Party A gets 40% of the vote

Party A wins because they get the majority

Just going to point out, 40% is not a majority. In this case they have a plurality.

Dick Turpin?

RIP that brave car.

In many US rural areas, home internet connections have a monthly cap

And suburban, and urban. I've never lived anywhere that didn't have a cap.

I still have the T-Mobile G1 phone plan.

Man that was a great phone.

My plan isn't quite that old, but it's getting up there. They recently increased my price by a few dollars per line. Then they tried to get me to move to a current plan, which turned out to be 20% higher price for less return. I had to try not to burst out laughing at the poor guy's face.

I've been with TMo for more than 20 years--they're the only carrier I've ever used--but if my price goes up again I'm jumping ship.

OK but did it really flop or where they expecting it to sell a morbillion units weekly?

From another article:

Sources say that Ubisoft was expecting The Lost Crown to sell similarly to the biggest Metroidvania’s in the market, with millions of units sold in a relatively short space of time. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has sold approximately one million units at the time of writing.

We can't even take care of that, how could we care for an Yggdrasil?

It’s wild how conservatives have been led to believe that people shouldn’t make a livable wage doing whatever job needs to be done.

Not just conservatives. My stepdad is far from being one, but he lives in a fantasy reality where "no one in the 80s made a living or supported a family working fast food or running a register." (I paraphrased a tiny bit, but this is a near-direct quote from him.)

Marvin the Martian as Sauron.

"Earth shattering kaboom" feels rather apt here.
