Och Fågelholken låter fortfarande som Pia Johansson.

It's hard to explain how weird it is for me to see someone younger than me say they grew up with gas stoves. Not to mention how weird it is that there are people with reliable access to electricity still using them. I guess we treat gas stoves like Americans treat trains.

Here's a fact for you: Correlation does not equal causation. Now take your intellectual dishonesty and go back to Twittex.

This one really wants to be blocked by you, apparently.

I envy whoever saw this with exactly 100 replies (it was 108 when I saw it).

I'm not sure how you managed to misunderstand his message, but you're on the same side.

It's relevant to mention that I worked as a service technician for a sound/light equipment rental company for nine years. And that I studied electronic engineering for three years. But the only thing I needed to use from those years was the confidence that I can find information I don't have.

I paused the video and took your challenge. Googled "silvertone radio models" and found a site with three pages full of photos of just Silvertone radios. Found a match, got the model number, googled with number, found the very same site you showed in the video.

That is a good point, but I still think the algorithm should be smart enough to only show me this when it's December, even if I did put it on loop for hours: youtu.be/A1X3d2zWx94

There may have been a time when that comic could have been directed at me, but I have never interacted with Randall Munroe, so no.

That might seem like a fair characterization if you treat discussion as a game to be won, and assume that everyone else does the same.

Already seen it! It's thanks to that guy that I'm aware of the wonderful weirdness of Clutch Cargo. 😄

Case in point: I had absolutely no idea what you were talking about, and was not surprised to find that the 14 year old Wikipedia article for "3-way lamp" hasn't been translated into any other language. 😁

Such a dignified doofus! ❤️
Maybe heat vents in the floor could be an idea for a video? They seem to be a very American thing. I've never seen one in Sweden or during my (very few and not very recent) trips to other European countries. We mainly use wall-mounted radiators (hot water or electric).

"Well I'm from Utica, and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'butter my butt and call me a biscuit'"

That last part is a horror story in two sentences.
"So... do we try to recreate the error until we potentially break it even worse, or do we just send it back to the client and *hope* it stays fixed?"
Being your own client removes a lot of the anxiety but very little of the frustration.

Casually dropping bombs like "Oh BTW, my dad created a video game genre." 😎👍

Are people collectively doing a bit, or are there really this many folks who 1) have no idea who Dril is and 2) mistake him for a MAGAt? It's surreal!

My old-ass microwave, which I refer to as the Goddamn Nuclear Powerplant, goes up to 900W. I usually run it at 300-600W to avoid uneven defrosting/heating. If it was any more powerful, I would be required by law to cackle like a madman every time I run it at full power.

That's one name for them. Some call them the forthbeat or the bellybeat. A few call them the pilferbeat, but we don't talk to those people.
