They gave that as an example. POV just seems to be used an an unnecessary prefix to stating an opinion.

A bit like to “useless ‘nobody:’” line before a meme caption.

Yeah, pram is a British term. Or pushchair.

They’ve found an actual calculator. They’re just calling it a “live action app”, similar to saying “3d printed save icon” for a floppy disc.

Metric units are frequently used in US school coursework.

I just randomly looked around the kitchen and everything seems to have both units!

Maybe it’s due to being in LA, but I’ve seen plenty of bright colors, an iridescent finish once or twice, and occasionally Angeline Pink.

At the US passport office, there’s a sheet on the desks showing how to write each letter as cursive. I think that they only accept signatures written in cursive, based on what I heard.

So how can it be your signature is they can tell you that you’re doing it the wrong way?

Edit: from what I read, it’s not a requirement, but they were definitely about to point someone to the chart before seeing that the signature was cursive.

I have eaten fish fingers in the UK and fish sticks in the US. The UK ones are delicious. This meme is not from someone who has ever eaten them.

It’s worth pointing out to the rest of the world that the US packets actually say “NET WT 9g” on them.

Whatever happened to fractal image compression, which compressed an image by finding parts similar to larger regions of the picture, so that is could reconstruct the image from itself.

It really does look more broken the more I look. I began to think that it would sort odd and even lists in opposite orders, since half the time it’s comparing pairs the opposite way around.

Blobbyland video.

Bonus beans tin near the end (since that’s a thing again).

This pic is an acoustic coupler, which played sounds and listened to them from the handset. Modems would connect directly to the phone circuit, bypassing actual sound waves (although they did still have a little speaker so the you could hear what they received).

Fly around in Google Earth if you want to get a sense of the actual scale.

There are at least three Technology Connections videos about kettles. Including one where he connects a 120V US kettle to his car charger to speed it up.

I just started watching Ed Pratt’s “unicycle across the USA” YouTube videos, and it starts with him meeting a group who do that.

I’ve recently noticed web forms and appointment emails start to use that format. Maybe web devs are sneaking it in bit by bit.

This is the (year-month-) day.

Maybe your band was standing much too close together.

Yo Gabba Gabba has a “don’t bite your friends” song. (Although it’s not in the same league as some of their better songs or the guest bands that they have.)
