Oh, fuck off.

Upvoted, obvs.

Yeah, but how were they to know the central reservation on the autobahns would need a barrier as well as earthworks?

Generally speaking the customer is the one paying for the product. For a commercial TV station, the customer is the advertiser, not the audience. The audience is the product being sold. Like IKEA felling trees to build furniture, or Exxon pumping oil, the TV station makes programmes as part of the product manufacturing process.

Also, this is a reason why public service broadcasters need to be cherished.

Did you hear that Steve Jobs died of just a matter of focal length or cropping?

Oh, fuck off.

It’s wild to think about, but 3D filament extrusion printers are actually a lot more simple than ink/toner document printers. I think the age of printing - at least in home and small office settings - is coming to an end. Most people I know don’t have one and those that do can only think of “so I can print boarding passes” as a reason.

I think NI is included as part of the UK and, if we’re being honest, it’s rare that they visit anything more than an hour from London or Edinburgh so having most of the rest of the UK is push too.

Emergency brake for an unforgettable quenching experience.

In twenty years all new digital projectors will have ports for USB-C, power, network and VGA.

Alchemy isn’t real. What you just described can be adequately explained by Hawking Radiation.

Can we acknowledge that, in hindsight, Mad World was some seriously trite, meaningless, two-dimensional bullshit? It’s like the “you’ll never understand me Mom” poetry of a fourteen year old who just discovered Hot Topic.

Back in the days when you could dial numbers using the hook. Great for those taxi phones in supermarkets that had the keypad covered over.

Entire confection 👅

For your Steam Deck. And your Linux laptop. And your Windows desktop. And your next handheld, which might be an MSI Claw or Lenovo Legion. And so on…

Right. “10% of a million versus 50% of a thousand” type situation. Plus, Steam’s pretty good at promoting the better games, even the obscure ones.

Proof (as if it was needed) that just running a reasonable storefront generates more than enough profit.

Something, something, neighbour’s lawn, sprinkler, something.
