We must befriend the Ja’Vi so we can extract all their unobjainium

How many times do I have to tell you, take your jleats off before you walk on the jarpet!

I love black licorice. Developed a taste for it as a kid because it was the only candy available at my grandparents house. Now if I’m hanging out with buddies and I don’t want them mooching off my snacks, I’ll bring black licorice. I’ve only met one other person that wanted some and I was happy to share haha

I have no strong feelings one way or the other!

Just don’t forget to add the crystals or else Uncle Rico is gunna throw you over that mountain

Kinda saw the writing on the wall the past few years, but damn. That’s a big part of my childhood right there

Call of Duty 3

I loved 2 and 4, but I think 3 only came out on the original Xbox and the PS2? I’m probably misremembering that, but I know a PC port was never made cause boy, I’d love to try it but don’t think it exists

Was there a scandal where a chess player had a vibrating buttplug controlled by another person giving him the answers? That’s….dedication I guess

Oh nice! Happy to have helped! To be honest there’s not much else I can remember from the book either haha.

Oh haha yep that’s it! Guess I shoulda tried googling Cory Doctorow first. Thank you!

I aughtta give that another read

I remember reading a book about this hacker student kid that would do that to sneak out of the school because they had gait recognition cameras. Can’t remember the name of the book though…

Yeah I kinda agree with you on that one. The power of AI to quickly drive a meme into the ground is becoming apparent

Yeah I was gunna say, I’ve actually seen a video of these being made and totally forgot about them until seeing this. It’s an actual product you can buy lol

Is this a reference to the Asian dude that somehow maneuvered himself into a public toilet and ended up dying of hypothermia because he was halfway submerged in sewage overnight?

Oh yeah! I played Burnout Legends on my psp for years. A couple years ago I pulled it back out and played it again, so many good memories.

Loved listening to “Lights and Sounds” by Yellowcard

“one of the first to take mobile audio quality seriously”

Is this referring to iPods? If so, then I agree. Hell, the first gen iPods are super sought after because they can use FLAC audio files. Although Apple has their own “lostless” audio codec now, so idk if it’s that big of a deal.

AirPods? Sure it’s impressive the noice canceling features in such a small package, but Bluetooth audio was nothing new and now they’re required because Apple removed the headphone jack.

I loved my 2017 LG ThinQ because it not only had a headphone jack, but it had a built in audio DAC to provide extra power to my Sennheiser studio headphones and it sounded soooo good.

Yeah I agree, despite all the recent events, I’m still not worried at all about flying. The number of car crash complications I watch on YouTube make me extra cautious while driving, but I’ve never felt in danger while flying, even in heavy turbulence

Wow that’s some gold level sportsmanship and a genuinely great human being

My dad was recently telling me that (in the USA) headlights were regulated to something like 130 watts (or amps, idk. It was something about the amount of power used by the bulbs). This was back when halogen bulbs were used for headlights, and there was an effort to try and pump the most amount of brightness out of them while staying within the power limits.

Then LED became more and more common and that power limit was basically a nonissue. Manufacturers could then turn up the brightness as much as they wanted and that’s why headlights are such a problem now
