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.

Step 0: Invent the universe

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.

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.

Trump filled the compliment today

trump could make the compliment and he will back him

I’m guessing “compliment” was supposed to be “complaint”?

Boeing introduces: “free range seating!”

Ryanair has entered the chat.

What’s next, are they gonna do a Watchmen comic or something?

Then I bet they’ll make a game based on that comic.

Looking forward to summer blockbuster hit Cocaine Shark.

There is crossover potential with Deep Blue Sea.

What happens if you pixelate his DUI records?

Papers, please.

What’s France?

“Wester Germany”

Preferably, max security prison, brick over the entrance

Amontillado, my favorite beverage.

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.

a Red Storm Rising movie adaptation

This being one of my absolute favorite military fiction novels, I very much fear Hollywood screwing it up. At the same time, I’d love to see a miniseries, maybe directed by Ridley Scott.

I won’t lie I was super tempted to add a pro toolkit

I say do it (if you have the money, of course). I got it and while it has far more tools/bits than I use regularly, it’s been invaluable.

Remembering that one time McConnell filibustered himself because he knew he wouldn’t be able to pull off a power play against Obama.

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

At least not when AGP comes to town.
