I've found that that "crunchy" screen printing does look a lot nicer when new, but wears out much faster. After several washes, it starts to crack and flake off.

I can hear Uncle Sam turning over in his grave from here.

The actual "Uncle" Sam Wilson is buried just up the road.

Romeo and Juliet, with our English teacher shutting it off at one point in the middle and fast forwarding for… reasons.

Also, The Price is Right every time I had a particular sub at lunchtime.

Proud to have you represent our state, Congresswoman. Please keep fighting the good fight.

Yeah, the "kind of back" concerns me. Besides, at this point I'm so ingrained in Apple's vertical integration ecosystem, I kind of don't want to switch off it now. Yeah, I could have a cheaper watch, but the way it works with all of my other Apple stuff is just so seamless.

I was an Android user for years, and had several generations of Android watches. I got so fed up with just how bad they were and the lack of improvements in them, as compared to just how well my wife's Apple Watch went, I ended up switching to iPhone. I'm still mad at Fitbit for killing Pebble.

Well now you can just claim that Taco Bell conflicts with your religious beliefs, so your kids don't have learn about it in school.

I’ve been using these same outlets since before I saw your first video on them and they’re great. I think I have a dozen of them deployed in my house now.

At my yearly physical this morning, my physician said she ordered a test of my measles immunity with my labs. She said if it comes back negative, I should get a booster in light of the outbreaks. She said it’s not something she’s ever had to recommend to patients before.

I now shoot (stills) on a Nikon Zfc. State of the art, high end consumer digital camera, but it _looks_ like it’s from the 1970s. Literally every event I’ve brought it to since I got it around 8 months ago, I’ve had someone ask me if I’m shooting film.

I was at my vet's office a couple weeks ago, chatting with the doctor, and right in the middle of a sentence my subconscious realized that their background music was playing a string quartet version of Radiohead's Creep, and my brain just froze up and was like... wait what?

The number should have been one, but since we've already passed that mark, it's clear that there is no limit.
