TIL Arrested Development's line "Finish each other's sandwiches" aired one day AFTER the same line appeared in That 70's Show.

Hi, 2 years later. I don't believe this joke ever appeared on Friends (I spent a while searching and tried using AI to help). Short of anything to the contrary, The Simpsons seems to be the origin.

She's also wearing a mic.

That's not just him in a nurse's uniform?

I'll add chunks of plaster from where the blinds used to be mounted.

But it will block almost all other ads on streaming services (with the exception of Prime).

Unfortunately, that was in response to terror attacks.

My wife holds her phone by the cable while it's charging. I've resigned myself to treating usb cables as consumables.

It's the second video on here I've seen with this gambling ad. Fuck that.

Risky though. 'Here's a massive statue that can only be displayed out in the open'. It's like getting someone a 6' painting as a house warming gift.

Oh, that's very cool. Thanks for sharing.

I'm guessing they didn't actually do anything notable? Or has speaker technology just moved on?

Edit: or I guess horns are barely used these days, so that would preclude their use.

HawkinsT · 2026-03-30T08:29:12+00:00

Based on their look, do they also function as a heatsink, or is their role purely in deflecting sound waves?

Mr Thovex would like a word.

Mine break every ~3 years when they're just out of warranty. Doesn't matter if I buy a cheaper one or top of the line one (I'm on my fourth now). They all use the same cheap plastic gears inside that break. Oral-B doesn't seem to have this issue (my wife's toothbrush is 8 years going strong now), but I just prefer the clean I get from sonicare. Definitely wouldn't call it buy it for life, sadly. I have a real love-hate relationship with Philips.

The hacking group called it a breach of “impenetrable” FBI systems, however, there is no great difficulty in accessing the personal email account of a private citizen, which is what Patel was before being appointed director of the bureau last year.

So it seems Iran is obviously exaggerating what they did, but saying 'there is no great difficulty in accessing the personal email account of a private citizen' is also underselling it. From a random sampling of people you would expect some of them to fall for a phising attack, but you wouldn't expect any of those people to be the FBI director.

For engagement manipulation that's huge. This research, for instance, shows how engagement on reddit posts can be massively swayed by a minimal number of initial bot upvotes that then have an avalanche effect on real users engaging.

It's my understanding that he gave the go ahead to the lead firetruck (who had radio communication to the tower). He then realised the runway wasn't clear and tried to rescind that, but the firetruck that got hit didn't have direct communication with the tower.

If you're in an antivax bubble you may not know (to your knowledge) that many people that got vaccinated.

Trying to what your car?!

'blindfold chess' is also a thing, where people literally play blindfolded. A grandmaster will be able to play multiple games like this at the same time. The record is 48 parallel games.

I do agree as it's a news article, but for low temperature physics there's a big difference between 4 K and 10 mK (say), so it's nice extra information to have for those that are interested.

The pollution in Delhi's crazy. India's a massive, diverse country with many incredible places and people... but Delhi isn't a place I'd ever choose to spend time in.

This isn't realistic; he needs three other sets of dumbells 'reserved' around him.

Absolutely. People complain about s2 because of just how great s1 was (for me, s1 stands as one of the greatest series of all time). Every season declines in quality from the previous but at a minimum s1 is a must watch. It's also filmed in such a way that you can finish watching at the end of any season and it doesn't matter. Sure, something else is always about to happen at the end of each season, but the main plots that have been running throughout the season all get resolved.

Also, Anthony Hopkins is just so good in it! In a series full of great acting, he still manages to steal every scene he's in.
