I think that people may admire/covet the super-power of doing what you want without caring about other people or being afraid of consequences.

I have eaten fish fingers in the UK and fish sticks in the US. The UK ones are delicious. This meme is not from someone who has ever eaten them.

It’s worth pointing out to the rest of the world that the US packets actually say “NET WT 9g” on them.

Whatever happened to fractal image compression, which compressed an image by finding parts similar to larger regions of the picture, so that is could reconstruct the image from itself.

It really does look more broken the more I look. I began to think that it would sort odd and even lists in opposite orders, since half the time it’s comparing pairs the opposite way around.

I used a “Mister Car Wash” in Turlock, CA that has a subscription option. That’s the only one I’ve ever noticed

It was convenient that even the single use the fee included use of parking bays where I could use a vacuum.

Down side was that I later noticed the machine had nearly torn my license plate off.

Bonus beans tin near the end (since that’s a thing again).

This pic is an acoustic coupler, which played sounds and listened to them from the handset. Modems would connect directly to the phone circuit, bypassing actual sound waves (although they did still have a little speaker so the you could hear what they received).

Fly around in Google Earth if you want to get a sense of the actual scale.

There are at least three Technology Connections videos about kettles. Including one where he connects a 120V US kettle to his car charger to speed it up.

I just started watching Ed Pratt’s “unicycle across the USA” YouTube videos, and it starts with him meeting a group who do that.

I’ve recently noticed web forms and appointment emails start to use that format. Maybe web devs are sneaking it in bit by bit.

This is the (year-month-) day.

Maybe your band was standing much too close together.

Yo Gabba Gabba has a “don’t bite your friends” song. (Although it’s not in the same league as some of their better songs or the guest bands that they have.)

Everyone else gives in to peer pressure, maybe I should too…

Sometimes it’s faster than finding the mouse cursor when clicking a link or a button (and when filling in forms with check boxes), but probably my biggest use is if I’m browsing around Google maps or Earth.

Click-drag click-drag on the trackpad is just slow and frustrating compared to just dragging the on-screen image.

I use a macbook sometimes and it’s a bit infuriating when I try to drag the screen.

I don’t use it constantly but I’m used to having the choice whenever I decide it’s easier.
