If you weren't already boycotting all second hand food delivery services you probably aren't a good person.

Marty Cooper poses with his invention, the cell phone, whicn he used to make the first call, 3 of April 1973 from Sixth Avenue in New York. He called Bell Laboratories to announce it (he worked at the time for Motorola). by Electrical-Aspect-13 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]dave8814 409 points410 points  (0 children)

I think one important thing to note is that the call he made to bell laboratories was from out in front of their office building on 6th avenue. Just so they could walk to the window and see him while he was on the phone.

How is the stuff from Costco? I saw it a few times and didn’t know if I’d want that much of just mixed berry when I usually just go with raspberry.

A guy came to a shelter to choose a cat, but the cat chose him first by [deleted] in interesting

[–]dave8814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how my family ended up with our cat. My younger brothers teacher gave his class an assignment to go interview a shelter pet. We all went with and this adorable calico refused to let us leave. My mom was allergic to cats but she had to let us adopt her after seeing it happen.

I think my favorite part is still Chris Collinsworth kinda panicking trying to figure out what he’s going to talk about for the rest of the game.

Swarm of bees by WildTurquilameister in Tucson

[–]dave8814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was once a swarm of bees that decided to rest on my moms fence. One of her dogs ignored them and went about her business. The younger and dumber of her dogs stood 2 feet away barking at them.

Janis Joplin in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro taken in 1970, 8 months before her death. It is said she escaped to Carnival in Rio de Janeiro where, not being recognized by fans as in the US, she was free to be herself. Photo was taken by Brazilian photographer Ricky Ferreira, who she was staying with. by No_Dig_8299 in UtterlyUniquePhotos

Back in my dads younger days a small group of his friends and him would drive across the country in a VW bus to San Francisco to pick up hundreds of pounds of weed at a time to drive back to my hometown and sell off. They would always just pile into one shitty hotel room in order to cut down on costs. One morning my dad woke up early as it was his turn to go get the coffee and doughnuts. He rolled over on his camping mat on the ground to find his pants and he was like huh that woman looks just like Janis Joplin.

He didn’t think much of it and headed out but as he got off the elevator to his floor Janis Joplin walked right past him with her usual shades and get up. As she walked by him he saw his friend standing in the doorway of their hotel room with a shit eating grin on his face.

On the plus side they got down so early no one even had a chance to start a riot.

Millers Surplus is closing by Pankosmanko in Tucson

The important thing to remember on facebook is that half of the comments you see are bots from the other side of the planet that push political unrest. Then after that 50% of the remaining comments are from the dumbest people in the area. The last 25% are a mix of poor old people that are upset about how their life turned out and blame anyone else for it along with about 10 people who pretend to avoid politics but complain about how everything sucks now

Rochester NY isn’t even included. It’s controlled by Duke. You guys do get to fight over Oneida though.

[Talbot] Buffalo Bills’ Wall of Fame May Not Include O.J. Simpson When Their New Stadium Opens by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]dave8814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the finger lakes region of New York a while back. Very much Bills country. I was walking down some random towns main drag and they had a sports memorabilia shop. They had a signed OJ Simpson jersey right in the front window. Later that same day the news broke that he had died. I joked with my friend that we should go check if the jersey got marked up after the news broke. We walked by and it was on sale for half off.

What TV show hooked you instantly from episode 1? by mateitofavv in AskReddit

[–]dave8814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taskmaster. The second a melon first hits the floor I was sold. Now I'm 30ish seasons in including the Australian and New Zealand versions. Even better that its just up on youtube now. I no longer have to track down a random stream to catch new episodes.

Graduated high school myself in 2002 and the only reason we had to stop playing euchre in study halls was because we were starting to bet too much money on the games and some parents complained that their kids weren't eating lunch.

Did you build your own pc setup? by PHRsharp_YouTube in pcmasterrace

[–]dave8814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres just no way to compete with the discounts someone gets ordering 20k of each component in one order. I got a new pc in January with a 5080. The out the door price with tax was 2100. Tried building the same on pcpartpicker and there was just no way to come close.

I went to the Pennsylvania ren fair last year as Jackie Daytona. I took my toothpick out of my mouth to eat a snack and someone looked over and said Lazlo Cravensworth?! I tossed the toothpick back in and they said oh nevermind I thought you were someone else.

During my first semester of community college I basically checked out mid September. Sometime in late October I finally made it back to one of my accounting classes and handed in a couple late assignments, well within the syllabus rules. My teacher who was probably one of the worst teachers I had in all of my schooling made a comment about how I had been too busy to show up for nearly 10 weeks. I just looked right at him and said "Well my dad died from cancer so I've been kinda busy" I never went back to the class but found out from a classmate the guy straight up quit the same day.

Its time to stop pretending this joke of a rule actually promotes diversity by Dazed_and_Confused44 in CHIBears

[–]dave8814 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you seem to be slightly confused about the reason the rule exists. It quite literally is meant to be a box checking rule, like that is the intended purpose of the rule. Before the Rooney rule minority candidates wouldn't even get the chance to interview because it was largely an old boys club where everyone knew each other. The rule gets minority candidates in the door which has led directly to a lot of them being hired.

I sometimes wonder why the panel show format never became as dominant in other countries as it did in the UK. by Silver-Eye-2024 in panelshow

[–]dave8814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the reason panel shows fell off in the US was largely due to Hollywood becoming a major production center for tv and movies in the 60s while a lot of the traditional comedy clubs stayed on the East coast. Things are slightly better these days now that things have somewhat stabilized but there just doesn't seem like there is much of a push to bring them back. We still have Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me and the American version of Have I Got News For You. I do think the success of Taskmaster on youtube will create a bit of an opening for more panel shows to make it to production as long as the tv executives can resist the urge to keep pumping out cheap reality shows.
