My first email was [email protected]. When aol became insufferable and a challenger appeared, I made [email protected].

Gmail lets you add "."s anywhere and it’ll still work, so all my spammy or whatever things I sign up for are [email protected] or some random variation. Makes it easy to delete all the junk.

Blue, no, yellow.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHH

“Nobody ain’t doin’ nothing’ wrong”.

I’ve always heard it more as “ain’t nobody doin’ nothing wrong”

…“Don’t not go there” over “Do go there”…

So many tour guides for cities say things like “do not skip going to” or similar. It’s just a linguistic choice.

Mulva?

Which direction do you move your finger to access the next song on your phone when. Looking at a play list.

Your finger moves up then taps the one you want.

You could just as easily say that next should be up.

Both are wrong.

Next should be left, volume should be up / down.

Having grown up in the tape era, the right button being next / fast forward just make sense.

I can see on a screen that you’d scroll down to get to the bottom of a playlist, but isn’t your finger moving up?

This is the classic problem of inverted vertical controls or not?

Just avoid it altogether and make the back / skip button left / right respectively, and volume be up / down which just makes obvious sense.

The knob and buttons are separate controls. One controlled the frequency on the radio, one controlled the inputs.

The question was: which one do you think the knob controlled, frequency or inputs?

Dang, I got 3.15, 1% and 47%… What does it mean!?

Was gonna say, I don’t smoke but I was in upstate NY and a guy gave me a $20 to grab him a pack of smokes from a corner store while I was running in to grab a snack, and I thing I got like $1 and change back. I was appalled.

My state of residence restricts access to certain sites. It’s all bullshit.

Anyway… The ISP is either a common carrier or a content provider. Pick a fucking lane. You can’t have half and half. Either you are responsible for ALL content provided or NONE.

If you choose none then you MUST NOT restrict access to any content.

If you chose ALL then you may restrict content based on what you are willing to take responsibility for. But in that case if someone does something illegal with content you provided you are liable.

You are an idiot bro. Troll face lends credibility to pedo rings? No.

They likely used better equipment. I’ve done the same and a black co-worker explained that black hair is much coarser than white hair so they must use much sharper shears and keep them in top shape. Your typical (white) barber shop would use shears well past when they are too dull to cut black hair in an acceptable way but work well enough for the average white customer, but sharp shears leave hair much healthier and give a cleaner cut.

Or garlic TBH

They did in the 90s too. Even in the 80s and 70s locking steering columns were a thing. I never understood the steering wheel locks.

The loose meat thing looks a lot like a sloppy Joe to me, but I’ve never heard of it before

The thing that drives me bonkers is that ounces is both a volume and mass measurement, and they aren’t the same for water.

Ummm… It’s 2/3 cup, and that is a standard measurement. But maybe that wasn’t the best example. Let’s say 2/3 of 1/4 cup. Well that’s 2/12 or 1/6 cup which is far from common. However a cup is 48 tsp, so 1/6 cup is 8 tsp.

I mean it’s dumb as hell but it does work.

The Metric system is easier though.

Ah yes, I’ll have 0.8 metric eggs please.

Nearly. I’m counting 19, but that’s close enough IMO.
