Customer Discovers the Limit of FiOS Link

Wow, apparently Verizon FiOS does have a limit. 77TB is pretty generous. I have never heard of this happening to anyone. But I probably use more bandwidth than any FIOS customer in California so I am not super surprised about this. My monthly bandwidth usage so far this year has been: January: 35 TB February: 32 TB March: 77TB April: 28TB May: 19TB (so far). So anyway it sounds like I am just going to be going back to business and paying more again.

Zefrank Science Link

Humor is often the best tool for education. I really love Zefrank: Despite looking like a tiny sausage encased in testicle skin, the naked mole rat is a highly social animal.

The Kitty Interview Link

Paul Bracher is a smart guy (obviously). How could this setting possibly pass a team review: While I could see the search committee just fine, they saw me as a sad kitten. I know this because (i) I could see my feed in a small box on my screen, and (ii) the professors on the committee were looking at their screen and chuckling. What’s worse is that every time I talked, the kitten’s mouth would open and close.

The Road to Idiocracy Link

Fuck. Me. I can’t get over these three douchebags talking about homies and their law professors. Just stop already. By way of Maciej’s excellent tweet.

Whisky Spill Link

From Boston.com A massive spill at a Chivas plant has sent the smell of spirits flowing through a Scottish sewer and sorrow coursing through the hearts of Scotch whisky fans. That is some good news writing. Still, “Less than 18,000 liters” is still a shitload of Whisky down the drain.

Centrifuge Brain Link

It really is too bad these aren’t real, because I would love to meet the guy that has to cleanup all of the human mush afterward. Oops. Did I just spoil it?

Hobo Signs Link

Gonna be a big year next year. Getting ready by memorizing hobo signs.

Decorative Gourds Link

My wife sent me this McSweeneys link. I think it’s time we renew our vows. Carving orange pumpkins sounds like a pretty fitting way to ring in the season. You know what else does? Performing an all-gourd reenactment of an episode of Diff’rent Strokes—specifically the one when Arnold and Dudley experience a disturbing brush with sexual molestation.
