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.

Marvin the Martian as Sauron.

“Earth shattering kaboom” feels rather apt here.

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.

They’re from Idaho.

Bonus points: the guy is from Illinois.

Maybe we should chip in and buy a second robot.

Hear me out: three robots.

Where’s a good place to start? Is there some overarching narrative or can you read them in any order?

While there are myriad reading orders that have been devised over the years, my method with long extended series such as this one is simple: I consume them in the order in which they were produced/released.

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.

Dinner time would be around 0.7083 o-clock.

This is fairly similar to .beat time; in that system you would write it as @708. I guess you could make it @708.3 to be more specific.

I got a Rocket League key from 2016, why in the world would anyone want that?

Probably because Rocket League was removed from Steam after Epic bought the developer, and your key may still be usable on Steam.

For the longest time, I thought it was just an upgraded Wii and I already had one.

Target wasn’t helping:

We need a Wolverine version of Multiplicity with Michael Keaton.

Strong crossover potential with Batman, Birdman and Vulture…

What’s next, are they gonna do a Watchmen comic or something?

Then I bet they’ll make a game based on that comic.

E3 doesn’t exist anymore?

They threw in the towel last December.

If you went to a digital showing you even got an additional image of Anakin’s robot hand taking Padmé’s at their wedding.

The digital version also added sparks to Jango’s jetpack during the arena fight, to show it was malfunctioning.

What’s France?

“Wester Germany”

I’d hate to hear the logic they used to change that law

It was wrapped up in a big transportation budget bill, one of many amendments which were designed to cut expenses.

If you wrap the TV in tinfoil, it’ll be a faraday cage and block all WiFi

I just keep my TV embedded in a block of lead.

I no count so good.

A lot of newer cars don’t have spares, which could be seen as another grim element to the metaphor.

T did S with P and then A (23 F) got into with G

“This B needs a C in her A”
