Ok, serious question. Why is it normally read/write? I’ve always treated it as being read only.

I find interesting that I remember buying a game in Brazil in 1995 (the 11th hour, sequel to The 7th Guest) and in the receipt it was written “license to use”. So, even back then we were already told that it was a permission, not ownership.

Exactly. It’s a nice smoky whiskey. I also like the Johnny Walker Double Black. For the more expensive, Ardberg Ardbeg 10 and Lagavulin 16.

Crown Royal Black is very good. The Salted Caramel is nice too.

What about our tentacle sizes? We have four that try to divide in a total of twenty, but they fail to develop. Some have even another one, but it can vary drastically in size among the population.

It bothers me that FAR is near what’s usually the zero and NEAR is, well, far.

No, but nonetheless, I’ll always be an immigrant, an outsider. I think I’m fairly safe, but if my country decides to go into the wrong side of the future war, I don’t know.

As an immigrant, this is scary.

Maaannn my Masters Dissertation was on Distributed SQL, 25 years ago.

If both seats are taken for all showings, probably they are broken and locked off.

My first job was building computers with old parts. A guy needed MS Word for work but didn’t want to buy a new computer or upgrade his 386SX (25Mhz iirc). It had like 20MB of disk and I don’t recall the RAM. So he asked me if I could try. So I did. I managed to install DOS, Windows 3.1 and MS Word. I don’t remember how long it took to boot, but I remember that it would take 6 seconds for a pressed letter to appear on the screen.

Separate in small containers and sell at the pharmacy section.

Yeah, let’s blame the victim.

Only a week? Timing is perfect! What a coincidence!

So, is r/celebnsfw closing? Because it’s exactly what it is. Guy was probably the only human in a sea of bots posting there.

I watched that movie exactly once when I was a kid, like, 40 years ago. My mother still talks about it when she sees an ewok.

I have several IKEA pieces that I bought when I arrived in Canada in 2007 and are still going strong.

Cerol is old story. You can do it at home. Ground glass and glue. That’s all you need.

Kite fight is almost a tradition in Brazil. The real masters of kite fighting are capable of even capturing the enemy’s kite, wrapping it their own kite’s tail (called rabiola).

Now, when they do this near a highway, the razor sharp line can fall into traffic and cut through the necks of people in bikes. I had a line crossed in front of me once. I was in a car and the line wrapped on my mirror. I didn’t stop there because I thought it was dangerous. When I finally did, the line was embedded into the mirror’s casing, having cut through the plastic.

Another thing that can cause death related to kites. Kids love running after the cut ones. And they’re usually looking up, not sideways when running. So, being struck by a car is easy.

Just check if the other side has an X-chock between the wheels.

I remember DirecTV in the late 90s used this model. When you wanted to watch a pay-per-view, you had access to a channel that was streaming broadcasting it for 24 or 48 hours.
