I wonder if this is a weird abstraction of the news a few years ago about Apple throttling phones as the battery capacity degrades, or possibly because of the new smart charging that iOS does when it recognizes a pattern and particular charger and limits charge current for overnight charging, which helps maintain capacity.

Or are there just insane Facebook people making this shit up.

LoRa can get pretty far, but we’ll also be returning to the days of modem speed data.

You sunk cost fallacy, plus even worse is the unknown unknowns buried in a codebase no current dev (human or not) built.

$4k gets a couple more beaters off marketplace. But you gotta know what to look for and live in a state lax intersection rules.

The EV conversion guys like me are all rubbing our hands together to get our hands on cheap donor teslas to stick in much cooler old cars.

Yeah whenever I need lumber I plan to set aside at least half an hour to dig through the piles to find OK boards.

Can just switch to the next instance. There are dozens!

But seriously fucking the tankies.

We need a urinal cake company to step up and start selling grave shaped cakes to piss on.

Could start with Kissinger, or even preemptive graves for Trump or Musk for the less patient.

Maybe Cards Against Humanity could sell them.

I think that’s also part of the joke. As the protagonist continues to do normal things like eat dinner at a restaurant.

That’s not from shrinkage (well the 1/16 might be, especially newer fast heated junk at the Homely Despot). It’s from when they mill the rough sawn 2x4 down to “finished size”. You can buy actual 2x4s, but they won’t have the nice planned surfaces or beveled edges.

I’m not wondering why it’s that sized, I’m annoyed why they insist on calling both rough saw and finished items 2x4s.

And I also forgot about the Mainers and their two-by-faws

What’s even more annoying is that a 2x4 (pronounced two-by-four) isn’t 2 by 4 inches. It’s 1.5 x 3.5 (sometimes even a 1/16 under).

It’s all because of some unfinished lumber bullshit, but it’s still not as confusing as pipe and hose fitting sizing at least.

I have but I can never remember what the archaic meanings of half the buffaloes are. Also I thought one of the verb buffalo was supposed to be past tense.

Here’s a bunch of better examples (it’s a 1 minute video).

We haven’t gotten dumb enough. The buttfuckers restaurants are still right around the corner.

Once AI lets us get too dumb to read we’ll be closer than ever.

Also any language where through and threw sound identical doesn’t deserve much respect.

Or something weird like extra teeth.

“Help, when you have a minute… No rush.”

Don’t lots of us die falling off of toilets?

When the fuck did drawers become draws?
