It's a common rock pun, saying granite instead of granted.

Indeed, but it's fun to think about. And it's an awful lot of hardware to consume fifteen kilowatts, even if 5 kilowatts was spent keeping it cool

And that's the other part. In defining us as woke, they define themselves as sleepwalking

They might be able to see if the data indicates the network has been though NAT (network address translation) twice, but that would look just like someone who has plugged their own wifi box into the modem

There's always NAT. You get one IP address, your router/wifi shares the network using NAT

But ISPs aren't looking for NAT, since everyone with wifi is using it

Were Firefox to go bad, we would use a non-bad fork off Firefox. It's open source.

The specific mosquito species that carries malaria isn't all that important. Other mosquitos will occupy it's niches. That's the mosquito people want to eradicate

Ovens: the YouTuber Atomic Shrimp just had his kitchen rebuilt and he noted that his new oven had the temperature control set 90° when pointed right, 180° when pointed down, 270° when pointed left - you rotated the knob the number of angular degrees you wanted in Celcius degrees. He noted that the fahrenheit version wouldn't be able to do that

Australia is very metric. Though our 25mm water fittings will fit with pre-metric inch fittings (and likewise for all of plumbing)

We have pints in beer glasses, regionally have to specify British pints due to some places having a metric pint a fair bit smaller

I'm sure the UK kept their road speeds and distances in miles because they couldn't see how you could calculate your mileage otherwise

The rhyme goes:

Here I sit

Broken hearted

Tried to shit
