But the main thing I was talking about was the internet. How old were you when they got that?

Yeah, I was born in 1981, and I’ve seen places call me a millenial because I was born after 1980. I disagree, because I was 10 years old before our town got cable, and in high school before we got the internet in our house (crappy dial up we were only allowed to use at night so we didn’t block the phone lines), so…

Did you get the elaborate meal too?

Am I the only person alive that still subscribes to OG Netflix? I still have too many movies in my queue to catch up that aren’t available by streaming. And I’ll never catch up on them all thanks to kids, which is why I like having the movies waiting at home when I do get the chance instead of having to go to Redbox…

Yeah, but that was true a month ago, and MP3s were still good enough for most people, and most widely supported. The only thing that has changed is that the Frauenhofer Institute can’t make money off of MP3 anymore, but they can on some other formats.

This story is stupid. MP3s work just as well as they did a month ago, and they will continue to be just fine for the near future. The only thing that has changed in the past month is that the patents expired, so you no longer need to purchase a license to use it. It’s only became “obsolete” in the sense that the…

Depends on what you mean by “visited voluntarily”. If it’s just specifically going there on purpose, maybe Delaware. But I-95 runs through the state, and it gets a ton of “visitor” traffic going between Baltimore/DC and Philly/NYC/New England. That’s how I visited Delaware. I was in the state for 10 miles and (IIRC)…

New Mexican here. Carlsbad Caverns, Santa Fe, and Taos bring in more visitors than anything in North Dakota.

The little paper ones they give you at fratty bars always end up sticking. Ditto bar napkins.

What Waze really needs to do is get Android Auto support going, then it will be really easy to pop between Waze and any audio app.

That’s not a fallacy. This assumes that the person in question *does* also pay in to the roads, to the schools, and to the police and the fire department. They paid in as well. But they should pay more. Because we need to make sure the next generations benefit from the same social contract they did.

Twitter is good for letting you know something happened and then providing a link to read more about it elsewhere. It’s the best platform for finding out what’s going on in what you care about as it’s happening.

Holy lord. My wife makes similar pretzel bites using Hershey Kisses, and the chocolate plus the salty pretzels is incredibly addicting. I eat them by the handfuls. If I tell her to try Rolos next times so they have caramel too I might die.

Because the American way to buy airline tickets is buy the cheapest ticket you can find, complain about the shitty service, and then turn around and buy the cheapest ticket again the next time. So airlines are becoming increasingly creative about how to provide the cheapest ticket to meet what the market demands.

Jerry Kill was a whopping 29-29. Mason at least had Minnesota regularly ranked for a couple years there, which is more than can be said for any other Minnesota coach since I’ve been alive (I’m 35).

Every time a team tries to draw the other guys offsides on 4th down and fails, they always “audible” and go back and try again and keep trying until the play clock runs out. Even though everyone knows within the first five seconds that they’re just trying to draw an offsides penalty. Sometime I want a team to try to…

A Foodspin recipe with an ingredient list and step by step instructions? Something just doesn’t seem right...

They also eventually lined up in a tackle-over formation, so starting in the train plus the quick snap made it hard for the defense to adjust to the weird formation.

They seemed to have left out the “has things that are worth road tripping to” factor in the rankings.

Harbaugh is giving all of us, quarterbacks included, the silent treatment.
