@RefilweSeboko Growing up in the 80's, I knew it from computer memory/storage being measured in kilobytes. (Don't get me started on that whole kilo/kibi 1000/1024 thing.)

can I ask a dumb question… what’s the K for “thousand” stand for

@Uppiepond @TomiLahren That’s not exactly a high bar. French’s can’t hold a candle to a good ketchup like Red Gold.

Can you think of a Canadian product that’s better than an American one? Honestly curious.

@MuseumCommodore That I'm going to have to swap out a broken PLA.

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you see this badge?

@emmacruises Yes. And if possible, I would recommend one of the sailings from their flagship terminal at Port Canaveral. The about to be launched Disney Treasure would be great to see a review on.

Would you like to see me take another Disney cruise? 🚢😎 I did take one, just after the pandemic, but I don't think it was a real reflection of the experience as there were lots of precautions in place, we had to social distance from the characters for example (video on my channel)! 😂🐭 If yep, let me know what you'd like me to see/do/find out. I'd definitely bring my nieces along this time for the full experience this time. 🕰️👌

@emmacruises I've asked them for afternoon snacks, dining reservations, laundry, an extension cord, or pretty much anything else I need (want). I also let them know if we're having any celebrations (birthday/anniversary) so that they can set up something nice!

Psssst, a favour please! If you've ever been on a cruise where you've had a butler, what have you've asked them for? 👌😁 I'm trying to understand my new (temporary) world 😂⚓️

@ShortFormErnie @geerlingguy The lawsuit alleges Raglan Road failed to properly train its staff, failed to properly warn about allergens in the food, and that they failed to prepare the food without allergens as requested several times. How would any of that hit the landlord?

@ShortFormErnie @geerlingguy The primary argument is "we don't own this place, so they can't sue us". It's a common tactic for attorneys to throw every other argument possible in case the primary fails. Read the suit (instead of the engagement bait headline), you'll see it very clearly.

I guess another good reason to unsubscribe from Disney+ — if this isn't thrown out, this is pure evil: wdwnt.com/2024/08/disney…

@penguinsfan32 @TheDCLBlog @jaylen_reese7 On a ship where it’s non uncommon for standard, non-suite rooms to sell for over $500/night, I suspect many people won’t bat an eye at another $50.

@TheDCLBlog @jaylen_reese7 Only reason I think anyone could justify the $48 a day is for work related purposes. Otherwise way too much imo

@JimmyOlsen19 @pureMetatron I would be inclined to agree with you if the carriers were up front about it. But I’ve yet to see a major carrier in the US say up front to make sure your package can survive a 5 foot drop as if it’s the egg drop assignment from elementary school.

@pureMetatron I worked for a carrier you’ve heard of. This is 100% the senders fault. ALL boxes are thrown 5’, period. If your shit can’t be thrown 5’, it’s broken, EVERY TIME.

UPS HORROR STORY. This is how they literally destroyed a wonderful IBM monitor 5151 I had bought on ebay. This monitor had survived from the 1980s to this day, still working, only to be destroyed by UPS. The box had Fragile everywhere on it. They didn’t care. They smacked it so hard that the CRT literally imploded. (Dangerous by the way). The shipping was insured but of course they told me “sorry monitors are not included”. How about you tell me that when the seller was paying for the insurance? 😖 What a disgrace. What’s the alternative? Is USPS better? Should I try Fedex?

@DarrenWheeler @TheDCLBlog @DisneyCruise Kids cups are a big one.

Noted in Disney's letter to shareholders, @DisneyCruise plans to eliminate single-use plastics on cruise ships by 2025 sec.gov/ixviewer/ix.ht…

@njoyzgrl81 That level of violence really warrants a content warning.

I raise beef cattle. I endure all 4 seasons, extreme weather, cranky heifers, nasty bulls to provide the highest quality beef. Please, if you do this ⬇️ eat chicken, instead.

I wonder how much heartbreak the engineers that had to make their product bad by replacing the Start Menu with a full screen tile interface felt.

@harrymccracken GE’s Clock Radio series dates back to the late 1950s, and seemed to be in almost every home in the US in the 80s-90s.

I'm writing about the Mac's 40th anniversary and need some help with a basic question: What specific tech products still in general use have been around for MORE than 40 years? (So far, I can think of one obvious example and one less obvious one.)

@chip_bennett @expat_girl @Bedsyboo @TheDCLBlog They will only status match you once. If you lose it from not sailing in three years, you won’t get it back. (That’s what they say - I haven’t seen anyone test it.)

@expat_girl @Bedsyboo @TheDCLBlog Which others, exactly? L MSC is the only other cruise lne, that I know of, that sunsets loyalty status. And MSC status matches, so maintaining status with them is irrelevant.

@borges_bobby @TRVLtruth @TheDCLBlog This is simply what happens when a cruise line misses a port. If your total port fees charged are greater than what was paid out to the various government authorities, they refund you. It’s not intended to make up for you missing the port. You’re getting the fees you paid back.

@borges_bobby @TRVLtruth @TheDCLBlog They refunded you the port fees you were charged.

So if you bring a USB cable and insert it into a turnstile, can you get into games for free?

@jeffqchen I think this is the universe’s way of telling me not to drop $750 on a scaler.

Uh-oh, the RetroTINK 4K stock is dropping so fast in real time!👀👀👀
