I'd probably convince her to register x.com and create a payment platform on it. I feel like if that one guy never did that the world would be a better place.

My prior city ran a survey on whether they should build out fiber to the homes around the city, since they were building their own fiber infrastructure anyway. Despite the city saying it would be cheaper and faster than the existing 0 or 1 options people had, my fellow residents cried communism and the city government scrapped the idea. Infuriating.

I think that's the joke, especially since the alt text asks about getting melted copper off the carpet.

Maybe they're unrelated events, and they're questioning their gender 🤨

In related news, when my older sister told our younger brother she was pregnant, he was very excited to be a grandpa.

It has a 60Hz electric waveform in, and it produces visible light, which is in part a ~500THz wave.

Yes, and there's actually some interesting results from this too. Pain medicine marketed as targeting specific pains, such as headaches or toothaches, are often just generic ibuprofen or acetaminophen, but there is some evidence that the pain medicine will be more effective if you believe it is targeting your specific pain. So whenever my wife wants an Advil I always tell her that it's a special Advil that is for whatever specific thing she complained about.

The Costco multivitamins have the faintest hint of the smell and taste of those old vitamins, and it always gives me a rush of nostalgia.

They have the rounded bodies like east coast daddy long legs (harvestmen), but eight legs like the west coast daddy long legs (cellar spiders)? I'm beginning to think this Far Side comic isn't that accurate

I must say, the legs on that last bird are amazingly accurate, perhaps the best depiction of any bird I've seen!

The west coast city I live in is just a little further north than Philadelphia and has a very Mediterranean climate so this puts that into perspective for me.

I actually loved my Kin Twom. Didn't require a data plan, had a decent camera, was a joy to text on.
