I needed that explanation like I need a hole in the neck.

Surely, someone should’ve seen Barb and my acquaintances and give them
[first**name**][lastname]@server.comemail addresses.On a similar topic to your story, my mother worked at a high school when I was young, and in her second marriage her last name was Dick. Only took a couple weeks for her to go back to going by her maiden name at the school.

We need a POC on a bill, but Teddy is pretty cool too. My third favorite Republican.
- Comment on stroke confirmed 1 week ago:
I actually think it’s a pretty big miss that we didn’t have a $250 bill planned for the country’s 250th anniversary. Inflation makes a $250 bill reasonable.
Of course Trump on the bill is an abomination, but a $250 Harriet Tubman or Paul Revere or Sam Adams would be pretty dope.

Gold increases in value. The dollar is decreasing in value.
Most of gold “increasing in value” is really just the dollar decreasing.

Considering the community, I deserve the downvotes

By purchasing them.

Reminds me of the original iPhone and the 3.5mm audio jack that was too “deep” for normal headphones.
- Comment on Anon is incompatible 2 weeks ago:
compatibility issues with some USB cables
I’d like to hear more about this. I have a theory that as great as USB-C is for consistency, the fact that it shares a connector with Thunderbolt (to say nothing about the different versions of Thunderbolt) introduces a level of uncertainly when looking at a USB-C connector.
- it can be a “charge-only” cable (USB 2.0)
- it can charge slowly, or quickly
- it can be a USB-C cable
- it can be Thunderbolt 3 / USB 4.0
- it can be active, or passive
- it can be Thunderbolt 4
- it can be Thunderbolt 5
I’m certainly not trying to discount your experience. I’m sure you ran into significant problems. But in general I continue to believe that the general public may not have the right “flavor” of USB-C cable to do what they are trying to do in a given situation.

So even though it’s an alteration, it’s still exactly how the comic was originally designed.
I get what you’re saying, but there’s something funny about your comment that is basically saying “even though it’s different, it’s the same.”

I was permabanned when, on a story about the IDF torturing a 1 year old to get his dad to talk, I said ‘maybe the terrorists [against Israel] have a point.’

I think part of why the internet sucks now is we’ve grown accustomed to too much for free.
The $10 I spend on Kagi is the best subscription I have, and one of the only ones I still keep.

Probably a geolocation device as well. Be careful out there.

I was just referring to an old internet joke that was in the same vein as this post.

Whatever works for you. Not going to fly in my house. Plus, again, YouTube isn’t that important.

Acceptance of ads, yes.

Keyboard and mouse control for a living room or bedroom TV isn’t high on the wife approval scale.

I’d argue that the id.Buzz actually existing makes more alike the old busses from the 50s and 60s.
- Comment on A modest proposal 3 months ago:
No doubt. In response to such a joke, boomers would take credit for a time when the military was successful. My reply is an attempt to preemptively take the wind out of their sails.
- Comment on A modest proposal 3 months ago:
I don’t think Vietnam is views as easy nor was it successful.

Funny, works for my wife too. And I consider her speaking to me to be the ‘pro.’

Just as funny as when Scrubs did it.
- Comment on How much RAM is in your average EV car, and is it DDR5? 4 months ago:
The verge Vergecast podcast did a piece on RAM, and it’s well worth a listen. They talk about all sorts of RAM related things, the RAM in a Cybertruck being one of them. Sorry, I don’t remember the details but I remember it being lower than I thought; 8GB, maybe 16gb. Give it a listen.
