And yet, I’ve managed to make it through daily ear cleanings with Q-tips for at least 35 of my 43 years sans incident.  #beatingtheodds

Right? Exactly this! 

My dream RV would be painted in the Style of the A-team’s van.  Oooooh yeah....

He was more than happy to call in orders. The complaint originally stems from his local Dominos not honoring the regular “online only” deals when he called in. They said “Well, then use the website!” (which he is unable to do). The discrimination suit was filed because they adamantly refused to give him the same…

I once ate wild-hunted (vs. farm-raised) moose while visiting Maine. Years later, I can still taste the sulphery, swamp muck flavor of that awful steak.

May I introduce you to West Virginia? Growing up in a border county (VA side), it always blew my mind all the pickup trucks with CSA Battle flags flying had WV tags.

Yeah, there are some discussions upthread about whether our FCC regulations would cover things like Faraday paint or other deliberate construction-based signal blocking. The statute could be interpreted either way (whether it covers only active jamming, or also should punish any deliberate passive jamming).

Going by your usage of “the cinema” and “wankers,” I’m going to assume you’re in (or from) the UK (or an associated commonwealth nation)? Not sure what the laws are like where you’re from, but the here in the States, the FCC takes a very dim view of any sort of signal jammer. Like “go to federal prison” level of dim…

ProTip:  Several chains (Regal is one) offer free refills on their large fountain drinks.  You can re-arm for the next one!

Oh, that’s not fair!

Maybe it’s because we’ve had a couple Alamo Cinema locations (and their zero-tolerance for phone usage) open in the immediate area in recent years, but even the major theater chains now station ushers in the back who shut down phone users really quickly (from what I’ve seen, one warning—then ejection).

Take your damn star.  I just LOLed far too loudly for an open plan office...

That missing step on the left side of the photo, though...

Believe it or not, Cracked actually researches the hell out of things they create. There’s a fairly good chance that’s accurate (at least per the source material they found).

The Verizon commercials are annoying, but he’s absolutely brilliant in Silicon Valley (which is an amazing show, btw). I knew him from there first, so the other cameos and commercials are like, “Eh, I suppose he’s gotta eat in the off season” (though I’m sure HBO is paying him well, due to the popularity of the show).

They’ve mentioned it a couple times in the show, as well. Hell, in the very first episode, Erinwright brings it up while talking to Arvisala.

That’s the beauty of these books. Just when they think they’ve got everything all figured out...everything goes sideways. The Expanse....just keeps getting bigger.

So now I wonder how many “Fuck off, Siri!” exhorts (my standard response for accidental voice activation) they’ve heard in all those random samples? haha

I wear an Apple watch. Unless something changed with the Gen4 watches (which I doubt, because the configuration of the watches is done in the phone’s settings), Siri is button-activated by default. You have to purposely change the settings to allow it to activate on raising the arm.
