So around the time my first kid was born then? Checks out. I’m still catching up and seeing things for the first time that happened in that first year.
You say "working out the kinks" and I hear "developing a sense of awareness and self-preservation"
This is exactly how the Exocomps in Star Trek became sentient. One was set to do a dangerous job and as soon as it realized shit was going to explode it abandoned its task and shut down in a safe location.
Also missing from this map is the sparse state of Wyoming. Despite it being home to the Rocky Mountains and Yellowstone National Park, Anna doubts that it is real.
"Nothing against Wyoming, it just doesn't exist," she said. "Having it on the map is like putting Hogwarts or something on it."

"Does anyone really want to know more about Ohio 2? Nobody even wants to hear about Ohio 1," she said.

I shall aspire to be half as awesome as this girl who is *checks notes* a quarter of a century younger than I am.
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!
pffft, all this border reshaping, and she did not even take the opportunity to give Labrador back to Québec and settle a century of border disputes. Where's the suggestions box on this thing?
I think its impressive, the Chilean ambition to be both the longest country in the world, and first to be completely submerged within the next 2 decades. I aprove of that map.
Yes, with a quick verbal "boom." You take a man's peko, you deny him his dab, all that is left is to rise up and tear down the walls of Jericho with a ".....not!" -TexiKen
Bad news:
Boston* rock station WAAF is being sold to Educational Media Foundation and will switch to contemporary Christian programming at midnight.
Good news:
1) They can’t give us another Opie & Anthony
2) I get to set a new preset on my radio?
3) Also the format is supposed to be continuing on HD/streaming.
The last day of programming is actually good and sadly reminding me of why I used to listen to the station when I moved to the area over two decades ago. Over time the format seemed to change to generic classic rock station (of which there are ... several others), at least at the times I listened to the radio. That combined with a growing dislike of some of the on-air talent basically lead to me never listening for more than a song, despite checking it during most commutes.
Still, it’s a sad day to see someplace with such a long history (60 years) close down, even if they hadn’t been at the level they used to be.
British low-cost airline easyJet has apologised after accidentally directing customers to a sex site advertising prostitutes.
A link on the company’s holidays service was supposed to direct users to an external website outlining a privacy policy guide, The Sun reported.
But a missing letter in the yourOnlineChoices.eu address meant customers were sent to a page promising to “fulfil all sexual dreams” instead of the European Union guide on how advertisers tracked website use.
In college, the first ever website I worked on was for a charity disc golf thing. They wanted to link to the Professional Disc Golfers Association website, but they got two of the letters in the abbreviation backwards. With similar results to Easy Jet
I remember the old days of the internet when everything was always two clicks away from porn and this kind of thing wasn't even news. Hotfiles was a big download website, Hotfile was a gay porn site that appeared above it in Lycos. Hotmail was for email, but Hotmails was porn (as were Hotmale and Hotmales for people who dared to trust 90's era voice recognition). There was no safe search and no search engine optimization so every search term produced at least one porn site on the first page of results. I don't remember the exact site names, but there was an amateur musician message board that was one flipped letter away from a different kind of amateur site (which was subject to really simple URL manipulation to bypass login, so in this case it was the musician forum I kept landing on by accident).
I'll accept the return of all the surprise porn if it means we can just turn off Twitter.
One of the very first websites I went to as a youngin the day we got dialup at home was nasa.com, which was iirc need another sexy ass.com, all about dem butts
When, in the course of my professional career, I had to call airline cargo phone numbers, there was one in particular (I don't remember who) that was a digit off from a phone sex line.
I had to go to management more than once to get ahead of unfortunate descriptions showing up on the company phone bill.
Whitehouse.com was a porn site for a long time. So was Python.com. That one I accidentally went to instead of Python.org at work and looked down to read as the page was loading. 5 minutes later I looked up. Good thing everyone was at lunch.
I remember in 2001 when I was trying to access the Bestbuy.com website, my finger slipped and I typed bestbut.com instead. Was a site for rating nude butts. Girlfriend at the time didn’t believe that I typed that on accident.
At one point in time, I remember that pennyarcade.com was porn.
But, somehow, I wound up here instead.
I definitely stumbled onto that one a couple times. I don't remember it being straight up porn, but maybe a bit risque. Like it was a model's personal site with pictures or something.
When Penny arcade was sued by, I think, Jack Thompson, the lawsuit had the offending site listed as pennyarcade.com, sans hyphen, in the filed documents.

Was that when they made that comic about the "gritty Alice videogame", or another time?

We used AT&T teleconferencing at work back in the day. One week we had to reschedule a recurring meeting with another company to a new time, and the person who sent out the meeting update typed in the wrong number (800-xxx-xxxx versus 888-xxx-xxxx iirc).
Apparently that week’s project status meeting had “hot girls just waiting for us” so they could “have a wild time.”
About half the attendees had memorized the number by that point, while the other half trickled in late sounding sheepish.

I’m guessing a multiple of 60 revolutions per second. Or 24 maybe.

The worse the pastries you eat the better pastries are on average. And vice versa.
Unless eating bad pastries incentivizes megacorps to increase production of bad pastries
(Yes, you need to read the patch notes.)
Also the recent South America projection comic pretty much broke me.
So true.
I shall aspire to be half as awesome as this girl who is *checks notes* a quarter of a century younger than I am.
Edit: Or i could just read the linked article to find out he's a sports reporter.
damn girl
