Lightning saying「食べちゃうにゃん」 for that one quest is definitely some kind of pun but I haven’t been able to quite figure out why

Michiru likes basketball, basketball is played in the NBA, NBA is an anagram of BNA. Makes u think!

somehow inadvertently managed to get a universal battery charger whose display wouldn’t look at all out of place in a scene from a Trigger anime

I have constructed a Mac universal binary which is a normal program when run in 32-bit mode but which emits a warning message and then re-executes itself in 32-bit mode when run in 64-bit mode and I am now spending some time reflecting on the nature of sin

I just want to solemnly swear that I will never work for a company which creates a button labeled “see less often” on an item the user didn’t ask to see

your MobyGames profile allows you to share your contact details for no fewer than three messaging services which have been completely offline for somewhere between two and seven years 😂

any Canadians have suggestions for places to buy random hobbyist electronics stuff like panel mount jacks or packs of resistors or the like which aren’t amazon or the big few multinationals?
