We did have wireless handsets back in the day…

The cold is also bad for batteries, so if you’ve been out in the winter for a while, it’ll help warm your phone up.

I wonder if it will be web scale

Trick question! IATA: IDGAF about your rules about who can work with who.

That’s right! I said “who” not “whom”! I don’t care about your grammar rules either: like putting punctuation inside quotations. Or starting a sentence with a conjunction.

Did I get the job?

Apparently!

You can pry my Twist-Erase from my cold dead arthritic hands.

Since I switched to using 0.9 mm, I almost never break a lead unless I drop it onto a hard floor; it even holds up to some aggressive tapping. Consequently, I hardly ever have to refill. I also never worry about the point snapping or stabbing when tossed loose into a bag, or keeping a sharpener on hand.

Just my #2 cents.

Honestly, it would be hilarious if they did a goofy, “coming out tomorrow,” April Fools day announcement, and Nintendo snapped back the next day with “no, really, available now!”

Something, something, April 2nd.

What do you mean by slow? Time till symptoms? time till death? Hours? Days? Weeks?

Raw castor beans contain ricin its a cool looking plant that gets big. My neighbor grew on once accidentally.

symptoms commonly begin within two to four hours, but may be delayed by up to 36 hours.

Unless treated, death can be expected to occur within 3–5 days; however, in most cases a full recovery can be made.

Actually a lot of beans are toxic when raw, but not deadly. Raw lima beans are special though; they contain something that the human body breaks down into cyanide. No clue how long that takes or how many it would take to cause harm.

Heavy metals (mercury, arsenic, cadmium, lead) are known for building up over time with many exposures. Think mad hatter syndrome, etc. but exposures can also be acute if high enough. IIRC acute arsenic poisoning makes you vomit and diarrhea until you die of dehydration after days or weeks.

Evap system error: excess fumes in exhaust.

Talk about opposable thumbs!

I haven’t seen a fleece since a trip in October. I realized it a couple weeks ago. I still haven’t done anything about it.

A cat in a box will stay in the box unless distracted by an outside noise.

As a short person I cannot hesitate. I may neither ask, nor wait to be bidden. When an artifact is loosed from the grip of another, I retrieve it with grace and expediency. The knees and the backs of the giants and ancients are precious things that must be preserved. This is the law of the little.

This👆, but without the “/s”.

This is just how you sanely organize digits when you have to split them. It’s either down the middle (12345:67890), pairs (or odds&evens depending on how you look at it), or 0:123:456:789:0.

I would be more infuriated if it was 1-7 on one side, and then 890CXYZ on the other.
