What do you call a bra stretched across a doorway?

They famously had no coherent plan for the sequel trilogy, so each film lurched off in its own weird direction.

It’s truly mind-boggling how badly Disney screwed up what should’ve been a slam dunk.

‘Sue-it’

Almost all of the references on that wiki page are from the last couple of months - I assume it’s been trending on social media recently.

I realise it’s not really the point here, but calling Jeffrey Epstein a celebrity seems comically reductive.

Like, yeah, technically I guess it’s true? But it’s not the word that springs to mind when most people think of him. Made me chuckle.

I did not! I actually had one back in the day and never had battery issues, but pretty funny to hear it was a common complaint.

(Still, I think the broader point stands.)

Given the pace of technological progress, I doubt a phone bought today will be all that useful (except as a retro novelty) in 20 years time, let alone 100.

How many people do you think are still daily-driving a Motorola KRZR? It’s not because of the battery life.

Yes to all except Outer Wilds.

I love OW but it is not a game to recommend to someone who explicitly says they want a game with no time pressure. Time pressure is literally a core mechanic.

Split in Croatia sounds like it’d fulfill basically all of your criteria.

I don’t think betting on sports should be illegal. The problem is the endless advertising and the way sportsbooks have invaded and completely taken over sports coverage in the media. Feels like literally everything now is just about discussing under/overs and what Vegas thinks.

Call me crazy but I miss when sports was about sports.

Tiger bread is very versatile - good for toast, good for sandwiches, good for dipping in soup, etc.

I’m not sure I know anyone who doesn’t like tiger bread.

I’m also only just learning that it’s a Dutch invention? It’s sold in every supermarket in the UK. Seemingly came out of nowhere here in the early 2010s.

They broke RIF with the API changes, and Voyager for Lemmy was the recommended alternative at the time. Still here 3 years later.

I haven’t fully deleted my Reddit account because, as much as I hate to admit it, the site is often a good source of information for hobby projects etc, but I’ve gone completely read-only. I get what I need and then leave - no voting, no comments, no messaging.

Wasn’t there a viral Reddit post for a similar issue where someone recommended sucking on the left earbud and it worked?

I’d be interested to know exactly when this was published. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a satirical take on a shortage of switchboard operators in Hungary at the time.

Kind of funny to see how much longer the original German is to express the same dialogue, even accounting for the difference in font size.

For extra context: szünet is Hungarian for intermission

Ah, I didn’t consider that! It’s not a thing in the UK.

You mean if there was enough traffic ahead of you at the lights that by the time you reached them they’d gone red again? In that scenario you still pulled forwards and then had to stop again, so I’d consider it two stops.

It’s only one stop if you stopped once and then didn’t move at all between one red light and the next (in which case either the entire queue is blocked from entering the junction, or you’re doing something wrong).

Not these days. Apple hasn’t launched a new product with the ‘i’ prefix since Steve Jobs was around.

This article is a couple of years old but goes into some of the factors involved. It specifically covers mobile SOCs but they’re still ARM.

That said, I’m no hardware expert so others may be able to explain in more detail.
