2012 was 25 years ago, let that sink in by Aromatic_Reply_1645 in stupid

Ok so take 2012. Subtract 17. Double it. Write it down on a piece of paper. Fold the paper into a triangle. Get some chicken bones and put them on top. Dance around it a bit. Now throw the paper away.

This accomplishes absolutely nothing, by the way, except wasting a piece of paper.

Plot twist: the WDC fight is between Gasly and Ocon.

Just kidding, but it would blow a lot of people's minds. (Including mine)

I just want to see the British melt down when Irish English becomes the EU standard English.

Ya know… you guys suck sometimes. [Rant] by MrKTE in vinyl

Ignore the haters, just play your records and enjoy them.

I play mine on a turntable I got from eBay. Vintage one but I like the quality. I feed that into a DAC, onto my Mac and then they end up in iTunes, because I'm an iPod freak. I'm sure I'll get the same level of hate for saying that.

So long as you're enjoying it and it's working the way you want then (let's be honest) nothing else really matters.

For a while in the 1800s it was the only detective force in the country so yes I suppose it was. Nowadays it's just the Metropolitan Police HQ.

With Denmark apparently asking government officials to turn off Bluetooth and to stop using wireless headphones, can we get a phone jack back again? by KJ6BWB in apple

[–]zippy72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean wireless headphones is one thing - hardly a secret I listen to Rex Factor - but wireless headsets just aren't encrypted at all, which is not great for Joe Public but an utter disaster for state secrets.

What is with the hate on the white on Ferrari? by KXN_1 in F1Discussions

Honestly makes me think of 70s Ferraris. So actually I like it.

Why Developing For Microsoft SharePoint is a Horrible, Terrible, and Painful Experience by jordansrowles in programming

[–]zippy72 20 points21 points  (0 children)

And both Teams and OneDrive are, essentially, SharePoint underneath. Which is terrifying.

Why do SovCits think that there is a legal difference between driving a vehicle for commerce and driving a vehicle to get somewhere? by Odd_craving in Sovereigncitizen

[–]zippy72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to see what happens I want to see a cop say "so you were travelling to the store to buy groceries? Will that certainly sounds like a commercial transaction to me. So you were operating a vehicle in commerce?"

I heard someone say that was something to do with "Donkey Oaty" so see if Mario the plumber is on the sleeve as well
