I remember Green Steam on dialup. The steam loading bar frolicking across the screen, left AND sometimes right. No "offline" mode. And, of course, being the only way to play Half Life 2.

They won't.

A government building I visit regularly has a help wanted that claims the government is a leader in innovative solutions like telework meanwhile, the workers in that building have to work weekends in the office too!

And, of course, telework is actually is strictly forbidden at my location.

I have a Logitech G100 combo of a mouse and keyboard. Rubber domes, came with a grub cover. It's been over a decade and it's my go-to "need to work on a computer" set.

Actually, the mouse out of that one is still in active use right now.

Alright Randy Newman, take out your insecurities on them.

I believe you mean 2 adults, working 8 hours with an unpaid lunch meaning 9 hours out plus commute.

Or, do, if the label fits. No sense denying a man his pride.

You can't go confusing the Rainbow Badge for the NDSM and pretend like they're the same thing. Kids these days don't even get one straight out of basic anymore!

No no no, we can always blame Kamala's laugh.

If we say that the accepted pronunciation of "X" is "ex" then we run into an even bigger problem than Prince's logo.

"Ex" User says... Is this a former user of the website or current?

A user on the website "ex" is too long winded and sounds like I'm saying a hypothetical.

Users on "ex" - although shorter, X is a street name for ecstacy and user is sometimes used as shorthand for drug user (e.g. User and abuser) so why should we be listening to a cracked out party kid?

The golden ticket is "formerly Twitter" because we actually know what the fuck that one is.

I'm willing to bet there's at least one X user on X right now.

How long was Prince "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince"?

Yeah, the rest of his life.

Twitter probably will have the same laid upon it.

Compared to most Dilbert strips, it was actually in the top ten.

Everyone has already told you it's not a precedent but I should also note the eminent domain literally only requires the US to pay a fair market price, not for them to not take it.

Shit, I've taken cognitive tests after all of my concussions.

I mean, I believe in you. You technically CAN do something about that. It will probably break in the process though.

Look at it this way, BMI is a cross section of weight and height. I was considered "overweight" for ages because I just had tree trunk thighs from hiking and weightlifting. Like, less than 16% body fat but told I'm 'overweight' every time I got weighed.

The ruler was fucking wrong.

Nowadays, I'm much more of a fat fuck so the ruler is right now but only just so... I'm still under 25% when using hydrostatic!

Would you claim the second an athlete leaves the field they're no longer an athlete?

"Sports" cars are tuned towards their racing counterparts. Auto racing is a sport. We don't know if that owner does autocross, probably not, but that is classified as a Sports Car regardless of anything else.

Yeah, I don't correct my black coworkers but I've certainly not said that I have the itis in a long, long time.

Be nice if there was an easy way to just do this with any car. Like, I'm willing to get you could get a rough model with FreeCAD and some references but it'd be really cool to have a drive through laser scan or something.
