Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Fox News Says Government Advising Good Thermostat Temperatures Is Akin to CommunismEnglish
49·29 days agoJimmy Carter asked the nation to turn down thermostats ~50 years ago, and these people are still freaking out about it.
No seriously, there’s a definition of till that means the same as “until” but is like a century older. One of the many weird quirks of English.
Tillis the correct spelling. It’s a separate word fromuntil(and is actually older).'Tilis way newer and considered informal.
Thanks for this. You just solved a mystery I’ve had for most of my life. I caught that Lambo scene once on TV without context, and I’ve wondered for like 35+ years what movie it was. It always randomly flitted into my mind when I wasn’t near a computer, and then I’d forget to look it up.
It happened when Ultra Magnus was trying to open the Matrix.
First 2 seasons were before the movie, 3 and 4 were after.

Did he go to Midvale School for the Gifted by any chance?

6·2 months agoAnyone read Arthur C. Clarke’s short story “Watch This Space” where a giant Coke logo is lit up on the moon? It was meant to be funny, not instructional. Sigh. “Torment Nexus” and all that, I suppose.

7·2 months agoTo grab your save data. The purchased games themselves disappear on June 10th. There will still be a selection of games to stream (Game Pass/Xcloud style) after that date, but you have to wonder how long that’ll last.

Videos@lemmy.world•Amazon Just ERASED Your Library. You Have 90 Days.English
46·2 months agoOn June 10th any game purchases people made through Amazon’s Luna service will be removed, with no refunds. On June 3rd they’re ending the “bring your own library” feature where you could link to certain outside accounts (GOG, etc.) and get those to stream on Luna.
There’s more about Buy button shenanigans and digital ownership, but that’s the part the headline refers to.
The last couple comics are callbacks to characters who haven’t appeared in the comic for years, peeking in to see how they’ve changed and grown. It’s nostalgia for longtime readers and won’t make sense for anyone else.
That’s only the rare CDX. Neat little device though.










Either works. Till is actually older, though.
