Party A gets 40% of the vote

Party A wins because they get the majority

Just going to point out, 40% is not a majority. In this case they have a plurality.

In many US rural areas, home internet connections have a monthly cap

And suburban, and urban. I’ve never lived anywhere that didn’t have a cap.

I still have the T-Mobile G1 phone plan.

Man that was a great phone.

My plan isn’t quite that old, but it’s getting up there. They recently increased my price by a few dollars per line. Then they tried to get me to move to a current plan, which turned out to be 20% higher price for less return. I had to try not to burst out laughing at the poor guy’s face.

I’ve been with TMo for more than 20 years–they’re the only carrier I’ve ever used–but if my price goes up again I’m jumping ship.

OK but did it really flop or where they expecting it to sell a morbillion units weekly?

From another article:

Sources say that Ubisoft was expecting The Lost Crown to sell similarly to the biggest Metroidvania’s in the market, with millions of units sold in a relatively short space of time. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has sold approximately one million units at the time of writing.

We can’t even take care of that, how could we care for an Yggdrasil?

“Mom I want an Yggdrasil”

“We have Yggdrasil at home”

Chewbacca is Bigfoot

There was an out-of-continuity comic where Han Solo crashed the Falcon on Earth; Chewbacca survives and becomes the basis for the Bigfoot legend.

I still don’t know if a USB micro or mini is the one that charges my PS4 controller

It’s Micro-B, to be specific.

I think this is about it coming out of Early Access?

The developer published this trailer on March 15. Looks like they’ve made a channel for the game specifically and republished it there.

What’s France?

“Wester Germany”

If you wrap the TV in tinfoil, it’ll be a faraday cage and block all WiFi

I just keep my TV embedded in a block of lead.

Is this the one where they used footage of New York instead of London?

Yep. From the article:

Issued by Conservative Central Office (CCHQ), it has already been edited and re-uploaded after viewers spotted that one of the dystopian-looking scenes it depicted was of the New York subway rather than the London Tube.

Rail gun hockey sounds entertaining

“And I suppose the Pitch-O-Matic 5000 was just a modified howitzer.”

That’s why I only use “*******” for mine. With the number, it’s more secure.

I guess it works because I can’t see the password.

I used to have a custom ROM that would allow me to change the color based on which app had the most recent notification

Even more than that, in early versions of Android this setting was baked in. I had colors set based on text messages, emails, etc. I think around 2.x was when the option was removed.

Roombo

The precision F-strike.

The British show Taskmaster!

Damn do I love me some Greg Davies. He’s also a riot on Would I Lie To You?

Yes but, how did people know that time went sunwise before the sun?

Back before the solar system was fully formed, it was called “gaswise”.

I need to know where one of these can be procured. For science.

Never seen or heard from anyone using tape to mask their remotes. Is this really a thing?

Not this exactly, but my grandparents had a guide taped to the backside of their remotes to make it easier to use.

The tape strategy has some appeal, though, mainly in that I use maybe 5 buttons 95% of the time.
