I used to work at a retail store not even ten years ago, and we would submit delivery orders via fax. It's weird until you realize they're great for reliability and record-keeping. No batteries needed, totally existing infrastructure, kinda fun to use tbh.
The 1902 International Library of Technology simply uses jack for the female and plug for the male connector.[3] The 1989 Sound Reinforcement Handbook uses phone jack for the female and phone plug for the male connector.[4] Robert McLeish, who worked at the BBC, uses jack or jack socket for the female and jack plug for the male connector in his 2005 book Radio Production.[5] The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, as of 2007, says the more fixed electrical connector is the jack, while the less fixed connector is the plug, without regard to the gender of the connector contacts.[6] The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 1975 also made a standard that was withdrawn in 1997.[7]
The intended application for a phone connector has also resulted in names such as audio jack, headphone jack, stereo plug, microphone jack, aux input, etc. Among audio engineers, the connector may often simply be called a quarter-inch to distinguish it from XLR, another frequently used audio connector. These naming variations are also used for the 3.5 mm connectors, which have been called mini-phone, mini-stereo, mini jack, etc.
RCA connectors are differently shaped, but confusingly are similarly named as phono plugs and phono jacks (or in the UK, phono sockets). 3.5 mm connectors are sometimes—counter to the connector manufacturers' nomenclature[8]—referred to as mini phonos.[9]
Confusion also arises because phone jack and phone plug may sometimes refer to the RJ11 and various older telephone sockets and plugs that connect wired telephones to wall outlets.
I feel like a lot of these numbers, both the "estimated" and "actual" are just outright fucking wrong. Every single person I grew up with was at least some level of gay or bisexual. I get what they're going for, but they're also dramatizing it by picking more extreme numbers. Like I'd bet that only 30% of people are actually, truly cishet, if not even lower.
Then there's the problem of a single number of "estimated", which can only be an average number. Which contains, likely, some juicy demographics data, assuming they actually polled enough people and kept all the information. I'd be curious to see graphs for each and every number presented here.
Every single one of these people is a human rights violator and should be tried for such, along with being some of the most corrupt, hateful people in history.
I remember watching the pilot for the show, I was like, "oh this could be refreshing away from the stupidity of the rest of tv!". I was already onto anime by that point and had entirely stopped watching cable.
But no. Apparently, when the actual show started airing, it was EXACTLY as you describe, and a massive disappointment. Xbox and bad quips and trying to get girls? Absolutely not.
WEATHER! Ah, that's what that little gray smudge is supposed to be. I see it, now. I thought maybe it was semen in water or cotton or like black and white tie-dye.
