The big question is, did Chad pay his share of the restaurant bill? That sushi sounded expensive.

Only a bit /s

Well spotted! I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that.

My ancient ancestors told it about great grandpa Thag who was smuggling triceratops by riding them across the border.

I've heard minor variants of this joke for decades.

Why send them your own nudes?! Send someone else's :-D

It takes time to recalibrate your taste buds.

Cut down, reducing the sugar each day by a small amount, aiming to give up after six weeks. After a few months you'll actually dislike adding sugar to your tea and coffee.

I drink coffee and tea without sugar. I can taste it if my wife stirs her sugary tea and then mine!

I've never heard of summer sausage and immediately thought it was a euphemism which would be explained by OP, so the whole post turned out rather more innocent than expected.

TIFU by writing "I rated sausage" which sounded so dodgy!

Hopefully they replace them before that happens..and filter the water anyway.

Maybe they paid for expensive airline fares and a five star hotel and some cash expenses he pocketed?

Maintenance might be problematic. Even just plastic balls make a huge difference.

I've heard of people who've driven to a train station and parked, and come home, got off at a different station and reported the car stolen.. and then found it quite a few days later by chance.

I find that term hilarious, I heard it almost 30 years ago.

I find it hilarious that the term used for this is "Teledildonics"

But iPhones use lightning cables, with a chip, to lock them into Apple or authorised products

Once, there was no standard at all for high speed charging. These phones proved it was possible and that people would pay for it.

Apple are taking an existing well-established standard and making a proprietary version specifically so they can screw their customers by having expensive charging cables.

See the difference?

I think that's one of the proprietary systems, I don't know whether their more recent products will support standard high speed charging.

It's usually because the cable, phone or charger are not designed or made correctly

There's been substandard cables but a cable that functions to specification will work fine in every android phone that also meets the spec.

This is just Samsung Dex with a big price tag.

A simple usb-c to hdmi adaptor will allow many Android smartphones to be used with a monitor or tv. Just use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

Some usb combo hubs, about $25, have hdmi. Just plug into an android and the phone screen will appear on a monitor or tv, then plug in a usb keyboard and mouse.

Thanks, I amended my comment

EV drivers sometimes, unwisely, like to slip-stream behind large trucks to get more range.

AIUI, It offended the Babylonians that there wasn't an exact 360 day year, as they used base 12

I don't recall watching that movie, so I searched the web and found this, which suggests they were going to tone down the image

It's sad that a man of men by themselves who do more than glance at a child are automatically assumed to be paedophiles or kidnappers. Statistically, children are safer more than ever, because children are more likely to be listened to, and, paedos are more likely to be arrested and dealt with rather than moved on.

I think this can put women and children at greater risk.. for example during the height of the metoo movement, I would be careful not to travel in a lift/elevator alone with a woman I didn't know fairly well, to prevent her having any anxiety, or me being accused of anything. If I was leaving the office, I'd hang back if needed to avoid that situation. That meant the woman wouldn't have someone around who might deter a random outside stranger from attacking her, when she left the office to walk through the car park.
