Hehehe yep.

Lived in New England my whole life.

Coffee is a drink best served cold. Preferably also brewed cold.

Or coffee syrup in milk. Now ya know which New England state. Get that with 6 all the way.

March: Irish for a day.

June: Gay for a month.

Oh yeah that’s like so obvious.

Kevin! I’m sick of these outbursts! Give me your phone! It’s going in my carry-on and you’ll get it back on the plane!

Footlong sandwiches have nothing to do with the body part “foot”.

They hardly have anything to do with the measurement “foot” since they are like 10.5 inches (~26cm) now or something (as opposed to the 30ish centimeters that make a foot).

This is part of the enshittificaton of Subway.

Their cookies are still dope tho.

We had lighters before we had matches. We had cans for 50 years before we had can openers. Sometimes things don’t make sense.

It’s a homophone. Spiritual Soul, as opposed to sole of your shoe. Or a flounder. Or the capital of South Korea. Or the one and only.

Idk man…if it happened with my youngest…it depends on which Nintendo Switch is still in the house and which one came on the plane.

If it’s the “primary switch”, he’d be fine without Internet. We could probably leave for like 2 days and we’d come back and he’d not even realize we were gone and say he was hungry (while surrounded by junk food wrappers).

If it wasn’t…and the internet was out…Lord help us.

In Home Alone, didn’t something take out the phone lines?

I’m sure “something” would happen in a modern version of Home Alone.

Most likely, the parents would be arrested when they got home.

But post-quantum…

Oh my God, Becky…look at your butt.

This is how they snuff out the trans soldiers.

Biweekly is fortnightly. Every two weeks. I.e. Every other Thursday.

Semi-monthly would be twice a month, i.e. the 1st and the 15th.

26 biweekly paychecks in a year…24 semimonthly paychecks in a year.

I’ve never had a job that paid semimonthly, but almost every job I’ve ever had was bi-weekly.

Mammals have eggs. They are just usually very small. Except for platypus.

The only requirement for being a mammal is nipples. Or, more specifically, mammary glands.

Fur and three inner-ear bones and a broad neocortex are important, too…but not as big as nipples.

If the boot fits…to the privileged, equality is oppression.

I mean, having a tested and proven DR/BCM plan is kind of an important part of being a serious business…

Yeah I’m giving the ease-of-use points to Discord.

I’d agree that both are big, sure…but ICQ and AIM didn’t have attachments or GIFs or screensharing, They barely had text formatting. Yet they were still bigger than the semi-decentralized (but at least standards-based) IRC. The features weren’t the big lure, it was the ease of use.

ICQ and AIM managed to draw a huge crowd in the early (ish) days of home Internet.

It’s not about features…it’s about ease of use.

Also, IRC wasn’t as decentralized as email to begin with, there were several isolated networks that would not communicate with each other (dalnet, EFnet, undernet, etc)
