sips quietly from a yard

Doctor Who and Star Trek would be fun.

You can experience this in comic form, at least.

“Quick and painless, or slow and horrible?”

That painting should be old enough to be in the public domain.

It wouldn’t be Getty’s first time stealing an image.

It is 2010. It is the year of the Linux desktop.

TAFKAP (The Artist Formerly Known as Prince)

I think it would be more fitting to replace “artist” with… Well, a number of options apply here.

The reason it’s used so much is that it’s an arid environment just outside the “studio zone”.

Vasquez Rocks is inside the studio zone, according to your link.

Didn’t HMD make a couple of those too?

Yes, the HMD Skyline has an easily removable backplate and battery.

I’m a bit surprised that they didn’t crack down harder after that incident

That incident was 15 years ago It’s entirely possible that they did tighten things up, but relaxed those changes after several years. Probably not relaxed now, though…

doesn’t it usually only last a day or two?

From the article:

U.S. flag code dictates that flags remain lowered for the 30-day period from the death of a former president. But that code isn’t mandatory, so once he becomes president, Trump could technically override it.

So I gather the answer to your question is “yes, but also no”.

Popeye vs Tintin vs Pooh

Actually that’s such a ridiculous concept I might watch it.

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.

This is why i want a freakin 3d printer fr

Your local library may have one to print things for you. Saves that forward investment of materials and (some) skill.

Trump filled the compliment today

trump could make the compliment and he will back him

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