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.

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”?

I’m colour blind and don’t see red very well.

I’m not color blind and almost didn’t see it. This was an okay idea, executed with a terrible choice of colors.

Boeing introduces: “free range seating!”

Ryanair has entered the chat.

I had to specifically mute all of my notifications because I couldn’t find out what app was causing them and it was driving me nuts.

I’ve been doing that for years. I only have a handful of apps with audio notifications, basically the most important ones that need my attention right away. Everything else gets vibrate.

Looking forward to summer blockbuster hit Cocaine Shark.

There is crossover potential with Deep Blue Sea.

I stuck with 7 for an extremely long time under similar reasoning. Like I missed win 8 completely and only got 10 in maybe 2018. And only because I needed a version of directX for work that was unsupported on 7.

I only upgraded to 10 in early 2021, and only because I had reached a point where I didn’t see another option. My next upgrade is increasingly likely to be something Linux. Every new bit of info about Win 11 just makes me want it less.

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.

Is this the one where they used footage of New York instead of London?

Yep. From the article:

Issued by Conservative Central Office (CCHQ), it has already been edited and re-uploaded after viewers spotted that one of the dystopian-looking scenes it depicted was of the New York subway rather than the London Tube.

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

T did S with P and then A (23 F) got into with G

I do love me a good Bavarian Fire Drill.
