I’ve heard that you can trick kids into acting drunk by giving them fake booze but telling them that it’s real.
Anecdotally, a friend of mine once drank two beers at his 21st birthday party. At the time he weighed 250 lbs. He immediately got “drunk”, took his shirt off and fell asleep on the floor. It was amusing to watch for a bit, then it was just annoying.
XKCD, if he were a little more macabre.
If the title is a question, the answer is no
A student of Betteridge, I see.
Are there any justifiable reasons that it’s okay to be on speakerphone in public?
I once saw this question asked on the other site, and there was at least one good response. It was from someone who used a hearing aid, and said that for whatever reason, using the phone normally next to their ear resulted in the audio being garbled and difficult to understand, but using the speaker held a few inches away was fine, so that’s how they preferred to use it.
This is glory redefined.
Top-tier, ABCnews. Fucking learn how to edit.
Did you also catch that he was identified as “R-Indiana” in the video?
Citizenship as a Service
Ubisoft has entered the chat.
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…

doesn’t it usually only last a day or two?
From the article:
U.S. flag code dictates that flags remain lowered for the 30-day period from the death of a former president. But that code isn’t mandatory, so once he becomes president, Trump could technically override it.
So I gather the answer to your question is “yes, but also no”.
Popeye vs Tintin vs Pooh
Actually that’s such a ridiculous concept I might watch it.

In 10 years, this will be an XKCD comic.
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.
Party A gets 40% of the vote
Party A wins because they get the majority
Just going to point out, 40% is not a majority. In this case they have a plurality.
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.
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.
We can’t even take care of that, how could we care for an Yggdrasil?

When I worked at CompUSA, everyone had sales and card metrics. Including the warehouse crew. Who were virtually never on the floor during operating hours. They were often called out during store meetings, and the manager didn’t like their “excuse” of always being in the back.
