Party A gets 40% of the vote

Party A wins because they get the majority

Just going to point out, 40% is not a majority. In this case they have a plurality.

In many US rural areas, home internet connections have a monthly cap

And suburban, and urban. I've never lived anywhere that didn't have a cap.

I still have the T-Mobile G1 phone plan.

Man that was a great phone.

My plan isn't quite that old, but it's getting up there. They recently increased my price by a few dollars per line. Then they tried to get me to move to a current plan, which turned out to be 20% higher price for less return. I had to try not to burst out laughing at the poor guy's face.

I've been with TMo for more than 20 years--they're the only carrier I've ever used--but if my price goes up again I'm jumping ship.

OK but did it really flop or where they expecting it to sell a morbillion units weekly?

From another article:

Sources say that Ubisoft was expecting The Lost Crown to sell similarly to the biggest Metroidvania’s in the market, with millions of units sold in a relatively short space of time. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has sold approximately one million units at the time of writing.

We can't even take care of that, how could we care for an Yggdrasil?

"Mom I want an Yggdrasil"

"We have Yggdrasil at home"

It’s wild how conservatives have been led to believe that people shouldn’t make a livable wage doing whatever job needs to be done.

Not just conservatives. My stepdad is far from being one, but he lives in a fantasy reality where "no one in the 80s made a living or supported a family working fast food or running a register." (I paraphrased a tiny bit, but this is a near-direct quote from him.)

Step 0: Invent the universe

Chewbacca is Bigfoot

There was an out-of-continuity comic where Han Solo crashed the Falcon on Earth; Chewbacca survives and becomes the basis for the Bigfoot legend.

Sounds like they’re trying to put out a titanium fire using only a bucket of water.

I have a new phrase to use in the future.

I still don't know if a USB micro or mini is the one that charges my PS4 controller

It's Micro-B, to be specific.

They're from Idaho.

Bonus points: the guy is from Illinois.
