When I’m almost certain it’s a scammer calling, I’ll answer as professionally as I can as if I’m running a business…

“Thank you for calling Ding Dong Double Dildos and Dirty Devices! How would you like to fuck yourself today?”

They usually just hang up and remove the number from the call list LMFAO! 😂🤣

I actually did this for my mom one day, scammers had been calling her left and right. She found it quite hilarious too, and by the next day, more than half the scammers quit calling 👍

Edit: Merry Christmas! This is how you fuck the scammers…

Nah, they mailed all their customers, informing everyone that once they finished upgrading their infrastructure, that they would triple every customers’ internet speed for no extra charge.

Then, as everyone waited in hope, within like 6 months they renamed to /Sparklight, and that 100Mbps > 300Mbps upgrade they promised disappeared like a fart in the wind, plus /Sparklight ended up eventually increasing customer bills anyways, without any performance increase.

Honestly I think that’s exactly why they renamed, just because they wanted to back out of that promise, but didn’t actually have the fine print to legally back out.

Cable One renamed themselves to /Sparklight, basically to get out of the Cable One promise that they were supposed to triple everyone’s internet speed for no extra charge once they upgraded all their lines and equipment.

When companies rename themselves, they’re basically legally relieved of any prior promises, obligations, or class action lawsuits made/filed under the old company name.

Companies that change their names usually do so to avoid class action lawsuits and/or to get out of obligations they previously made with their customers.

Edit: I probably should have posted that as a top level comment, but oh well, I’m leaving it here.

I dunno, exploding golf ball maybe?

Disclaimer: Nope, I’m not gonna do that, nor am I making any serious suggestions.

If the compressed files are of the same/similar format, more compression is possible as the algorithm can detect more related patterns to compress.

But if you toss in a variety of file formats, compression will tend to suffer more.

Sometimes, the easiest way is just to try and see, different formats lend themselves to better or worse compression.

The files that tend to be worst at compression are the ones that are already compressed themselves.

You can thank me later.

As a one time only event, as a first and a last, I wish I could go back and change the last words I ever spoke with my late father.

In the hospital bed, he was fussing at me because I told him that I was cleaning trash and old food from his house. I didn’t expect him to fuss, I was only doing the right thing ya know.

He passed away the next morning in hospital. I’m still sad to this day that our final conversation wasn’t more positive ☹️😭

It doesn’t bother me a bit, but it also largely depends on wallet design and pants design. Over the years I’ve figured out an ideal balance for all my pockets…

For reference, I’m now 43 years old.

Around 20 years ago, around age 23, I decided to keep my wallet in my right front pocket, 24/7, save for bathing and clothes changing. Yes I do sleep with my wallet in pocket, it never leaves my vicinity.

I keep my wallet where it can’t easily be stolen, right next to the family jewels ya know…

I didn’t even heat the yogurt, I just left it on top of my microwave for like a week while I went to work. Yeah I know, you’re supposed to heat the stuff up to like 160⁰F or something like that, but I basically just left it at ‘room’ temperature of around 90⁰F for like a week.

And yes it worked haha!

I made my own yogurt once, does that count?

No I’m not even joking, I literally made your.

The two QR codes could be totally related, like two different versions of a rickroll, or two different versions of bad apple.

You just never know exactly which one you’re gonna get…

Hint, in my experience testing that, it partly depends what angle you’re holding your device when scanning such combo QR codes.

I had a chrome Zippo XIV, one of the models you just don’t fuck with.

I loaned it out one day to light fireworks. Somehow they overheated and ruined the flint wheel…

Anyways, if I catch you swapping Zippo parts, I’m gonna melt Frosty the Snowman…

I’ll add Bic lighter to this list too.

What else does Bic make? 🤔

Did you know that you can halftone dither two different but same size QR codes on top of each other?

I wish I had a link to the article handy, but yeah I’ve tried that myself and it totally works! You basically get a 50/50 chance of one or the other code scanning. It’s literally two QR codes in one!

And no, that’s not some new special QR code format either, it’s basically taking advantage of the nature of the scanners plus the built in error correction.

Have you never seen a flying spaghetti drone before?

Me either, but it’s 2025, it’s totally doable…

• Are birds real?
• The Flying Spaghetti Monster might save us soon.
• The Cosmic Microwave Background is just a reflection of our microwave ovens…

Nice try FBI…

I’d recommend silicone glue also, but I wouldn’t use epoxy, that’ll harden completely solid and won’t long stay attached with road vibrations and all.

OP, like the person above said, check for any clips or grooves or whatever first. If you absolutely have to glue it back on, make sure all the surfaces are clean first, and make sure to tape it up in place temporarily while the glue dries. I’d give it a whole 24 hours drying time with silicone glue.
