@othermusic My favorite find was a cassette by Soviet Pop from Beijing, a spinoff band from Carsick Cars. In awe of what you carried.

If someone is blaming immigrants for your pain, you can be sure they’re trying to distract you from their complicity https://twitter.com/KuraFire/status/746845645223297024

Oh, and good luck, England, with your new permanent Tory majority after Scotland leaves. Kansas is a good indication of your future.

In all fairness, Frankfurt’s actually a pretty nice place. That statue of the Euro is pretty tacky, but whatever.

Congratulations, England. You’ve just doomed yourself to irrelevance in the 21st century. Good luck with that.

Somehow, I don’t think David Cameron expected his legacy to be the dissolution of the United Kingdom. Sucks to be him.

@dylanw Given Baylor’s attitude, they might deserve worse. PSU (dear alma mater) fired Paterno quickly; Baylor is dragging feet on Briles.

@kingkool68 Did that stop the beeping? If not, you might need a new BBU. I just had mine replaced a couple of weeks ago.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat June 9, 2016 at 3:11:45 PM
@kingkool68 Replacing the battery yourself should cost about $30. Much cheaper than a Verizon service call to do that.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat June 9, 2016 at 3:10:11 PM
@kingkool68 That’s a sign that the battery needs to be replaced, then. So pulling the plug would have rebooted the ONT.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat June 9, 2016 at 3:09:14 PM
@kingkool68 And it was only my phone service that was down; TV and Internet were still up. Rebooting the ONT solved the issue.

Ralph Brandi 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 @thereisnocat June 9, 2016 at 3:08:46 PM
@kingkool68 You have to pull the plug AND unplug the battery from the BBU to reboot the ONT. Doing that fixed my phone service on Tuesday
