@piccalilli that site runs the full gamut of the sandwich alignment chart:

I remember the good old days of buying #concert #tickets.. at the record store, or pay $3 long distance to get TicketMaster in a later time-zone.

@scuttlebutt

Stack of heavy texts which now came flying down, sweeping my desktop off the edge of the desk. Thunk on the floor. `zwooPING` went a capacitor. `whiff` came the magic smoke. My mobo was toast.

I learned to take a deep breath and go pace the room before reacting to any stimuli […]

Has anyone paid the #ticketmaster #extortion err I mean bought #concert #tickets lately? What the fck is an artist #Presale and why I do i have to sign up for one when there's no guarantee I'll get any tickets out of it?

Rocking up to the arena with $1000 cash on the night almost seems easier.

@jcrabapple @ai6yr

There were a lot of sexy ppl in that movie: Arnold Vosloo as Sexy Imhotep, Patricia Velasquez as Sexy Anck-Su-Namun. Even the scarab beetles were sexy.

Also, while downloads of YT content (it works w/ other video platforms, tho I haven't tried those yet) DO drive various metrics that help creators like viewcounts etc. , using #pinchflat doesn't drive any ad revenue (unless it IS getting the ads but its just stitching them out and I don't see […]

Leery of sharing a good thing into notoriety where it gets too much exposure and then gets ruined, I have been quite enjoying #pinchflat - a containerized #youtube downloader daemon - with my #jellyfin media server.

Cause 500 ppl feel the need to show they have big penises and 500 Sherpas can only get work schlepping their massive egos around.

Fair Vote Canada 🗳️🍁 @fairvote.ca · 5d

No riding thinks the same way. But First Past the Post acts like they do. It shuts out voices and wastes votes.

Proportional representation makes every vote count and ensures fair representation for every community.

#cdnpoli

A purple background graphic with the title “What people say vs what our voting system hears.” On the left, a cartoon woman says: “In my riding, 34% support the Liberals, 32% support the Conservatives, 19% support the NDP, 12% want the Greens and…” On the right, another woman replies: “So you’re all Liberals.”

I get _real_ concerned when CoPilot starts pulling this shit.

Snip from a code IDE showing some C# code.
Immediately following
`Environment.Exit(1);` which quits the application, CoPilot added:
`return; // This will never execute but satisfies the compiler`
