What decade is it?

Best buy has been on my “one-bad-black-friday bankrupsy” bet for years, yet they seemed to have survived the death of Sears, Radioshack, Circuit City, and Frys Electronics…

For me, as a customer, they are the shop of last resort. I will go literally anywhere else because they will likely have the thing, but no specific models. If you need an SSD, RAM (lol no in todays market) or a cable they will likely have it, but its going to be a smaller range than Microcenter, if time is no object, just order exactly what you need.

The thing I will give them credit for is keeping the home theatre market, I feel that only a fool will buy a TV without physically looking at it first (they turn the blue up, just an FYI).

That is some vintage meme ya got there.

I did the green bean casarolle this year and also have been asked to double the roaster carrots next year. I dont even like roasted carrots, but sure, people seem to like em.

I dont see nuttin in no rule book that a dog cant fly and airplane.

Honestly, I was only interested in the hardware. Nokia made most of the phones that ran Windows phone and they made bricks.

Sigh… Your supposed to let it run for a second when you switch drinks. Noone wants to drink homeopathic Fanta, or I-Cant-Believe-Its-Not Coke with lime.

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

Why isnt it working?

Is this a Mr. Poopybutthole reference?

I raise thee…

Wowhead

I had a friend involved in the hunt for this… Was a sight to behold and the look of disbelief when the devs called them on their obsession.

Yah… Another casualty of the Netflix.

You know you messed up when the biggest fanboy of the IP (who is built like a greek statue) wants to play the main character, and then walks away because they feel that the producers are no longer adapting the thing they were a fan of and are off writing their own fanfic.

I dont mind that, so long as the food is cheap.

My personal limit for that is ~20$, anything less than that and within reason, I wont question buying anyone food. Calories are important and im not going to judge people that quickly, have a pizza.

I prefer to have that meal repaid in the future with an IOU or another meal rather dealing with money, also the social connections are more important.

On the flip side, if I never see that person again. 20$ well spent.

Most people live in the northern hemisphere, winter in January is cold and miserable for a lot of the planet. What do you think people are supposed to do inside? Play checkers?

You dont write the number of feet in a mile as 14A0 (base-16 for this example).

Your complaining about ratios used for unit conversion, not base numeral systems… Fuck, this feels like a slashdot comment.

The feet to mile conversion is still in base-10… Its the ratios between the units that are seemingly arbitrary. Come on…

[insert monty python “Bring out your dead” sketch here]

The historic context that makes Inferno so damn funny is that Dante wrote most of it while in exile from Florence and had a massive axe to grind with the people responsible for it. Glossing over the boring parts you can find on his wikipedia page, his family, and by extension Dante were supporters of a political party within the papal states (early 1300s) and they got ousted from their positions. While traveling around Italy, he penned “The Divine Comedy”, a story about himself bumming around the christian afterlife with the Roman poet Virgil.

Overly Sarcastic Productions has a good overview of the basic plot Link, and Im quite a fan of their work (this is one of their older videos). The part that this meme is calling attention to is that Dante wrote several recently deceased popes and many of his political rivals into his self-insert fan-fiction of hell (Inferno). In modern parlance, he was being a massive troll, but that work is also so influential that many practicing christans can’t tell the difference between their afterlife according to their own scripture (which there is very little actual description of) and its pop-culture interpritation by our Italian mad lad condeming people who screwed him over in life to enternal torment in his own renaissance live-journal.

Thats the scary part, in 2023 that was a good way to identify AI slop. Its getting tricky now and you need an eye for detail and lighting. By 2027, I fear people wont be able to tell the difference.

Is this what yall think poutine looks like?!?

Canadadians, shield your eyes!!!
