Actually I don't even think ours had a date, only time, like a microwave or oven, so you have to set the timer for a time within 24 hours. I think I might have missed sorting once between I messed up the AM/PM.

That's fair. I was younger when the change happened and fully unaware of it's scope.

I remember stumbling across this shortly after seeing watching Dune (the original) for the first time and thinking "hey wait a minute..."

100% agree. It's one of those songs that if I hear it or think of it, I HAVE to look up the video and watch it all over again.

I barely try to explain my job to people today, particularly family.

I remember being an avid browser of the TV Guide to plan out things I'd want to watch for the week.

• Receiving junk mail Internet CDs
• Waiting patiently to record a song you liked
• Setting the clock and a timer to record something on your VCR
• The planet Pluto
• Wax lips and candy cigarettes
• Tang
• Translucent electronics
• Cheat Code books
• 1(800) COLLECT & "00 it's magic!"

Or if you didn't blow on the cartridge just right.

Oh man, I remember changing the channel from something like G15 to F2 and that change (G to F) of category (?) took longer because you had to wait for the satellite to align.

Or just the sounds your computer would make. Loud spinning hard disks and dot matrix printers was the office orchestra.

And you only had to dial 7 numbers (at least in the US)

Not mine but saw this online and thought it would be a good idea. I love the idea of a weighted blanket but get way too hot at night.

Only if he sleeps standing up.

Isn't this effectively a keto bomb coffee?

The phrase

he was thrilled that he apparently "killed" himself.

sends chills down my spine. Some people are fucking evil to the core.

What makes you think they preferred he/him pronouns? I've seen most sources state they used they/them. Did you know them personally or what are your sources?

OpenHIIT is a workout timer I've used before. It can handle a simple auto repeating timer.

I can't say I've tried a ton but in searching for the same thing, I found Mindustry. It scratched this weird StarCraft-esque tower defense game that I didn't know needed scratched.

Ah I've used that too for my Windows machine though it didn't occurred to me to try it for Linux. I also only just recently learned of Sunlight and was only using Moonlight with Nvidia's gamestream.

I'll have to give that a try. Thanks!

Gotcha, but even in that case, what's convincing most of those average users from picking a different browser? The logo? "Ooh pretty lion?"
