If everyone should learn to read, it would not only ruin writing but thinking as well.

They are named after the hero who goes back in time to save Sarah Connor from the Terminator.

Also, you are too old to be picking on school children.

Same, but a year ago.

Also, Temu has tried to take all the shopping search results from Bing/DDG. So those results are trash now.

I didn’t like that movie.

That operation was a real ballroom blitz, I tell ya.

I’m not the person you are replying to but I do have one answer.

The Library of Congress should be tasked with maintaining a searchable index of Internet and World Wide Web sites. No ranking. Your skill at finding sites would be related to your skill with writing search queries

If you recall Altavista from the late 90s, I am thinking of something like that

One of the most valuable things my dad taught me was how to take good advice from an asshole.

So like before the year 1990, I was a young adult and I had to take a psychological exam. One of the parameters was called masculine/feminine and I scored high on it. The doctor explained it to me thus:

A high score means I don’t have typical narrow interests like most men do. I didn’t understand what he was talking about. He simplified his explanation as “most men only think about huntin and fuckin”. I was in so much disbelief that I have a broader range of interests and subtleties of opinion than other men that I asked all the fellas about when I got back to barracks. Turns out the doc was right, roughly speaking, and that was one of those big moments when I realized I was not like the others.

Thank you so much for this information.

If you still have commenting motivation, what are the top 5 differences between x86 and ARM?

Up until your post I had thought it exactly was the size of the instruction set with x86 having lots of very specific multi-step-in-a-single instruction as well as crufty instruction for backwards compatibility (like MPSADBW).

So in the OP’s original timeline there is a flexible CI pipeline tool named Adolph. Huh…

JFC, I’m old, and this new use of the word throws me for a loop because everyone writes like I’m supposed to already know what it means .

This will always be my RCS: https://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/

Back in the day there were only re-tweets and bookmarks. Then Facebook likes became popular and Twitter changed bookmarks which could be private or public into fully public likes. So annoying. Likes should have never existed on Twitter.

Elder Scrolls especially Morrowind will always have a place in my heart but I’ve moved on. If they ever release a better game I will come back. What ever is running Starfield won’t be it.

I’ve found New World and as far as MMOs go, it’s the best I’ve played in comparison to Elder Scrolls Online and Guild Wars 2 (in depth) and a few others (<40 hours).

But New World has the lore, baby. That’s what seals the deal. Superior gameplay: check. Great art design: check. The lore is the final block and New World is so interesting. I didn’t think a fantasy setting could have new and interesting lore but they succeeded.

How the Lost came into creation from

is so tragic. I’m still learning what Angry Earth is all about tho.

And it’s just fun! Like, I would have never guessed that I’d enjoy running around in a pilgrim hat getting killed by a giant turkey with laser eyes. And who would have guessed you could successfully merge the giants from Nasusicca Valley of the Wind with 1500s Caribbean aesthetic?

But if you’re thinking: “We’re talking about single player games, dumbass.” Yea, I know, I like New World so much that I wish the same dev team would make a proper single player game in the exact same setting.

I think it’s more like, imagine if all the shares of Amazon were confiscated from Bezos and his main henchmen and his original remaining backers, and then those shares were equally redistributed to Amazon employees and contractors. I don’t think the workers would disagree with that move.

How about the whole villains-have-rotten-teeth thing? When this came out in the theaters the first time, my best bud had bad teeth from growing up poor and neglected. Fucking felt terrible watching it.

One thing COVID masking made me aware of is that even after brushing, flossing, tongue scraping and mouthwash, the best my breath could smell was stale. Gawd forbid if I jumped up outta bed and immediately went to the grocery store. Now imagine the stink this guy was always breathing. No wonder he had a bad attitude.

Just think. In Article 1 of the US Constitution, the same article that creates Congress, also creates a federal post office system. Remote communication was so important that’s where it was described using the latest technology of the time.

There are so many systems today that need similar treatment. Internet. Medical. Education. Job Training.

And no, I don’t mean fed government enforced monopoly. I mean, UPS exists and competes with the USPS. But there is a minimum level of service in operation.

The founder of Amazon is buying the discontinued OS made by Jean-Louis Gassée and porting it to IBM mainframe platform. He’s going to name it BezOS.

Required reading to get this joke:

If prison food is as good as those photos make those meals look then I just figured out my retirement plan.

Bite all the way down, and it still reads “Brighton”.
