I always assumed the Tandy company that sold leather and the Tandy company that sold computers were different companies.

This is especially weird to find out today, because today I also found out (through randomly seeing a mention on Twitter) that the Michelin Guide to restaurants and Michelin tire company are the same Michelin, not two different Michelins as I’d always assumed
https://guide.michelin.com/en/restaurants
it fucks me up that when i first heard of michelin star restaurants i was like “the tire company??” and then i was like no that’s dumb it has to be a different michelin and then it’s just the fucking tire company recommending places to eat

Playing Minecraft with the kid:
Wife: “What are you playing on?”
Kid: “Windows 10.”
Me: “What *world*?”
Kid: “I don’t know.”
Wife: “Does that mean you don’t know, or does that mean IDK?” (He has a realm called IDK, because he didn’t know what to call it.)
Kid: “No, IDK hasn’t been renewed.”
Wife: *sigh* “Who’s on first…?”

I find it kind of hilarious that ~2 years after Flickr got rid of unlimited free storage, they’re promoting themselves as an alternative to Google Photos as GP prepares to ditch unlimited free storage, because Flickr’s paid plan is unlimited, while Google’s paid plans “only” go up to 2 TB
