ICQ may be going away but that message sound effect will continue living rent free in my brain until I’m dead.

You sure it’s not 18/Jawa/Tatooine?

The Nazis persecuted gays and sent them to concentration camps.

The carbon credit system is designed to make companies responsible for emissions to pay money to companies who are reducing emissions. It’s a financial incentive to produce less emissions AND on the other side, a financial incentive to invest in green tech.

Using your metaphor…if you stopped cheating on your wife you could avoid spending ten grand on wife cheating credits. That’s a financial incentive to stop cheating on your wife. So many people will stop cheating on their wives. Meanwhile, people who were thinking about cheating on their wives could instead collect ten thousand bucks for being faithful. So…many of those people won’t cheat on their wives.

Get it now?

Surprised I had to scroll this far down for Psycho Fox. That and Wonder Boy 3.

Shannon Martin says just shake the battery and you’ll get AC.

Sure, you might have to wheel around a super heavy cart full of batteries …but think of the CONVENIENCE of not having to charge your phone!

Same thing happened to me with a Tim Hortons bagel. Border guards with small dicks having a power trip. The best part? The question on the computer was “are you importing any xyz…”. I was not importing it, I was eating it at the airport. Still had my Nexus taken.

“reach Mars at breakneck speed” - great choice of words there.

That’s a fun memory with your mom. With parents like that, how did you grow up to be an angry seal?

It’s an imperfect solution. VPNs are an issue - and even if you don’t use a VPN, the API only knows the location of the ISP’s servers - which can be in a different state.

My point was that, the law should leave tax inclusion in pricing as optional. There is no way to implement automatic detection cleanly, other than prompting the user to confirm their location, which is a huge annoyance - so the ‘tax inclusion’ rule would not make things better or more convenient.

I’d rather see prices without tax, than have to enter my zip code before I can see any pricing for anything online.

Pretty sure Trump’s companies aren’t profitable either. So kinda makes sense.

How would a company advertise pricing across multiple states? E.g. on the web…

So happy to see a reference to Escape Velocity. I spent so many hours playing that game as a teen, modding and creating my own spaceships in Mechanisto. Good times.

So did the US government, in Operation Paperclip. Arguably worse was the protection that the US government gave towards Japanese war criminals in Unit 731. The US govt has protected / harbored some of the most evil people to have lived in the past century.

Nazis. You don’t need an apostrophe to make something plural.

I think he bought it to make it a conservative echo chamber for the next election.
