Just had my yearly car maintenance at the local VW shop. They’ve started passing on the credit card processing fees to the customer. It’s only like 3 or 4%, but it made me use a debit card instead of a CC. Guess that’s where we’re at now.

I get the sense that a lot of commenters here never had an openmailbox dot org experience.

More like who would I do 😏

How do you write an article like this without mentioning Tommy Tallarico? 😆

Edit: Another article does mention Tallarico.

Interestingly, though, this deal doesn’t include the Intellivision Amico. Atari stated that Intellivision would rebrand itself and continue to work on developing the console project that was originally scheduled to launch in 2020 and was once headed up by “prolific” video game composer Tommy Tallarico. Atari said that the company formerly known as Intellivision would rebrand itself and that it would grant licensing rights to the new company permitting it to feature Intellivision games on the console.

Larian Studios, the Good Guy Greg to Microsoft’s (and Ubisoft’s and EA’s) Scumbag Steve.

We don’t keep bread in the house anymore but occasionally I want cinnamon toast. Nuke a little butter, mix in sugar & cinnamon, enjoy on saltines. It’s a little messy because the sugar and butter won’t completely emulsify but it scratches that itch when I’m baked.

Holy cow. Thank you! Didn’t know that was there. ❤️

I wonder if they ever did the Anne Rice Sleeping Beauty series as audiobooks, because that would probably get you where you want to go. 😆

Edit: They did, because of course they did. From Wikipedia:

In 1994, the abridged audio versions of the first three books were published in cassette form. The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty was read by actress Amy Brenneman. Beauty’s Punishment was read by Elizabeth Montgomery (known for her role in the ABC situation comedy Bewitched) as Beauty with Michael Diamond as Tristan, and Beauty’s Release was read by Montgomery with actor Christian Keiber reading as Laurent.[2] A compact disc version of the audiobooks was read by Genviere Bevier and Winthrop Eliot.[3]

Is using Linux a trend? Microsoft must be pissing themselves in fear atop their giant pile of money. 😄

Please clarify if you would. What is a “hipster vibe”?

I think Frankensteinian would work based off second definition of Frankenstein from m-w dot com.

2: a monstrous creation especially : a work or agency that ruins its originator

Frankensteinian is the adjective form.

Yeah, I tend to operate the same way. I stopped watching movie trailers maybe ten years ago because there are only five basic movie trailers, and they all hit the same tired beats. I hate them all.

• Comedy
• Adventure
• Drama
• Horror
• Nolan (just pick one of the above and put a BWAAAAAAA in it)

My bad. I misread it as AnCom. I wouldn’t have said that if I’d read AnCap. Thanks for the lecture.

I could live in this world. I’d happily tolerate the RPN to end capitalism.

When relaying the Swatch time, do you have to say “n dot beats” or it just “n beats”?

Ahh I’d never seen that! How adorable.

“It’s five o’clock and all is well, you cunts.” 😄

I appreciate your definitiveness. Happy Friday my friend. ✌️

Yay!

I took their comment as a joke. Please be nice to @Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee. ✌️

Is that what the kids call it these days? 🤭
