I learned from my journalism college courses that the journalists aren't the same ones that write the headlines. One example I wrote: 'One Less Car' Event Aims for Fewer Cars on Road. That and a pretty funny one about abortion were how I learned that tidbit.
I wish I could find my old zip disks and drive at my mom's house. It has my old middle-school AngelFire website files from a site I ran called DBZPlanet. Was mostly me learning Photoshop to cut DBZ characters out of their backgrounds and adding glow to them. Along with basic news about when Cartoon Network would be airing the next set of English translation episodes. My first website.
I used to run a popular mod that made an indie beta game even more popular. Guess who almost all of the final testers were before release? My whole team. We were clearly the most devoted people to the game and knew best how to break it. It was nice to get a head-start on our new mod (which we pivoted to be the equivalent of Steam Workshop or an app store before those existed). Of course, the creator became a dickwad years later and we all ended the mod and the game is dead.
I saw IDE cables referred to as PATA cables in a YouTube video earlier today. "Huh, I don't remember calling them that." Luckily right after that they clarified that's a more recent name for them. Still felt old.
Because half ate actor "head shots" and not from their real yearbooks.
I hid this post then immediately unhid it for a closer look. Digital double-take.
I got a Bluetooth tape adapter. Had to try a few because some are real ass.
Temporary monopolies are the governments reward to encourage new works of art and inventions. The trade off is that it's temporary. By extending copyrights indefinitely it actually discourages new works to be created because they're competing with more creations than ever, and nothing can be built as a derivative work. Trademarks, which Disney still owns, are protected basically indefinitely.
When I went to my first rodeo they had a long delay because the bull refused to exit the arena. I had to say to strangers, "This is literally my first rodeo, is this normal?" Got a lot of laughs. It is apparently not normal.
Use food knives for cutting food? If you find a situation where you are caught unexpectedly without another knife for apples and cheese... Break the apple and/or cheese in half (easy) and use your mouth. Nobody will be impressed if you bust out a PK for the charcuterie board. Especially when they see guys like my old roommate use it to pick their toe-jam moments before using it for food. Or carry a separate knife for food in your bag. I find it unlikely that you had an apple or hunk of cheese in your pocket instead of your bag.
Way too much shit in that wallet. Cut it down to bare essentials, put everything else in a 2nd wallet in the bag (and scan in reward card barcodes to an OS wallet or 3rd party app on your phone). Get rid of the keys that you don't use daily and put them in the bag.
Aren't all reddit comments under CC?
The main thing I've noticed is that Republicans have a much deeper bench than Dems. Too many younger Dems give up on leadership tracks because the old guard just won't step aside. Fucking sad.
Meh yeah. While I "send good vibes", I still say "Bless her heart" in a condescending way, give a "Bless you!" for a sneeze, etc. They're just cultural memes. I don't think it's a big deal.
Yeah, but it's a really weird libertarian thing where everybody feels like they're an expert in their field and also everyone else's. It's a lot more fun to have in my RSS feeds since I realized that.
Had the System UI crash this morning after updating. No problems since, however.
