2 days later, squiddy will be buying the books. Ideal christmas gift for your parents!

And the SM57 for things you don’t need a screen on.

A discussion on the other site claimed that the fuck-up was in the copy that Universal sent to Mattel.
And that wrong websites frequently end up on packaging in other industries.

Mattel seem to be doing the sorry-dance for it, so no idea if it’s true. Though I’m sure Universal would be very keen to not be involved.

Frank Zappa: I’m the slime

I once changed a friend’s autocorrect from “regards” to “lots of love”.

And I somehow managed to keep my mouth shut long enough for a lecturer to get a very funny email.

Somebody should make a microsite with this graphic that updates every time there is an election.

People apparently rub them with IPA.

I need to have a try of this, as I regularly burn through 2032s.

Catwoman: What’s a hroom?

Awesome work, thankyou for taking the time to do this.

I too love a metal USB stick for the keychain, and my old DTSE9 could do with a refresh!

I can only speak from a UK perspective, but most home ADSL/VDSL/Fibre providers don’t have limits, other than “if your usage is tanking the network, we’ll ask you to knock it off” type clauses.

Most providers are also signed up to an agreement that if your speed drops 50% below the agreed speed on the package on average, they’ll either give you refunds, or let you out of the contract.

The only ones that throttle are the bargain basement operators aimed at people who don’t care, and one otherwise very competent provider that for some unexplainable reason only gives 1TB by default, charging an extra £10 for 10TB.

And I guess there is also a pricing step up to guaranteed bandwidth. For business use, they tend to be things like 1gbits headline, 500mbit guaranteed burst, 100mbit guaranteed sustained.

He’s having a little more fun in the original.

That doesn’t sound very typical.

Because if they remaster it, they can also remaster the price.
Which is probably why they’ve pulled all the old versions.

Or ignorance made a convenient fig leaf.

It’s only Virgin Media to my knowledge who does this.
Most of the other providers are happy for you to use anything that works properly for VDSL or FTTP.

Most FTTP providers fit an ONT that puts the connection back into an RJ45 ethernet connector.
Then you connect to the provider using PPPOE. Anything past the ONT, you can do whatever you like.

While not strictly a QR code, I always liked that the Dolby Digital data between perforations on a film strip had a tiny Dolby logo at the centre.

Thank you for putting me on to where goes :)

Probability that this person is over 30?

It’s worth noting that most places without a “signature” style just use espresso as the base nowadays. Because espresso is a much easier way to start (as it’s a small amount of coffee syrup, without the water).
And outside of speciality (pour-over/cold-brew), it’s the preferred extraction method.

You can block or disrupt communications with LEO.
But you’d need the blessing of the country’s government to pump out that much interference continuously.
