Why do Americans answer the phone with "Gopher"?

Jump

  • I don't think I've ever heard someone say that at the start of a phone call but it's common when communicating with two-way radios like:

    "Alex for John, over"

    "Go for John, over"

    ""

    I mostly heard that when working in large retail stores, usually the walkie talkies have an end-transmission sound que so we didn't actually have to say 'over' at the end

  • I finally decided to start reading the Warhammer books and ordered Horus Rising, so I should get started on that next week. All the cyberpunk and SF stuff I've seen on Lemmy lately has me itching to re-read Necromancer. I haven't read Count Zero yet, for some reason I only have Neuromancer and Mona Lisa Overdrive, so I think I'll order that soon too

  • Not mine, but I remember an old d&d quip, maybe from tumblr: Door mat at the dungeon entrance with a sign that says 'please wipe your feet', door mat is a rug of smothering that attacks anyone who doesn't >:)

    • What is your favorite filament?

  • I have Hatchbox PLA in most colors and it works fine for me. If I want to make something more rugged I use eSun PLA+. I also have a couple spools of Tecsonar multicolor PLA filament and those prints always come out looking great!
