Rhaedas

They originally were the Knights Who Say Ni, but broke up for a while for some solo work, then reunited as The Knights Who Say Ekki Ekki Ekki Pitang Zoom Boing. Best rap album ever, with the chart topper “Only a Flesh Wound”.

Note: the frequencies you get will vary depending on the brand, as well as beef vs. chicken.

“No one knows more about construction than me.”

Maybe. It depends on if they raised prices first to capture the losses. I know that seems like what a business would do first and what everyone predicted, but did they?

If it’s true, then Costco just needs to give away free hot dogs meals (drink and side) to their patrons for a year.

Or left as Reddit burned down. Not everyone needed a ban to look elsewhere, we just needed an elsewhere to find.

Needs a continuation of the help desk, where you end up educating the person on the topic. And at some point get transferred higher up to someone who might actually be able to help, and it disconnects while on hold.

That makes sense, from why some things were captured more than others and from the pov of starting an archive service - using what’s already been done and going from there. So things that weren’t part of such a network and didn’t rank high in existing search engines really didn’t have a chance.

They started in 2001 archiving pages back to 1995. I guess it was luck of the draw what got saved then.

There are numerous fanfic versions of the GoT show that are far better at including forgotten characters, plots, and tying up loose ends. My conclusion is that D and D had seen them all beforehand as things progressed and refused to bow to fans, so they got cornered into making bad choices. This isn’t necessarily valid, just my way of rationalizing away that they were just probably bad writers, period. They started off strong using someone else’s work, they should have finished it doing the same (just a different source).

I recently was searching for evidence of web existence of a site, and of course Wayback was my first thought. So I put in the address, and couldn’t find anything relevant (a redirection error was the best hit I got). Then I realized, duh… What I was looking for was in the late 90s, maybe 2000, and the notion of preserving the web hadn’t become a thing yet. So this is what happens without such efforts, things are really lost to memory and maybe snippets of references here and there if lucky.

I’ve seen some trucks in the US that had an L for low gear. I had a 3500 that had the normal manual shifter but also had another shifter at the base which would put you into Low mode for all those gears including R. It was VERY low, like the truck barely moved but it had all the torque you’d need to pull something.

I’ve switched the default search engine in Firefox to DDG finally, and I honestly haven’t noticed a difference in results. This may not be the best praise though, since Google has sucked for a number of years now.

I think it was Robin Williams that had a take on that, only he included the death would be temporary. So you’d wake up from being killed and realize you were a jerk.

I had a professor (psychology I think) once ask the class if they were presented with a toilet bowl full of water and guaranteed it was brand new and never used, would they drink the water? This sort of falls into that, and maybe it wouldn’t be quite as bad if it was covered, or a food container of that size. But it feels wrong as presented.

Remember during Covid when he was given a softball question for Trump to respond to the public who might be afraid. He did the same thing. He couldn’t even give a bland, Hollywood President level answer. He attacked the reporter asking it.

What other rules would be broken? I can’t think of one. Sometimes you have to adjust your speed. You should always be looking ahead to anticipate if a lane change would cause a problem.

The funny thing is that there is so much anxiety and rage built over being a bit faster or first in line, and yet most of the time all the anger at being stuck in a lane or slow is an illusion as the entire traffic mass is moving at the speed limit or higher. It is just your relative perception and you’ll still get to your destination at the same time.

The same thing happens in slow traffic. People spend so much energy trying to weave back and forth between lanes, almost causing collisions, only to stop a few feet again.

Good. There used to be signs on major roads for slower traffic to stay right, but it was more of a notice than a hard law. And that’s the real issue, a law is only as good as its enforcement, and if everyone is doing all sorts of things wrong there’s only so many that can be pulled over at once.

“Okay, I’ll take this out of your vacation time. See you tomorrow.”

There’s different levels of computerized control though. Would fuel injection and other modern efficiency and safety systems be possible without a main computer? I wouldn’t trade my days with simple mechanical cars and carburetors from the learning experience, but I also wouldn’t go back if I had a choice.

The line crossed was being connected to work, not computers themselves. I agree that the modern car market is a minefield in whether or not there’s anything you could get that isn’t dependent in some way on being online. Buy used, there’s still stuff out there that will give long life, has been tested by the first owners, and doesn’t have the manufacturer’s grip on it.

Is it $400 or $500? Article says both. And what about a charge for theft, why is that not there?

If he had reported her visa to ICE, this probably wouldn’t have become a crime and he’d be part of the team. But he went rogue.
