If Hollywood has taught me one thing, it’s that the hero is handsome and photogenic and the villain is a ugly and greasy…

JUST SAYING.

Why the fuck is that mouse cursor pointing right? How did that happen? What kind of loving God would allow that?

Okay, I’m actually onboard with those things. It’s usually a cable with a single wall plug on one end and four C13 plugs at the other. So you could plug in two monitors, a desktop PC and a printer, say, with just one socket. They’re a lot neater than having a whole power strip and four cables. I’ve also seen ones that split one C14 into four C13s but I’m not as sure how I feel about those.

Are Temu the ones who say “pretend you’re a billionaire” or something but their ads always have the most bizarre, undesirable-looking, nasty, cheap, plastic things in them?

WFM. Looks like you’re using Let’s Encrypt, which is fine, and everything seems to be consistent. I think you’re good.

JFC. I knew that show was bad, but I honestly feel like I’m thicker from having watched that. You can’t just post shit like that without warning.

Known as the Praxis Effect amongst movie nerds or, in the Homestar Runner universe, “those blast-wavey Saturn rings that have become so popular lately.”

“You’re about two kilometers outside the anomaly.”

“Chuck.”

“I’m sorry, what?”

“The anomaly. I named the anomaly ‘Chuck’.”

That was actaully a brick joke in the first episode of Archer. Here’s the first part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahObgDYU58E

Depends on your local laws and such, but in most European countries you can get a prepaid SIM card for a couple of euros/pounds/whatever at any supermarket, making them practically free. If you need a temporary number for a scammy special offer or any situation where your number is publicly visible (Gumtree, etc) it’s a no-brainer IMHO.

If your phone suppprts running two SIMs at once, it has two IMEIs so as far as the network(s) are concerned it’s two distinct handsets unless they deduce otherwise.

A fun aside: years ago I did some work for a small phone company (the company was small, not the phone) and they gave me a SIM with 100 numbers in a block and access to a portal I could manage them with. Sadly, I forgot to pay the annual £10 renewal fee.

Ah, a fellow German speaker, I see.

This can’t brie. You gouda be kidding me. I can’t deal with cheese puns on my provolone.

Cheese puns shamelessly stolen from Jack Stauber.

IIRC that rule applies to debit cards only, which most businesses pay a flat monthly fee to handle, as opposed to credit cards which charge a percentage. Also, fuck AMEX.
