There’s another one possible: Trick NOT Treat.

Kinda, yeah.

10 years ago was 2015. I went to buy a laptop from Dell in 2014, and they didn’t have any models with a disc drive. I looked.

Bluetooth isn’t the technology that’s come a long way, it’s still the same shit it was decades ago. It’s batteries.

I’m very sure I know more about flying an airplane than the average Lemming. I have been a pilot for 20 years and an instructor for 15. I’m not the only pilot on Lemmy but there’s not a lot of aviators among us.

I bet she cuddles extra warm.

I think audiences were ready for visiting the virtual world in 2010. Smart phones were new and cool and not sinister yet, it was possible to feel hopeful for the internet…15 years later, not so much.

The original Tron was made on a $17 million budget and made $50 million at the box office in 1982. In 1980, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back was made on a budget of $30 million and earned $550 million.

In 2010, Disney wanted their own Star Wars, so they tried making another Tron flick. Maybe they could make it stick. It made $410 million on a $170 million budget. Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith had a $113 million budget and made $903 million.

Disney has since bought and run Star Wars into the ground. Meanwhile Tron: Ares has been in production hell since 2017. And for the first time, a Tron movie is an outright failure.

Depends. If I’m in a “job starts at 7 AM” kind of place, I’ll probably have a banana for breakfast. If I’ve got time to sit around the house and eat something, maybe a bowl of cereal or oatmeal depending on the weather. On those slow Saturdays, where I’ve got the whole morning before mowing the lawn, I’ll do the pancakes and bacon routine.

the one that kills me is some genius is selling TOSLINK cables with gold plated connectors.

TOSLINK is a fiber optic standard. The whole point of it is that the cable is non-conductive.

The standards for Normal, Utility, Aerobatic and Commuter category aircraft are codified in federal law, FAR part 23.

The standards for Special Light Sport Aircraft are ASTM standards referred to by law.

It’s like getting emails from Amazon advertising products you’ve already bought. It’s like it’s running on the same algorithm that Youtube is. This guy just watched a video about neutron stars. I’ll recommend another video about neutron stars. That makes sense with video content, but not really with a lot of consumer goods. Sure Amazon, the first toilet seat was delicious, I think I’ll eat another.

I’m an intact American man.I have never wished I was circumcised.

I haven’t ever been bullied for it. If I was, I think I’d first accusing the bully of being homosexual for taking an interest as loud as I could. Start calling him Gaylord Cockstarer in mixed company. Find out what hobbies his dad has, start doing that hobby, befriend his dad, tell him this story, see if you can get his dad to start calling him Gaylord Cockstarer.

Women who are grossed out…I’ve had a few hesitate to give me oral, but were willing to try. One, in her own words, wanted to wait until next time so she could “look up how to handle one of these.” And she did, too. To the women who would be disgusted at my intact anatomy, I have one question: What part of your body am I allowed to demand you slice off? Kind of a monstrous thing to think about someone, isn’t it? Why haven’t you cut that part of your body off? If that’s what she thinks of men, she can never deserve any dick.

I think a better quote would be

Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake coming down from the trees in the first place, and some said that even the trees had been a bad move and that no one should ever have left the oceans.

There weren’t any nuclear weapons on earth in 1930.

What? For my third once-in-a-lifetime economic crisis? There’s no way this isn’t going to suck. We’re all doomed no matter what.

I’m speaking of my experiences in the United States. Here, phone books tend to be separated into white pages and yellow pages. The white pages listed names, addresses and phone numbers of private lines, usually homes, and the yellow pages listed businesses. Taking out a listing in the yellow pages was the SEO of its day.

When the internet happened, the one thing that never really happened was a freely searchable database of the white pages. One thing the internet was never useful for as an upstanding citizen was looking up personal phone numbers.

One thing that never got digitized and put on the internet was the phone book. And for damn good reason.

Dating might temporarily relieve the first, but it won’t have any effect on the second.

What dating really does is waste time and money.
