are too woke, they never play outside. I hate that Greasy Thunberg or whatever she calls herself, so preachy. No-one walks anywhere any more it’s so sad. This Facebook user I love posts AI pictures of kittens and says immigrants are eating our pets and universities are run by Muslim terrorists. I saw some kids outside the other day and was terrified so we’re getting the city to close the park and get rid of the bus shelters. All music sounds the same these days like it’s made in a factory, not like the real music we had - kids these days don’t even know what Motown is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unpopular popular opinion - fiat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, my response to this argument is always the same: I work in IT, how do I barter for potatoes? If you’re a potato farmer, how many potatoes is a hip transplant worth? Maybe assigning worth to things with an abstract unit isn’t such a terrible idea after all…
