Fair enough. .world was one of the few instances where I didn't have to file an application back when I signed up. Seemed easier, might migrate later, idk.

There's a store in my town that either had a bad receipt printer, or had their number wrong on it (my number differs from theirs by one digit). Either way, I get a call for them every few months. I don't really mind.

I don't get that many spam calls anymore, and the ones I do get, I just have fun with them (practice my very rough French, try out a new accent, or just wait about 10 seconds and burst into song). Unfortunately most of the junk calls these days are bots :(

At worst I would have categorized your question as insensitive or maybe inflammatory. At worst.

Ah well, that's .ml for you.

I switched to a home-oriented 5G system from T-Mobile. The price was decent for my area ($50/month), and most importantly, Spectrum got nothing from me.

Before that, my wife and I would use our phone hotspots for internet (Visible has plans that have unlimited throttled hotspot). The speed was capped at 5Mbit/s, but it was enough for us (and was only $25/month/phone at the time).

I've since moved back to Canada and am using a reseller (Oxio), which has been great so far.

I'd bring back Logsday.

No men's room. Only Khlav Kalash.

I'm less of a former Christian and more of a thinks-outside-the-box Christian, but I think Mat Kearney is pretty solid regardless of what you believe. Sufjan Stevens is awesome too, but a bit of an aquired taste.

My first concert was Newsboys and Supertones (Newsboys was the opener, it was pretty early for them). Saw FIF a year or two later. Saw Insyderz at a smaller event a few years after that. To this day I get to say I've seen the three "big" Christian ska bands live.

What a wild time. Jars is still on a regular rotation for me (Flood and Liquid are both bangers, and their Christmas album is one of my favorite holiday albums).

What other band is going to write a song about Different Strokes? FIF is still part of my regular rotation.

I mean, I would. Every year, all the time.

 

Considering the proliferation of AI-generated slop, as well as the lines between satire and reality being blurred, I wonder if future historians will have a harder time understanding what was really going on.

 

Also mildly interesting is the difference in the L/R waveforms. Taken from the end of a Danny Go song.

 

(Detroit, MI) Republicans have begun a crusade against the time-honored 1981 classic Raiders of the Lost Ark, citing a lack of respect for the first amendment and encouraging political violence.

Sites like imdb.com have seen a surge in new accounts as Conservative Americans across the nation are creating profiles in order to leave a one-star rating for the Spielberg classic Raiders of the Lost Ark. According to these reviews, the film contains gratuitous politically-motivated violence, and a complete disregard for the first amendment right granting freedom of speech. According to inside sources, viewers feel threatened by the persecution experienced by the characters in the film, decrying it as glorifying violence.

"I don't expect them to agree on everything," one reviewer writes, "but violence isn't warranted for differences in political alignments. Ultimately, [Jones] and his competition have more in common than they have different." Another critic writes that they "of course don't identify with the politics of these characters, but cannot condone the slander and persecution presented against them." Similarly, many reviews cite tolerance as a virtue sadly missing from the movie. Summarizing the position aptly, one review states, "if he would simply sit down and have a rational debate, rather than punching the Nazis, I'm certain Indiana could have resolved his differences without so much bloodshed."

Related, ratings for 1963's The Great Escape have seen a sharp improvement, with reviews praising the dedication and efficiency of the soldiers depicted in the film, even though three prisoners manage to escape.

My therapist said I had impasta syndrome.

 

The recipe always says to reserve some pasta water. I either forget, or I just don't bother. The one or two times I've needed it, I just added regular water and it was fine.

 

I just moved, but haven't sold my old house yet. So I left my tools there for any work that needs to be done. My dad let me borrow his tools for the new place (and I'm very grateful for that), but they're not the same.

 

Can't even salvage the pot
