I don’t really care about the rewards, but I did roll my eyes at the email.

I just got back from a year in Austria, where I was paying €9,90 a month (with the first 3 months free!) for unlimited calling and 60GB of data with Europe-wide roaming, and Public seemed like the best deal at ~3x the cost for less.

Canadian phone plans really do suck.

Thanks to Concorde, Phil Collins was able to play at both the London and Philadelphia Live Aid concerts. He Played in London, got a helicopter to Heathrow, Concorde to NY and then another helicopter to Philadelphia.

1.13 cups of mirin or aji mirin .38 cup regular soy sauce .38 cup dark soy sauce .75 cup of water

I would like you to elaborate on these intriguing numbers

*edit, just saw your final line… how many eggs was it originally for?!

While normally I’d agree with you, this is custard we’re talking about here.

I’m willing to give it a go, myself.

Username checks out

When I was a lad (~30 years ago) hash was all we had. So much so that I don’t recall if I’ve ever actually smoked weed.

I love beaver!

TBF you do have to be pretty fucking brave to live there.

Off the top of my head:

• Karate Champ II (arcade)
• Pac-Land (arcade)
• Gryzor aka Contra (Amstrad CPC)
• Sorcery (Amstrad CPC)
• Xenon (Atari ST)

Oh wait, Elite (BBC, Amstrad, and ST) — probably more so than Xenon.

Calm down. They never said anything about the two things happening on the same device.

I bend my arm and put my hand under my face, thereby converting it into shoulder pain.

I get what you’re saying — so it’s about the subconscious awareness of the state change that happens after the driver decided to go, but before the car starts moving. I can see some amount of value in that.

I still can’t help but think it’s going to be interpreted by many as a sign that it’s safe to proceed and ignore the car rather than be prepared for any eventuality, though.

But isn’t that exactly the situation we’re in now? If there’s a car in the opposing left turn lane, they might start to turn in front of you.

The only thing the light does is say “right now, they’re braking”. It doesn’t say whether they’re moving or stationary any more than the headlights, and it doesn’t say anything about their intentions or whether it’s safe to enter the intersection.

Yeah, the only thing I could think of is that I’m driving down a country road, and I see the front brake light ahead of me because someone stopped for a deer in the road or something.

Otherwise I cannot fathom what benefit it brings. Anything that ultimately becomes “if you see this light, it’s safe to [X] in front of this vehicle” is going to get people killed.

And the negative state of “the lack of this light means that the vehicle could be moving” is exactly what we have now.

I don’t understand this at all. Why do I, as a person in front of a vehicle, care whether or not it’s braking?

Interesting. AFAICT the “power premium” price is just over half what we pay for regular unleaded here in Austria.

Is the implication here that those prices are high?

Thanks for the explanation. Ironically this was the bit I didn’t know:

In modern times, USB keyboards are periodically actively polled instead.

I was thinking the implication was that some computer had faulty interrupt handling that would smash the status register or something.

Honestly I think I’m just too old to understand memes.

I feel like I should understand this, but I don’t.

They’ve been telling us this for 33 years, and still people don’t get it.
