In Australia, Telstra is required to keep the payphone network up and running. You can make free outgoing calls to landlines and mobile phones. And I just read that you can call inbound as well (which I did not know). Now the fun begins.

Telstra are one step ahead of you and encouraging an ingress style territory control game with the payphones.

Clue to their DB setup?

Ever wonder much the meeting is costing? The clock is ticking. Head hours around the room. Wonder no more.

Introducing Meet Calc.

"Can everyone see my screen?", "You're on mute.", "Sorry, I was on mute.", "Let's circle back on that.", "I'll send a follow-up email.", "We're running over.", "Quick question...", "Let's take this offline.", "Can you repeat that?", "Sorry, you cut out.", "I have a hard stop at...", "Let's park that for now.", "Who's taking notes?", "Can we get five minutes back?", "I think we lost Esk.", "Before we wrap up...", "Action items?"

Select the number of participants, drop in the individual hourly rates, and hit Start meeting. Then start sweating.

You're welcome.

They are not saying that the post does not belong on the site, just that it shouldn't be a "show HN". It has a similar vibe to a lot of static content that is linked here.

And SHTML for Server Side Includes.

Yes! And occasionally, I still miss them.

I remember the good old days of the transparent 1×1 pixel gif to keep table cells in check.

"Good old days"? You are currently on a page using this ;)

I used to slice large images in a grid pattern, held by a table. Don't even remember why... For faster loading?

I have no clue why, but there are only so many cars and stairs I can identify before giving up.

Pretty good chance it is this DNS issue, or related to it.

That's useful. I'll check into that.

Only a robot could have this much patience...!

“By default, WASTE listens to incoming connections on port 1337. This was probably chosen because of 1337's leet connotations.”

I use 24h clocks and every time it's 13:37, I think "leet". I hate it. It's been decades and it still won't leave my brain.

I'm with you here, I say "its leet time" in my head. Pretty sure no one says leet anymore

My discord handle used to be keeb#1337 as an homage to this era..it was a big part of my life.

Now it's just keeb

I never figured out how people got custom numbers. Was it a Nitro feature?

Yes.

More options to irritate the mind:

3:14 Pie time

4:20 Blaze it

11:11 Pocky time

3:13 on digital clocks without leading zero is the king of time.

My grandfather would say "car wreck" when it was 10:10. (Tin-tin)

7:10 (oil) as well although less common but actually leet unlike 420

I have the same affliction and I’ve had it for over 20 years now. It’s never gonna go away.

Might as well switch to measuring in imperial units. Savage.

Swatch internet time.

Those were the days. For reference:

Never.
