Teaching a gorilla that it's going to die was literally a skit from The Onion. Unless our simulation glitched out again, I think Ryan is talking about that clip.

[snaffu]

Limewire...now that’s a name I’ve not heard in some time.

[RAnderwill]

“Because of mental illness “. I lost my mind and my mascara over that. Thank you. I haven’t choked on laugh in a while. I’m no longer depressed. Thank you

[aengle.]

God damn it Krista, YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE POPS!!

[radsbar]

1955, 60 to 80 days severance checks. Man I'm glad I have been with my company for 20+ years, they have to pay me 9 months salary if they lay me off ;)

US primarily produces light crude oil, our refineries are mainly used to process heavy crude. Most of the oil we produce is sold on the global market, which is than used to purchase heavy crude for the refiners to process.

Its kinda stupid but since Obama passed a law allowing US production to be sold on the global market our prices are tied to the world price fro crude oil. It would probably help to modernize our refineries to accept light crude, and end the bill on oil exports (like it was for most of US history).

That's why the Keystone pipeline was such a huge deal, it was going to be a lot of heavy crude which we primarily use. It offers higher yields of gas, and diesel per barrel. Modern refineries prefer light crude, but out industry/equipment is out dated and with stiffening regulations over the last few decades it wasn't deemed profitable to upgrade the equipment.

Our refineries can refine light crude, just horrible yields so its kinda a net loss, plus light crude is very much in demand globally, just more profitable to sell it on the global market.

The fact that Wendell remembered the 3d HTC fone is awesome! Good times! Good times 😌

[heimvar]

I member when htc was a good company I had a HTC one M8 and man it was so cool I still have it and use it as my iPod to this day edit update: I just looked it up and it's 8 years old ouch

[clawwer]

I don't know what Ryan said is "The onion news" . Or that they actually got that from real life :=) about the scientist teaching gorillas gonna die someime is a onion news ep, at 32:31

1:40. Dont forget, the Mac Pro was 50K because it has $28K worth of RAM(1.5TB) But the Mac Mini Chonk has a maximum of 128GB(less than 10%) shared between the CPU and GPU. Hadnt the standard desktop already moved to 256GB with DDR5, i mean short of Intel's artificial locks?

[denverag]

8:30 I totally agree, that ~2012 HTC Evo 3D was a surprizingly good experience for only a 540p display that got cut in half when viewing 3D content witrhout glasses. Imagine a 4K OLED 3D display that didnt need glasses. The picket fence affect would be mostly gone at that point

Clarification
Zelle is not a Buy Now Pay Later
Zelle is a Money Transfer Service

[denverag]

3:46 Nothing is stopping the new display from working with PC, because there is literally an Apple A13 on the display so the processing doesnt impact the performance of the Mac, sure it will make little difference on the Mac Studio, but it will make a big difference for something like a base model Macbook Air from 2018

If someone remade the og Motorola droid with decent support I'd go back to one in a heartbeat. Hate touch keyboards and I used to run zsnes on that sucker like a dream.

[thegreatrestart]

If you work hard everyday you can succeed in the metaverse one day

[orionx]

They should call the iPhone SE the iPoor

[xanderlander]

Oh man, I remember the days when HTC made decent phones, like the M9. I had one of the Evo 3D phones. The 3d was a bit if a gimmick, but the phone was brick with a massive battery.

[NatesRandomVideo]

Careful on that new iPhone SE. it’s 2x2 MIMO vs 4X4 on the rest of the lineup and also doesn’t have Verizon mmWave “5G”. It also won’t support the AT&T 3 GHz “5G” band. Essentially it’s the “half speed 5G world phone”.

Zelle is not a BNPL app. It is a personal payment system like Venmo or Cashapp. But is a direct Banking system.
