Flat Saturn confirmed!

Party A gets 40% of the vote

Party A wins because they get the majority

Just going to point out, 40% is not a majority. In this case they have a plurality.

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.

OK but did it really flop or where they expecting it to sell a morbillion units weekly?

From another article:

Sources say that Ubisoft was expecting The Lost Crown to sell similarly to the biggest Metroidvania’s in the market, with millions of units sold in a relatively short space of time. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has sold approximately one million units at the time of writing.

We can’t even take care of that, how could we care for an Yggdrasil?

“Mom I want an Yggdrasil”

“We have Yggdrasil at home”

It’s wild how conservatives have been led to believe that people shouldn’t make a livable wage doing whatever job needs to be done.

Not just conservatives. My stepdad is far from being one, but he lives in a fantasy reality where “no one in the 80s made a living or supported a family working fast food or running a register.” (I paraphrased a tiny bit, but this is a near-direct quote from him.)

Marvin the Martian as Sauron.

“Earth shattering kaboom” feels rather apt here.

Step 0: Invent the universe

Chewbacca is Bigfoot

There was an out-of-continuity comic where Han Solo crashed the Falcon on Earth; Chewbacca survives and becomes the basis for the Bigfoot legend.

Sounds like they’re trying to put out a titanium fire using only a bucket of water.

I have a new phrase to use in the future.

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.

I like the edges and corners of a cake/brownie

You might want to try this.

de-lived

I prefer “inhumed”.

Maybe we should chip in and buy a second robot.

Hear me out: three robots.

shit down the government

I don’t know if this was a typo, but it’s rather appropriate either way.

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.

Gotta imagine that ladder was covered in ice for much of the year.

Assuming this is in fact in Chernivtsi, as the post title says, it’s not too bad there. Mean temp falls below freezing for three months out of the year.

Still, probably not fun to climb when there is ice…
