I'm ready now. Fuck sterling, fuck the vetos, fuck the opt-outs, etc. Yeah, the special arrangement we had was amazing and put us in a privileged position and we'll be diminished if we rejoin without them, but that's still a far better situation than we find ourselves in now. So yeah, warts and all; I'm in.

Xerox of a Xerox, for us BoJack Horseman fans.

I read it as "chairman". I thought, "awww, adorable and anticapitalistic".

Sire!

Tony Ladruzo?

Huzzah!

ITT: Have you heard the good news about our lord and saviour, Jellyfin?

Fuck YouTube, sure, but holy shit fuck any useless dipshit who plays music off YouTube as part of a public performance, especially a goddamn funeral. That's disgusting. Utter incompetence and charlatanism to make that kind of lazy half-assed decision in that kind of situation.

Doesn't help when they publish their pages as image files, like this one does.

SpagOt.

I read that headline and thought it meant:

(Cost per Episode) = 2 × (Cost of Godzilla Movie) - $1

No, it's renewable. But... not in any practical timeframe.

Wrong again. The store owner is called Sofalings Chairmongersons Reclinerolinghamfords-Bedsington. Y'know, of the Stourbridge Reclinerolinghamfords-Bedsingtons. But they had to abbreviate. The store sells windchimes.

It feels like everyone has a story like this. I visited Osaka this one time and I was couldn't open the package that my lunch was in. This very ordinary looking salaryman approached me and without saying a word took, the package from me, ate it whole, then vomited it directly down my throat as an easily-digestible slurry fortified with immunity-boosting enzymes and developmentally-critical animo acids. He literally wouldn't stop.

Earlier this year, I did a last-minute trip to mainland Europe and I ended up using two sleeper trains: Rome-Vienna and Vienna-Amsterdam. I slept like a baby on both, and I can't being to explain the magic of lying in bed peeking through a blind at the countryside passing by outside, the strange shifts in gravity as the train rounds corners on mountain passes, and waking up in a new country, stepping out of your bedroom into the very centre of a thriving city. The costs were about €100 each, which isn't much more than a cheap hotel room.

I cannot recommend them enough.

Fuck it, I'll bite. The reason for the +1 area code wasn't just because of the US, but they and a few other counties coming together to create a standard. +1 isn't the US, it's the North American Numbering Plan.

Remember, all sockets are Type C if you push hard enough.

Edit: this advice applies equally to USB.

I wonder how many times someone has learned something new and then the first reply they read was a link to that comic and they discovered that, too?

"You support someone who threw a soft object at someone? Well supporting an act is the same as doing an act and throwing is the same as stabbing and a soft object is the same as a knife and I am a very smart and nuanced person you would love to spend time around."

- Baggins, probably

The possibility of Reichform taking Ashfield doesn't surprise me in the least. I lived there for a while and it's one of the most beligerent, mean-spirited places I've ever known. I've lived in deprived places before but I've never known a populations so nasty.

Can you get me three cups of coffee? My first fifteen aren't cutting it.
