A serious response to a tongue-in-cheek question, with a link that not only answers my question, but also has cool stuff like graphs on how often words are used!

Thank you! This is why I still love Slashdot.

When did "compute" become a noun?

I'll second that. You are not alone. The surface Duo phones are great for getting work done.

Wow, I can't remember the last time I saw someone admit an error, on the internet. Is that even still allowed?

The tickets to this movie about shoes cost $300. Let's get em!

Dear whoever modded this post as "informative,"

You are the reason I visit Slashdot. Thank you!

I would mod this up if I had points today. A wise old professor once told me something similar: the law can be simple or the law can be fair, but not both.

You have a user ID number over 8 million, and you just used the word "disk space" in the context of a mobile phone. I want to know the backstory that resulted in you!

I liked it. Better than The Hobbit films, not quite as good as the LOTR films.

Does he at least get credit for the Douglas Adams quote?

In defense of MeWe.com, I don't see any reference to popularity among conservatives until well into the history of the site on Wikipedia. On the site itself I don't see much more politically slanted commentary than I do on thefacebook. I use MeWe regularly, and there are some really great groups: watercolor artists, guinea pig aficionados, motorcyclists, and some really good linux/tech groups.

I was a happy AT&T customer with my Blackberry Key2, until last August when they kicked my phone off their network. Even though it had all the right compatibility to keep going, and even though it had worked just fine up to that point. They insisted there was nothing they could do.

I'll wager there are more ignorant people in California than South Dakota.

As a South Dakotan, I can assure you we do not have people "dying by the acre load." People have died, and that's bad. But please take a look at the links ObscureCoder provided. Vaccinations are at 54% for at least one dose. This month, ten people died of Covid19.

Even if you did, nobody would ever find out. You would have to get an ACTUAL PHONE CALL to trigger your ringtone.
