Lunch menus everywhere I’ve gone give smaller portions vs. the dinner menu to justify the lottery lower price. I’d love some lunch portions (and prices) for dinner as an option.

Happy hour is a good analogy though, except that they publish the prices and times 24/7 so it’s not a surprise like surge pricing is turning into.

I have an old mopping robot that doesn’t connect to the Internet, but even that doesn’t get used much. At least these aren’t running around with live feed cameras though…

That’s the business version. They’re moving full steam ahead on the home unit.

An arcade cabinet console would be pretty cool…

Look at his android to answer a question about iPhones?

Sometimes.

Sorry I ran my mouth off a bit too much What did I say?

Where are all of the good toddlers with guns when you need them??

Awesome, thanks!

This is good to hear! Do you have the surface keyboard and pen? I’m guessing the keyboard is probably straightforward, and there probably aren’t many uses for the pen other than precision touching the screen, which is fine.

Why would liberals care if you post this? They’re the ones that don’t give a shit what your kink is.

Back in my day, you paid $20-$30 for a new cartridge or tape and you fucking loved it. That’s about $60-$90 in today’s money.

The purchase price hasn’t changed much, it’s the add on expansions, online access, micro transactions, and miscellaneous bullshit.

This does not apply where I am. May be your store or regional manager influence.

The best dry humor is that which the audience has to assume is meant to be funny, because the alternative is that it’s just the sad reality…

Just imagine if they hadn’t taken this approach. We might be paying for services and still not getting any privacy.

You’re a weird dude. Go find something to do that makes you happy. Whatever you’ve got now isn’t working.

My original point was that Fahrenheit is more useful as a gauge of human comfort temperature.

But now you’ve made my other point that there is a not-insignificant number of people, like you, who’s identity is so wrapped up in the perceived superiority of all things metric that you get your panties in a twist at the slightest challenge. It’s honestly funny.

I mean, look at you for example. You voluntarily joined a conversation to go off on an unhinged rant and call me names. Just take a moment to think about your life and the choices you’ve made to bring you to this point where you lose your shit over a unit of measure.

I’d just say 52, but keep raging.

And base 3 sometimes (yards). When taught well, there’s a ton of value in learning to quantify the world in a variety of base systems.

Not uniquely American, but thinking in base 7 (weeks), base 12 (years, hours, feet), base 60 (minutes), base 3 (yards), base 10 (the default unless told otherwise), etc. really helps you adapt and estimate a number of other, unrelated, things.

There is another! Woo hoo!

It’s kind of telling (and hilarious to me) how many comments I was able to spawn just by saying, “I like Fahrenheit better”. People using Celsius for daily, is-it-comfy-for-a-human use absolutely lose their shit if you challenge them.

We all subjectively are more used to our scales

Definitely agree. We’re comfortable with what we grew up with and there’s nothing wrong with that.

For water, however, freezing pretty bang on zero … Which I’d argue is an objective benefit over Fahrenheit for weather.

Ehhh, only if you have to think of freezing as zero. For us Fahrenheiters, “above 0” is cold but manageable with a coat. “below 0” means don’t go outside unless you have to. That’s a pretty convenient gauge to me.

Negative? Freezing. Looks great on a graph

Of course. If you’re plotting shit on a graph then you’re likely doing lab work, and I’ll agree that celsius is a great scale. Not for daily “how’s the weather” use though.
