I didn’t actually realize that he didn’t say “metric fuckton” until I saw your comment and went back to reread it.

Well yes it needs to be inaugurated first, which will not happen until January.

Kids today something something attention spans what with the social media grumble grumble back when I was that age, dammit.

Mostly stuff with beans.

I cast Pass Without Trace

Playing Diplomacy I’m pretty sure violates the Geneva convention.

Yep, you did it-- Mint is the right answer!

Damn okay well if the hackers are at that level I guess you’re just screwed.

Mine is not a Tesla, and its range is exaggerated… Or at least its range has a hidden asterisk that would read “under ideal conditions with a gentle driving style.” It self-adjusts based on my recent driving history, and I mostly don’t let the battery get low enough that I have to care about how precise it is… But it definitely skews heavily optimistic, especially when I first bought the car. It’s roughly the same in that regard as a Tesla is, according to the Tesla drivers I know.

Whoa really? How did you figure it out? I’d love to do that with my car, even if it’s a pain.

Can we sync on that real quick? I think we can ideate on some quick wins for your allergy that’ll get you unblocked.

Let’s see the hackers figure that one out!

It’s “fairest,” right? So maybe the mirror just saw her doing stuff like meticulously cutting a cake into evenly-sized pieces instead of portioning out bigger ones for herself and her cronies. That’d be plausible for a 7 year old.

If you use iCloud mail (I don’t), they have an email relay service, too. They call them “email aliases.”

How did you explain how McDobalds knows when you’re broke or in a hurry?

Damn great username btw 👌

Thought so-- Sorry about all the downvotes :(

I assume that’s a reference to what the book-burners in Fahrenheit 451 are called, and not a weirdly misogynistic gatekeep, lol.

I guess why the bottom right one is holding a book?

Firefighting shenanigans go all the way back to ancient Rome: Marcus Licinius Crassus formed Rome’s first fire brigade, which would basically extort the owners of burning buildings to buy them on the cheap. Per Wikipedia:

The first ever Roman fire brigade was created by Crassus. Fires were almost a daily occurrence in Rome, and Crassus took advantage of the fact that Rome had no fire department, by creating his own brigade—500 men strong—which rushed to burning buildings at the first cry of alarm. Upon arriving at the scene, however, the firefighters did nothing while Crassus offered to buy the burning building from the distressed property owner, at a miserable price. If the owner agreed to sell the property, his men would put out the fire; if the owner refused, then they would simply let the structure burn to the ground. After buying many properties this way, he rebuilt them, and often leased the properties to their original owners or new tenants.
