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.

We can’t even take care of that, how could we care for an Yggdrasil?

“Mom I want an Yggdrasil”

“We have Yggdrasil at home”

Marvin the Martian as Sauron.

“Earth shattering kaboom” feels rather apt here.

Step 0: Invent the universe

Chewbacca is Bigfoot

There was an out-of-continuity comic where Han Solo crashed the Falcon on Earth; Chewbacca survives and becomes the basis for the Bigfoot legend.

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.

Don’t forget the alt text:

Attention all passengers: This is an express sequence to infinity. If your stop is not a power of two, please disembark now.

Maybe we should chip in and buy a second robot.

Hear me out: three robots.

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.

This is why i want a freakin 3d printer fr

Your local library may have one to print things for you. Saves that forward investment of materials and (some) skill.

Always wanted an ocean-centric map.

I think the above image is the Spilhaus World Ocean map, which I do find very pleasing to look at.

thinking that the year 2000 was 10 years ago.

This is patently absurd, 10 years ago was 1994.

“I would like to send this letter to the Prussian Consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4.30 autogyro?”

Yes, I know he died a few years ago.

Damn, it’s been ten years.

I stuck with 7 for an extremely long time under similar reasoning. Like I missed win 8 completely and only got 10 in maybe 2018. And only because I needed a version of directX for work that was unsupported on 7.

I only upgraded to 10 in early 2021, and only because I had reached a point where I didn’t see another option. My next upgrade is increasingly likely to be something Linux. Every new bit of info about Win 11 just makes me want it less.

“How is it?” “It varies from person to person.”

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.

“Who was that?” “Bob. They had a baby. It’s a boy.”
