A couple of those old gray beards are still kicking and go to cons still.
What? No.
Obviously Vaporeon. I mean look at it, it’s just asking for it.
Missing Sonic the Hedgehog and Secret of NIMH.
Plant: I’m going to evolve a noxious chemical that feels like pure fire on a mammal’s taste buds to protect my seeds from them.
Humans:
“Honey, we need to tall about our child and his computer activities lately.”
“Oh shit, he found internet porn, didn’t he?”
“No, worse, he’s an Arch Linux user.”
More like “Huh. Cool.” because I’d prefer to be corrected if I’m full of shit.
Code violation too…what restaurant in the 21st century doesn’t use grounded outlets? I don’t even think it’s polarized. And it’s only like two inches off the ground.
But then again we are dealing with Mr. Krabs here.
No, the most convenient way is ripping them and turning them into media files that I can copy to anything I want.
Archiving them like this also helps fight against bit rot. They aren’t getting any younger (and by the CD/DVD’s last days, they weren’t exactly made out of the most high quality materials). I’m already experiencing this with floppies and retro computer stuff.
At least we dodged asbestos insulation, and only have to deal with it in old construction when we tear down the walls.
Leaded gasoline wasn’t fully phased out in the US until 1996, not sure about other countries. The millennial age bracket starts somewhere around the birth year 1982.
Fun fact: it’s still used in piston aircraft.
Edit: sorry, that’s not very fun.
Hey, if Germany can call America a bunch of corndog-eating cowboys, then we can call Germans tiroler hut-wearing yodelers.
And now you’re doing it about Linux users. You already made an entire thread about it this morning.
This is like if you were just at the club minding your business just trying to hook up with somebody, and then a massive scary being plucks you up and starts torturing you for it, while you sit there confused as to what you even did wrong.
It’s like torturing dogs for having the audacity to bark.
Plus, in the age of fighting for the right to repair our devices, the Steam Deck is a breath of fresh air. They could have locked it down with a proprietary OS like the Switch and pretty much every other console, but didn’t.
Because on a system with 64 GB RAM I care about saving a couple hundred megs…
Bavaria is probably the most “German” german region. That’s where all the lederhosen stereotypes come from.
Basically it’s the Texas of Germany. Old school, religious, and conservative.
Edit: in the very rural parts, they even have their own dialect that to some Germans is almost completely unintelligible. I realized this when I took German language classes in high school in the USA and what they were having me learn was very much NOT the way my Bavarian mother spoke to me. It felt kind of irritating when they told me I was pronouncing things wrong and my grammar was wrong when I fuckin’ lived there as a child and spoke it fluently.
When the tabs start to pile up so much they lose their labels.
