Queue the return of the door to door Encyclopedia salesman. Soon everyone will have a World Book Encyclopedia set in their home again!

“And here’s where I keep assorted lengths of wire.”

“To shreds you say? How’s his wife holding up? To shreds you say?”

“I can, but that’s because I’m not a penniless hippie!”

Personally, I won’t be happy until there are unskippable video ads before two pages of sponsored results with an AI summary somewhere in the middle of the third page of search results.

Of course there should be popups when advancing between search results pages.

If it’s on Chinese social media and it’s not being removed by the CCP, it’s supported by the CCP.

“I’m Xinnie the Poo, and I endorse this message!”

Did you mean sinophobists? You’d still be an idiot but at least you’d be a technically correct idiot.

I feel like I’ve read this one before.

You forgot the parts about slave labor, unfair market practices and piss poor quality products.

Wouldn’t work in the United States as there is no central heating system.

🤣 Yeah, good luck with that.

That’s exactly what they should do. Take this energy to DC and storm the Capital.

You’d be surprised. I think the prices will drop dramatically after the first hundred.

This is the part that is downright criminal in my book. I bought a Canon inkjet printer with tanks rather than cartridges; there are some serious disadvantages to think about, but I’ll dump w/e ink I want in that tank until the day it dies thank you very much.

So what happens when we can’t trust everything we read on the Internet anymore?

Good ole’ government policy!

It’s my ass to freeze, not to pay for. I can switch between uncomfortably hot or cold; I just have to switch a lever (on top of the roof of the building) but I’m not really a heights kind of person.

The company I work for has no control over the air conditioning in one of our facilities because it’s automated and running on a computer system from the 80’s. No one knows how it works.

It did back in, I think, the early 2010’s. For some reason it popped into my head tonight and was tickled to find that appears to be alive and well, and as usual…closed for new registration.

I just looked and it’s up. The even have an announcement from 2023.
