Don’t forget leading zeroes, we’re not half assing this!
- Comment on Despite constitutional limit, Trump says he's seeking a way to serve 3rd presidential term 4 weeks ago:
one tactic is for him to serve as VP under someone else who promises to resign to allow Trump to serve again
According to the 12th amendment, “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”
This seems pretty plain to me: if you can’t serve as president, you also can’t serve as vice president. Of course, this has never been tested in court…
- Comment on If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s. 3 months ago:
In most restaurants I saw there was no wall in between.
This was my experience as well. I can still see it today in some older restaurants that haven’t been renovated in years, where there’s an area of the dining room with a much higher ceiling.
- Comment on Hear me out, a Fediverse client that mimics Nintendo's Miiverse 5 months ago:
what is the Miiverse?
It was a sort of social space Nintendo ran on the 3DS and Wii U. Kind of combination chat room and message board with a space where Miis (Nintendo avatars) could “hang out”. It could also be used to send messages though games, like you could leave a message as a sort of note in Mario Maker or Splatoon. I thought it was kind of cool, tbh.
not sure if I’m too old, too young or too poor
It was shut down in…no. 2017 was not 7 years ago. No.
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 5 months ago:
In many US rural areas, home internet connections have a monthly cap
And suburban, and urban. I’ve never lived anywhere that didn’t have a cap.
- Comment on “I am still alive”: Users say T-Mobile must pay for killing “lifetime” price lock 5 months ago:
I still have the T-Mobile G1 phone plan.
Man that was a great phone.
My plan isn’t quite that old, but it’s getting up there. They recently increased my price by a few dollars per line. Then they tried to get me to move to a current plan, which turned out to be 20% higher price for less return. I had to try not to burst out laughing at the poor guy’s face.
I’ve been with TMo for more than 20 years–they’re the only carrier I’ve ever used–but if my price goes up again I’m jumping ship.
- Comment on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Team Disbanded After Critically Lauded Platformer Fails to Meet Expectations - Report 5 months ago:
OK but did it really flop or where they expecting it to sell a morbillion units weekly?
Sources say that Ubisoft was expecting The Lost Crown to sell similarly to the biggest Metroidvania’s in the market, with millions of units sold in a relatively short space of time. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has sold approximately one million units at the time of writing.
- Comment on We need to build an Yggsrasil 5 months ago:
We can’t even take care of that, how could we care for an Yggdrasil?
“Mom I want an Yggdrasil”
“We have Yggdrasil at home”
- Comment on You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first 6 months ago:
When I read the shelter in place order from my governor, its definition of “essential businesses” was so broad it would have been shorter to list businesses not covered.
