  • I just re-read Man in the High Castle which was written/takes place in the 60s.

    One of the characters wants to know the name of the naval vessel that is currently in port in San Francisco. To do this, he has to call the local newspaper office on a telephone and ask them. Then they call him back with the answer.

    Many parts of the book are anachronistic (because in this alternate reality, the Nazis are colonizing Mars), but I believe that part was accurate because I don't know how else you could get that information.

  • While not every player is not privy to the nightmare of every person in their game becoming with child, those who have the bug are finding a large number of Sims randomly marked as pregnant.

    Who the fuck wrote this?

    Once a character is pregnant, they can’t Woo-Hoo anymore,

    Never pegged The Sims for being so Puritain.

  • Based on the description, my guess is that the script solved the problem of having the line interrupted by only doing a single 56k transaction per phone call.

    Lots of times, phone calls were billed $$$ for the first minute and $ for every minute after that. If her script only did one transaction per call and not even using the full minute, that could add up fast.

    And, given that it took a month for the bill to come, she could have been doing something wrong even during the day. Nobody would have noticed until the bill, and the 1am calls stood out the most when the bill finally came. Maybe there was a local exchange that didn't require long distance?

  • Also from this fine media establishment:

    • Warning: 73% of garden soil contains hidden drain chemicals affecting families for 18 months
    • I tried this 2-ingredient summer mask at 53 and my dark spots faded 70% in 3 weeks (dermatologists explain why)
    • Cold plunge warning: this 15-second exposure raises senior blood pressure by 40 mmHg

    Also, for a writer named "John," he seems to really like wearing women's clothing

    And I don't know where he finds the time to get dressed considering he's written 18 articles so far today some in just 14 minutes.
