In most restaurants I saw there was no wall in between.
This was my experience as well. I can still see it today in some older restaurants that haven’t been renovated in years, where there’s an area of the dining room with a much higher ceiling.
Popeye vs Tintin vs Pooh
Actually that’s such a ridiculous concept I might watch it.
our server is getting Gerbilled by Lemmywinks
In 10 years, this will be an XKCD comic.
Couldn’t they just move .io to a different category?
Specifically the issue is that two letter TLDs are reserved exclusively for countries/governments. So far only one exception has been made to this rule, .su for the Soviet Union. So another exemption is certainly possible.
what is the Miiverse?
It was a sort of social space Nintendo ran on the 3DS and Wii U. Kind of combination chat room and message board with a space where Miis (Nintendo avatars) could “hang out”. It could also be used to send messages though games, like you could leave a message as a sort of note in Mario Maker or Splatoon. I thought it was kind of cool, tbh.
not sure if I’m too old, too young or too poor
It was shut down in…no. 2017 was not 7 years ago. No.
Party A gets 40% of the vote
Party A wins because they get the majority
Just going to point out, 40% is not a majority. In this case they have a plurality.
In many US rural areas, home internet connections have a monthly cap
And suburban, and urban. I’ve never lived anywhere that didn’t have a cap.
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.
We can’t even take care of that, how could we care for an Yggdrasil?
“Mom I want an Yggdrasil”
“We have Yggdrasil at home”
Chewbacca is Bigfoot
There was an out-of-continuity comic where Han Solo crashed the Falcon on Earth; Chewbacca survives and becomes the basis for the Bigfoot legend.
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.
I like the edges and corners of a cake/brownie
Maybe we should chip in and buy a second robot.
Hear me out: three robots.
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.
Class: Bavarian Fire Chief
This is just my head canon, but the noise actually comes from speakers on board the ship /in the cockpit
I’m pretty sure this was explicitly addressed in at least one of the pre-Disney novels, and was somewhat entrenched with a part of the fanbase afterward.
Clock King (at least BTAS clock king, the one in the picture) can’t control time.
He did have access to a device in his second appearance that allowed him to control the flow of time, so he had the ability albeit in an indirect fashion.
I’m liking the Storm Thorgerson vibe here.
