Ak-shoo-ah-lee, there are some old industrial control systems that worked in octal (base 8).

It is the worst bastardization of mathematical knowledge ever committed by mankind, and I hate it with the burning passion of a thousand suns.

Also, the Commodore 1541 floppy drive had a serial transfer rate of 2 bytes per second. Nothing loaded quickly in the 80's either.

They did warn you that it was your PERMANENT record...

My son says, "A futon is a very honest piece of furniture. It has F U right in the name."

Ha! "What the heck is Pathfinder?!"
-- everyone I know

I play online games with a friend who has a 5g tower across the road.

His neighbor occasionally gets drunk and shoots it to "death".

US, obviously. South Carolina.

OMG. I want a T-shirt that says "I survived the Satanic Panic"

Ugh, jealous. That's only happened twice for me. To be fair, I'm of an age that I started with BECMI, followed by AD&D. Took a break and picked back up for 5e

Maybe it's the age group...

Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. Usually gets an, "oh" and a sideways look

The universal definition of "fair" is "everything is bent very slightly in my favor".

I did for about a year to get to my goal weight. I quit a few years ago and gained back, so will be starting again.

Ruled.me and ketoconnect were my go to.

Do you know of a sub-lemmy for keto cooking / eating?

I saw a BBC article that says that tickling produces a panic response in the brain, and laughter is a sign of submission to the aggressor.

I hate everything about tickling.

Automating the tests, or testing automation software? Your description sounds like the latter.

I primarily write automation software, so would be interested in what you use for testing.

The line: "Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose" has stuck in my head for over 30 years.

I can't put my finger on what it is, but it feels like a profound outlook and I almost look forward to that freedom.

I tried but either age or removing the battery caused it to desynchronize. I got it right before Wrath of the Lich King, so it had a good run.

A lot of local game stores host games now as well. Go in and if you see a bunch of tables, ask one of the staff. They love talking about that stuff.

Can you elaborate on this? I always thought the limits on batteries was the energy density of the chemistry rather than heat/conductivity of the components. What am I missing?

Agreed. My un-scientific observation has been that the more stretch goals a game hits, the less likely it will ever release.
