Have seen this one here in New Zealand too.
Was a company selling house insulation for $14.88/m², and the owner was a similarly reprehensible individual:
This is grotesque.
Also Futurama, though the "musical" episodes there tend to be only a single song.
How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back is a masterpiece though.
That is fair. I guess my statement was ambiguous but of all the things I'm least bothered by its inclusion. At this point in my life I'm not actually sure I still own anything that could plug into a 3.5mm jack though.
Also to keep the computer symmetrical you actually need a third hole to match the location of the Kensington lock slot on the other side :D
I might be in the minority here, but I'm perfectly happy with the USB-C only setup. My work laptop is a Dell, but has the same design as that top Mac with just two Thunderbolt ports on each side of the chassis.
Headphones? Bluetooth. My machine actually has a headphone jack, which I have not used once since receiving it.
RS-232? That's also Bluetooth, not as if USB-C to RJ45 serial console cables aren't widely available though.
Ethernet? Well in the rare event I need one of those it's more often going to be a Thunderbolt SFP+ adapter because most of my work is with fibre. In the rare event it is copper I'm quite often needing to use two at once, so would need at least one dongle even if the machine did have a port built in.
HDMI? Well you can buy a tiny adapter (about the size of a book of matches) that has a USB-C socket on one side and a HDMI plug on the other (about $13 on Amazon: https://i.imgur.com/iwmsa4L.jpeg). I already have to have a USB-C to USB-C cable in the bag for charging, it can do double-duty as a video cable.

The trick is to be smart about the dongles you do carry. The predominant style with a short cable terminating in a bulky body with whatever socket on it is almost always the worst style, sitting right next to your laptop getting in the way of whatever you're trying to do.
The biggest advantage though is having USB-C ports on BOTH sides of the machine, so the charger can plug in on either side. I think people have forgotten how much it sucked not being able to do that. You'd be surprised how many machines that have a 50-50 collection of USB-C and other ports put all the USB-C ports on one side so they're never in the location you need them to be.
Fully aware this isn't going to work for everyone, but people really need to stop pretending like it only has downsides because that absolutely isn't the case.
The facilities team at our office would previously build a C-shaped box out of MDF or plywood to sit a regular, fixed-height desk on top of.
To be fair they did a nice job, they were sturdy and would have recesses for the desk's legs to sit in to prevent sideways movement. But the problem then became "what about when those people wanted to sit", so tall office chairs - that didn't match the rest of the chairs in the office - had to be bought, undoubtedly at considerable expense.
The new, all-standing-desks use-it-if-you-want-or-don't-it-doesn't-matter-to-us regime seems to just avoid a lot of unnecessary shifting of furniture.
It should be a great idea, but I feel like the quantities involved are too vastly different.
I'm seeing estimates of 300kW/hectare (30MW/km² or 77MW/mile²) for heating glasshouses. With individual datacentres frequently confirming multiple gigawatts, the land area required just doesn't match up.
This is not to say it isn't worth considering, but it would be a rounding error in the datacentre's heat output before you ran out of space to build more glasshouses.
There's a secondary concern of water consumption. You might extend that to ah but what if we could use that to grow the plants too? but the evaporated cooling water out of one of these systems tends to be anything but clean. Maybe that's a more solvable problem.
I started with an assumption there might have been a when component to that question, but nope, apparently we're taking about 2025 and not 1995.
Somewhat amazingly though, brand new dot matrix printers - not just new old stock, but newly-manufactured units including modern USB and/or Ethernet interfaces - and even the big cartons of tractor-feed continuous paper are still readily available.
As dot matrix printers have not gone the way of the dodo, also neither have carbonless triplicate forms, which they are uniquely able to print on. Seems that's still a big selling point for these printers.
It's an old trope, but it is of those things that pictures truly cannot capture, too. The ship is unfathomably large.
I didn't have a camera lens wide enough to reasonably get the entire thing in frame, from any location in the building.
We took gin, a bottle of tonic water syrup, and a lemon. The tannins in the river water it was mixed with making it look like a cup of tea in no way detracted from the experience.
Your other trick is to decant the alcohol into a stainless steel drink bottle. Saw so many people pulling glass bottles of spirits out of their pack, lotta extra weight to lug about with you.

Carrot sticks and hummus are my go-to for this situation. It might not be the lowest calorie option, but still healthy without at all feeling like I'm torturing myself in the process.
Like so many things, there are degrees. Yes you can sit down with a big bowl of celery, but making yourself miserable isn't going to help you keep up the good habits.
