Yeah I think part of the joke was Michael had latched on to an existing joke and kept using it in a setting where it wasn’t appropriate, especially since he was the manager.

Prior to the office, it was used in Wayne’s world gags on SNL (late 80s), and Johnny Carson used it before that (70s and 80s).

Apparently it originated from a British version, “said the actress to the bishop” that was used back in the early 1900s in music hall comedy and army banter.

Though the real joke is pointing out sexual innuendo and double meanings (both intentional and unintentional), which goes back at least as far as Shakespeare but is probably older than recorded history.

How big does a wave have to be for a ship of that size to even notice it as anything other than a weight shift?

Some say they are still stuck inspecting those ceiling beams to this very day. It would be the safest pool in the region if it weren’t for the giant lift on a raft stuck in it.

If it’s maintenance they have to do regularly, there might even be a part of the pool tooled for it with arms for the floating block to sit on while they drive the lift on and off normally. Or a ramp with rollers where it gets launched like a boat and a winch to pull it back up the ramp to get out. That last one is my guess, since that whole setup could be portable as long as they had somewhere to anchor the ramp and winch.

Which is kinda funny because they could save money by automating texting for some of the shit they have people call for.

Though on the other hand, if it’s a legitimate business, you can stop the call spam easier, at least in places with enforced do not call lists.

I’d still have to because the new voice mail notification won’t go away until you at least pop in and delete it or listen.

I thought he was a dentist with a hitman friend.

And then Meowrh wishes to remove the bombs team rocket had implanted into them for loyalty reasons.

I got one of those USB dongles that can charge and output analog sound to aux.

There’s a whine that matches my RPMs because the thing doesn’t isolate the voltage from the charger and the audio signal that well. Luckily it isn’t very audible when it’s being driven (the sound, not the car). Oh I also need to unlock my phone before it even drives it and it takes a bit for it to switch over.

The phone needs to convert to analog to drive the speakers anyways, just fucking stick a mux on that to decide whether it drives the speaker amp or an aux wire. If the jack was too thick, imo it would have been better to introduce a new smaller analog jack standard.

Or someone gets the stickers and puts them on a random vehicle in a parking lot.

Hey leave the boulder’s extended family out of this.

Combined with running to become the first extreme sport.

Yeah, that’s my thought, though I have a kid. Doesn’t really matter if I just want to rent one to have fun driving for a bit (other than if she’d find it cool to ride in one). Would be fun for a bit and then a huge liability to own one. Especially with how much attention they’d get. You’d get random butt prints from assholes taking pictures with it, not to mention some others driving nearby will get more aggressive when they see what you’re driving, making accidents more likely. Not to mention everything about it will be very expensive.

And, at least based on video games, you’d barely ever get out of 1st or 2nd gear in normal driving unless you want to risk getting it seized (or worse) for excessive speeding.

Also, make one mistake with the throttle and a video of you spinning into a curb or something could go viral if it’s one of the rear drive supercars.

I’m so tired of the obvious bad photoshops. Like you couldn’t even be bothered to just use the product and take photos of that and instead just paste it into different contexts? Probably means the product wasn’t treated for obvious flaws, maybe even deliberately because then it puts people back on the market when it breaks immediately or is a pain in the ass to use.

I’d like to see a store that curates their products, including retesting after something has been on the shelves because I know some opportunistic assholes will present a good product at first but then silently replace it with a cheaper version if they can get away with it.

The profit motive produces junk. I want a world with an excellence motive.

It made it obvious how government officials will either talk out of their asses or straight up lie. Like telling people everything is fine, go on vacation for spring break, then we’re in lockdown by the middle of spring break (when it was clear that it was a big deal in south Korea and Italy already).

Or repeating “there’s no evidence of it being airborne” long after it was clear that it was airborne.

Plus finding out the science of how particles move in the air medicine was using was decades behind the cutting edge and still believed it was based on the mass of the particle when airplanes existed that could remain airborne well over that “max mass”.

And that’s not even going into Trump’s bullshit.

Kinda like with plastic shopping bags. As we get further and further from the date where they were banned (in Canada), I regret the times when I decided that I had enough of them for now and threw some out.

Though I’ll probably just start using the smaller garbage cans without a bag once I run out and maybe just clean them every now and then instead of actually spending money on any garbage bags other than the big black ones.

Infinite.

I memorized them in numerical order. First there’s a bunch of 0s then a bunch of 1s, followed by 2s, and so on.

I bet the theft is actually about insurance fraud, since that’s probably the only way to get anyone to pay that amount for them.

It can actually be quicker to store them compressed because memory and bus bandwidth is often a bottleneck. So instead of the cpu or gpu wasting cycles waiting for data to be moved, some of that movement time is shifted to the processors by using compression. Especially if there are idle cores that could be put on that task.

As for going from one compression format to another, you could store them in the final format (and convert on install if it differs between hardware setups, repeating if another hardware setup is detected).

Though if there’s any processing done on the uncompressed data (like generating mipmaps or something), that conversion might not even cost extra because it needs to be decompressed and the new data compressed again anyways.

Though on that note, you’d get faster load times by just storing all of those preprocessed and faster install times by just sticking it all in the install download, so there is still a conflict between optimal load speeds and minimal storage space.
