Glad my instance isn't either :)

Though it's pretty quiet with .world and some others being down.

It's pretty great and mostly holds up.

How dare they not screw over their customers?

Gawd. Damned if you do, damned if you don't around here.

I'm pretty sure it's that Dwazoup bot (?) and they're just spraying out posts.

Is that the plugin that blocks the increasingly unfunny clock memes in c/ProgrammerHumor?

You've got a payphone you're trying to setup? That's awesome! I've always wanted something like that, but I would have to be able to make it actually work.

Currently I got hold of an old 1950's wall-mounted rotary phone and it's hooked to a Bluetooth adapter that makes it work via my cell phone.

As a Trekkie, I'd be more mad about that ending than the series finale of ENT. And if the Xenomorph finale turned out to be a holodeck program, I would probably hate it even more lol.

Not throwing shade. As a standalone story, I'd read it. But I would be livid if it was the actual finale to TNG.

Also, Strange New Worlds kind of did that with the Gorn.

SpoilerRIP Henner :(

Only if it's the "no sugar added" BBQ sauce lol. Otherwise it's just spicy ketchup.

I think most people would refuse apple pie covered in ranch dressing, too.

I did phrase that poorly, lol, but I know people who probably would consider that a delicacy 🤮

US retail coffee prices surged 21% year-over-year in August, the largest annual increase since October 1997, according to Thursday's Consumer Price Index. The monthly 4% jump marks the steepest rise in 14 years. Trump administration tariffs on major coffee exporters -- 50% on Brazil, 20% on Vietnam, and 10% on Colombia -- are driving costs higher as 99% of US coffee consumption relies on imports.

J.M. Smucker plans its third price increase this winter for Folgers and Cafe Bustelo brands after raising prices in May and August. New Orleans chain French Truck Coffee has implemented a 4% tariff surcharge. Starbucks expects peak cost impacts in 2026 due to its advance purchasing practices. KPMG chief economist Diane Swonk predicts prices will exceed historical records as Brazilian tariff effects reach retail shelves.

I dunno what I'm gonna do when my stash runs out. About 6 months ago, coffee was on sale and I bought as much as I could store in the crisper drawers of my downstairs fridge. I've probably got about another 6 month's supply and am probably going to be aghast when I have to buy more 😔

 
 

Duck face came to mind yesterday - randomly realized I hadn't seen duckface in the wild for a long time.

Or, alternatively, what are some old fads you wish would make a comeback?

The spirit of the question is social fads. Please try to keep replies to lighthearted things. I'll delete the post if the comments turn into political commentary.
