How the turntables have turned π radians. Maybe. We’ll see.

It has always been thus. Something like 20 years ago, edits from Congressperson’s DNS entries kept getting caught editing their (or more likely their boss’s) profile without knowing how to hide their identity.

Paying the Apple tax is a known part of the deal. It’s not always worth it for an individual but it is nice having an Apple Store in every major city (at least in the U.S.). I got my mom a MacBook because she lives 45 minutes away and I was sick of being her tech support for an operating system I don’t use regularly.

I got my stepdad a Chromebook last year when he asked me to fix his laptop. I said sure and then it was this giant 32 bit antique running Windows Vista. I was just like, “I would rather buy a Chromebook than connect this thing to my WiFi network.”

I use all the operating systems, by the way. I have Arch on my Steam Deck, I guess. More of a Fedora man myself but to each their own. I ain’t judging.

I forgot about Dre but I was fairly comprehensive.

In fairness, I poisoned one food item in every music executive’s house as punishment for them being thieves.

I admit I didn’t watch the video — I’ve trained YouTube’s algorithm well at this point and don’t want Tesla content — but what the fuck is a predictive odometer? The tires roll a certain distance. We’ve had odometers for like 75 years.

I’m glad I’m too old to use Slack but for video games. I’d rather eat a bowl of hair than have more notifications.

They could just shut down Meta and it would take a week for everyone to adjust.

I don’t want to know who any of you people are. None of us saw anything. And if so much as a squirrel asks, I’m asking for a lawyer.

Probably but they’ve designated others to do it. Like a trusted organization (Wired or The NY Times) can verify people. Some of the developers seemed hostile.

But who gives a fuck about a blue check anyway? Even before Elon, it was a gag on Twitter when some fucking moron who interned at Reason or some shit got a big head about it and wrote as a clown to be laughed at. “Some personal news, I’m now the assistant associate dipshit at the newspaper they try to give you for free when you get on the subway.”

I’m glad we’re putting all our eggs in this alpha-ass-level software (with tons of promise! Maybe!) instead of like high speed rail or whatever.

Thank you for doing the math.

The advancements in battery tech are obviously great news but I still have no idea how you’d power a “traditional” charging station (with several terminals) for EVs.

There’s plenty of time to find a solution to that before today’s experimental battery tech becomes ubiquitous in cars but power generation and infrastructure seems like it’ll be the bottleneck. I haven’t done the math or anything but it just seems like 5m charging of more than one or two cars at once would strain the grid that exists today.

Teenagers do all those things constantly.

Telling 15 year-olds what to do famously always works.

Follow up: check out this bountiful harvest. It came in two boxes.

I have never heard of HP sauce but thank you for giving me something else to search online.

Google doesn’t work anymore but it seems like ketchup but Worcestershire? Is that close?

I don’t think steak sauce is a thing in South Louisiana. Prime rib gets a horseradish/sour cream sauce. Au jus is common with steak. But we also tend to eat more seafood than beef so the standard sauces are something like Crystal Hot Sauce, Tabasco, etc. Ketchup for making cocktail sauce. (A lot of places serve oysters or whatever with a little cup of horseradish and you decide how spicy your cocktail sauce will be by adding ketchup and stuff.)

I’ve definitely eaten more calamari than steaks. So, by no means is this a universal concept. I’ve just never seen anyone put A1 on anything.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a bottle of A1 sauce in real life. What is it? I’m American but from Louisiana and we have different sauces.
