Can’t even sign into AT&T to view/report the outage. You can (conveniently enough) sign in to pay your bill if you want. AFAIK, the 70k number is the number of reports at Downdetector. It’s probably 100s of thousands affected, if not millions.

I wouldn’t buy another piece of Motorola/Lenovo garbage for any amount of money.

It’s a Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine"

What makes the RDRE so revolutionary is that it makes use of a sustained detonation circling around a ring-shaped channel, fed by a mix of fuel and oxygen which is ignited by each passing explosion.
Crucially, the RDRE uses less propellant fuel than conventional rocket engines, and is simpler in terms of its machinery and mechanisms. That means going into space becomes cheaper, and traveling further distances becomes possible.

Saved you a click.

Fringe ended weird though. I chalk it up to JJ Abrams getting bored (yet again) with his wildly successful project and letting it sputter to an end instead of letting it go out with a bang.

Wait, does Gen Z even read newspapers? Totally blew away my suspension of disbelief.

I’ve seen these trucks with “not for hire” signs on them. If you have to add signage to your personal vehicle because it has been mistaken for a tow rig or commercial hauler, you might want to rethink your choices.

I hope it enjoys its existential despair.

It’s good to keep one around.

Mine is in a safe deposit box in Budapest. You can never be too cautious.

“Now I really get it!”

“Oh, don’t listen to them, sweetie. This time will be different!”

I’m just happy for the red circle, without which I could never have completely understood this meme.

Harper, strike, and soldier, go.
Free the flame and sear the grasses
Till the dawning Red Star passes.”

I once put off a 5 minute task for so long, it was already at the 6 month replacement mark for when I should have originally done it! Efficient!

It took me a moment to get used to it, because I had the traditional upbringing with oatmeal = cinnamon, sugar, etc. But it’s not that different from mashed potatoes, polenta, or rice. I already had the pilaf recipe that was a favorite “go with anything” side dish, so I tried that first and stuck with it.

I second oatmeal but I go with savory. 50g of oats, 250ml of broth/liquid.

Variation 1 is a spice mix that mimics a favorite rice pilaf recipe (maybe 1/2 tsp of Old Bay seasoning, some salt and pepper, a sprinkle of turmeric and coriander). Then add in protein, veg, cheese, whatever. That’s my go-to most of the time.

Variation 2 is “pizza” style: a scoop of premade marinara, some broth to fill out the rest of the liquid, and a sprinkle of shredded mozz. Throw in some protein/veg that works (think pizza).

Variation 3 is “Mexican style,” which I mostly do if I have some leftover carnitas or taco meat: change the spices to chili powder and cumin, cheese, of course.

Quick oats cook up in 2-2.5 minutes in the microwave. Total prep time is maybe 10-15 minutes.
