According to Wikipedia, “the song was written as satire”

So I know that’s only someone else’s opinion, but at least I’m not alone in thinking that.

Is it really that hard to find a composite input? All my TVs have them, though the newest one is at least 5 years old so what do I know…

Those use HDMI signaling over the displayport connector, so still need the blessing of the HDMI overlords, which costs a lot of money upfront.

And when that password manager gets cracked?

Wasn’t that one more tongue in cheek? (Oingo boingo I mean)

Pocket full of change.

Have you ever been to Yuma?

The linked article…

The weight of the motor is insignificant compared to that of the batteries.

I read it as they think they need to have a need for something to justify having it. I disagree with that premise.

I don’t hunt either, but shooting can be fun.

I never worried about my toddler shooting me, because I kept my guns in a safe.

People have legally defended themselves in that situation, yes- but first you have to survive until your court date.

I turned down an interest only ARM loan in favor of a traditional mortgage a couple years before the subprime mortgage crisis… Wells Fargo was trying to sell me on the loan with “real estate always goes up”, but I had to ask, “and what if it doesn’t?” He looked at me like I had a 3rd arm…

I like saying “anything can happen if you don’t know how anything works”

It’s a little more general.

But you repeat yourself. (Hasn’t it been shown there’s a high correlation between morning people and extroversion?)

I would love to have deep conversations about all kinds of things, but I have difficulty serializing my thoughts and converting them to words so even when I find someone with similar interests, it ends up being exhausting…

I grew up across the street from a large grocery store, and around the corner from a convenience store, but still my mom would stockpile many months worth of stuff like flour, sugar, oats, spices, tea…

people who just don’t understand how to shop around for shit and just eat the cost.

The problem is, you can shop around and find a good deal, but that good deal is “introductory”, only for new customers, so after a while the price goes back to “normal” and you have to do it all over again. Then you have to do that for every damn thing, it gets pretty tiring.

I mean, it’s only fair. Responsible cyclists are expected to answer for the behavior of shitty cyclists, motor or pedal regardless, why should cars and their drivers get a pass?
