  • They should not exist.

  • We're not the ones who need to hear it, though.

  • He's not a "wannabe."

  • Oh no, murderous criminal thugs might become victims. How terrible.

  • I have a bunch of USB hubs that plug into a USB-A outlet and then give you USB-A outlets. Are these not cursed because they're a hub?

    The "cursed" thing is a male-A to male-A cable. A hub is fine because it's male-A to female-A

  • Maybe it’s the USB connector that is hardest to break or pull off by accident?

    Yeah, pretty much. Printers and scanners are kinda the only common devices big enough not to need to use a more fragile mini-B or micro-B.

    (There are certainly other more niche "big" devices that also use it: the MIDI connection on my digital piano, for instance.)

  • I don't think I've ever owned a printer that had USB-B that didn't also have Ethernet. The last time I hooked a printer directly to a computer instead of to the network, it was using a parallel port.

  • (It's funny because we can't stop them from passing straight through the pool.)

  • I live in an area that can have high radon levels, but haven't worried about it too much because my old house has a vented basement/crawlspace that leaks air like a sieve. It's really with modern construction, that seals houses up tight for energy efficiency, that it becomes a bigger problem.

    I think it being an emerging issue may also be part of why it's not screened for yet.

  • Utahraptor is the size of the ones in the movie and was discovered the same year the movie came out. I like to think that's what they are, but Crichton and/or Spielberg just thought "velociraptor" was a cooler name.

  • Pinkie is 100% believable as a drug kingpin.

  • "Congressman" is a generic term that covers people in both houses of Congress.

  • Third time's the charm!

  • Never KYS for something that's somebody else's fault.

  • If they're going to do that, they should also go back to requiring motor cars to be preceded by an attendant on foot, waving a red flag.

    You know, for safety.

  • We're upset about it because Google is attempting to change the norm in an authoritarian, self-serving way. It's a war on general-purpose computing, and "average smartphone users" -- especially ones who don't also have a PC to understand what they're missing -- are victims of it.

    The term is anti-property-rights propaganda.

  • I like to mention "Motor Mania" (Disney, 1950) from time to time, but I've apparently been sleeping on other mid-century satirical anti-car cartoons. Nice find!
