That one time back in the early 1980s when recreated the Texas Fisherman magazine logo for a video my dad was editing for a boat show or something in Houston.
Hey @THErealDVORAK, I rememebr reading the @pennjillette article about the laptop starting up with a countdown timer. Hopefully nobody ever really tried that ;)
@RLMLDL Curious about this. I have a "book" PDF that was laid out in a cheap PC program almost 20 years ago. Does it figure out where a sentence ends and continues in another block on a page?
In *This Is Spinal Tap*, the amplifiers go up to 11, as Nigel Tufnel proudly claims they're "one louder" than standard amps that max at 10. Technically, this is a comedic exaggeration—volume depends on the amp's electronics, not the knob's label. Going to 11 doesn't make it louder; it's a cosmetic nod to rock excess. Real-world amps, like Marshall's JCM900, later adopted higher numbers as a tribute, but the effect is symbolic, not functional. The phrase "up to 11" now means pushing beyond limits, but it's more about perception than actual volume.
@KettlebellDan Yep. Multiple accounts. One shows me just theme park stuff that I follow. One shows me "News". Totally different echo chambers, so it is what you make of it.

@DougRDNaylor We just discovered Peacock streaming has the show in the US, but it appears to be the non special edition of S1 so far. Which version do you consider the one we should be watching?
@CenturyLink is there a way to check outage without having to log in to an account? Our office has been down since yesterday evening, but we don’t have access to the account info to check with you.
