TIL Private Pyle is the Law and Order dude!

Now I wanna reticulate some splines.

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.

Yup, this is just a coordinated smear campaign from Big Integer.

Dibs on the band name Puerto Rico & The October Surprises.

I've always been sort of vaguely curious what car company CEOs drive, if/when they aren't just being chauffeured around in the company limo. Like, what's in their garage, and if left to their own devices, what would they drive around in to run get groceries or go out to eat or whatever.

Moreso the "regular" car brands than the luxury ones. Like I assume the head of Porsche drives a high end Cayenne or 911 (or both), so that's less interesting.

But, like, does the CEO of Chevrolet drive a Chevrolet? Does he have a maxed out Suburban? Or does he step up to the Escalade, even if it's from a different division? Or does he eschew GM entirely and go for the Rolls/Bentley, or a pasta rocket?

In this case, it looks like Ford's CEO is driving the direct competition, which is interesting. Makes sense, I suppose, though it's not at all the answer I expected.

Nope, not really, it's another meme I've seen that this reminded me of. Same kind of premise, look at all these dates that overlap kind of thing. Fax machine invented, samurai still a thing, Lincoln still a thing, therefore samurai sent fax to Lincoln.

Since this one brought up the samurai too, I just thought it would be funny to merge them together and have the samurai in this party be that same one that supposedly sent the fax.

Hurry onward, pencil, or you'll soon be dead!

Was that the samurai that sent a fax to Abraham Lincoln?

And it's not all either. He's only going to ~~kill~~ maim the Democrats. And black people. And brown people. And LGBT people. And women. And non-Christians. So, you know, as long as you're not in one of those groups, you'll be totally fine. For now. But maybe don't get too comfortable.

Yup, same. Upgraded from P6 to P7 for $20 a couple Black Fridays ago. The P7 is starting to get a little wonky, so I'm waiting to see what the sales look like this year, it'll almost certainly be either a Pixel 9 or Nothing Phone (2).

No idea. Yamaha was doing pianos long before they were doing motorcycles, so it can't be them. I can't think of a company that started with motorcycles and then moved into pianos.

I built a Ploopy mouse yesterday. All the buttons work, and for the most part it's fine. But the movement is on and off laggy. Sometimes it works great, even faster than what I had before, and then it just stalls or stutters and slows down for a several seconds. I've tried a couple different USB cables, I've taken it apart and tried to reseat everything, I took the optic piece off and tried to blow out any dust that may have been in there. But it's still on and off laggy. Happens in windows and Linux both.

This is only the second thing I've ever soldered, and I'm sure I did a pretty trash job of it. The board is mostly done but you have to solder the optical chip in at build time. Could that cause it to be laggy like that? I don't see any pins accidentally soldered together, there's separation between each soldered lead, though I definitely can't do the nice pretty little dots, they're ugly as hell.

They've provided instructions to build/update the firmware, could that help maybe?

Just wondering if there's any other ideas to help fix this? If I knew it was a legit bad board or something I could maybe go back to the seller and see about getting a replacement, but I'm afraid my soldering could be at fault in which case I don't want to make that his problem. So I'm hoping someone here may have an idea. I love the idea of this diy 3d printed mouse, just hoping it wasn't a $100 mistake.

Thanks in advance.

Really was trying for more Bea than Arthur, got more Arthur than Bea. This is the closest the bingolator would give without violating some rule or another. It's a shitpost, whaddya want?

Seriously. The only time I listen to FM radio is when I take my wife's car to get an oil change. So maybe a total of twenty minutes driving time once every six months or so. Every single time, this song comes on. I don't get it. It was a one hit wonder from like 25 years ago. How is it still getting that much airplay?!
