I think it's more like "Nissan".

I remember landlines in the UK actually operating like this in the nineties. If you hung up, the line would stay open until the caller ended the call. It doesn't make any sense and I remember being surprised when it didn't happen when the caller was on a mobile phone.

Maybe our cable company's exchanges were misconfigured? I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen these days. You could never hang up on unsolicited sales calls for example.

Also as the registrant of one of those new fancy TLDs, much like the owner of this website (email.wtf), their own email addresses will fail those stupid email validation checks that only believe in example@example.[com|net|org]

Shitty websites will fail "[email protected]", guaranteed - despite it being 100% valid AND potentially live.

Source - I have a ".family" domain for my email server. Totally functional, but some shitty websites refuse to believe it.

Sounds like a medicine I shouldn't take before asking my doctor if it's right for me.

Always tip on the subtotal. If your server worked their ass off for your table but you had a coupon for, let's say, 50% off 2 entrees and a birthday dessert, that's just devalued their effort by about $50.

Also, the tipping culture is broken, and this is bonkers.

I came from a tipping-optional culture and worked foodservice. If I got good tips, they went back into the bar at the end of the shift, or into my savings jar at home. It was never make-or-break on whether I got to pay rent or not.

What's the difference between a tuna and a piano?

I would argue that the British TV personality is more broadly well known. Thdt might change with this guy's sudden notoriety.

We need NHTSA to put out TV spots to get the message out, and little signs to say USE FULL LANES -ZIP MERGE IN XXX FEET

When I was growing up in the UK, Department for Transport or whomever always had TV and radio ads reminding people how to drive: take longer to look for bikes, don't hang out next to a big lorry (truck) blind spot, don't drink and drive, it's hard to focus on two things at once so put your phone away while driving, etc. And they still do this. We need more of that elsewhere too.

Wow. This is awesome. Thank you! I will have to see if the dev has a donate button.

FWIW I had to noodle with the spacing of your json after copying from Lemmy (Voyager android app) but I got it to work. Thanks for sharing!

Um. Okay. He's left the building I guess, so this is for the rest of us:

It's just conversation. I'd like if the civilized remainder of this comment section could let me know if I'm coming across as a troll.

Also consider complaining to the secretary of state perhaps? Idk, it's not city tax revenue so not likely, but it's still fraud. But I would definitely consider a chargeback. This is just like in the old days when managers or severs would scribble in a different tip and total on the merchant copy.

Been planning to do this just because; now it seems it's strictly necessary.

Gotta figure out how docker, containerization and all that jazz works. I have an account with hetzner but just web/sql hosting and a managed Nextcloud instance - no vps yet.

Seems like a Saturday project that I hope I can get round to.

I'm just shocked he used the proper grammar and got the phrase right. It irks me when people say they "could" care less, when they mean the opposite.

Edit: typo

Task failed successfully.

It gets even better if you imagine the dude from dinosaur dinner theatre reading that out in his old time narrator voice

Facts are "far left" /s

I see what you're driving at, but CCTV cameras are recording 24/7 on the offchance that the footage is needed, just in case, by a body who is often regulated and monitored. Whereas the concern with the glasses is that they are operated by an otherwise anonymous individual and the recording is more likely to be targeted rather than a broadly cast net.

The very reason the first camera phones had to be re-engineered to add mandatory shutter sounds to them.

It's okay, you can also deeply regret his tragic birth, too.

Well, it's the Express, so... It panders to the deluded folk amongst the population of the UK that wish they could get a dose of Trumpist Populism™.
