Have you seen any pictures of him lately? I saw some last summer and he looked like shit. Put on 40 lbs and his face was flushed red. Looked like a young Alex Jones in the making.

I've worked a lot of jobs. I much preferred moving furniture and pulling carpet to my work as a barista. It's still a physical job where you are on your feet all day but with the added stress of dealing with entitled customers.

Now that I've moved on dealing with other humans is still the worst part of my job. Leave me alone and let me fix shit and I'm happy.

Ahh got it. I don't use it as regularly as I did 10-20 years ago but I'd still miss it being around.

what happened to pitchfork?

I think the RIAA has a different view on that. Huge push backs against recordable cassettes and VHS tapes when they were introduced.

IDK about that. Everyone I know who uses Linux is pretty vanilla. Or maybe my perspective has just shifted...

Some people live in areas with poor service even with beefy antennas.

Not with enough server space.

I went to Roosevelt but had lots of friends from Bowie. My one friend lived right across the street from tasker.

What if I keep a jade egg in my ass just for fun?

Users are calling it a shockingly good invention.

I remember having to still walk out to those even though the DC sniper shot a kid at a school a few miles away.

Yup I tried to go to work this morning but couldn't make it out of the driveway without the car sliding. Pulled back in as far forwards as possible but an hour later the car has slid back down. It was blocking the sidewalk but I don't think anyone is walking around in this mess. I was able to get it back in the driveway when stuff started to warm up a little.

My first computer was some random 286 with CGA graphics. It was 1994-1995 and I was a little younger than you maybe 7 or 8 and I didn't find it in the trash but my dad did. It had DOS and some GUI you could launch on top of it. I cannot for the life of me remember what it was but doing research I think it was Norton desktop. I knew enough to poke around the directories and found a gaming one that was stuffed to the gills. Most of the games didn't impress me as I'd seen graphics with more than four colors by this point but I got absolutely sucked into Elite and Gauntlet was pretty fun too.

There was a big push at the time for us to type everything up in school because computers were the future. We had a much nicer family computer with windows 3.11 and a 386 or 486 that I mainly used but would get kicked off when my parents were on call for work and had to remote in to fix something. I used my pc to type up my papers and transferred them over to the family pc for printing via floppy.

A few years later my dad and I pretty much rebuilt the trash pc with hand me downs from the family pc plus a few upgrade parts and got it running windows 95. I remember playing a ton of games on it in that form. Heroes of might and magic 3, warcraft, starcraft, diablo, baulder's gate, wing commander etc. The best was some weekends we'd roll an ethernet cable down the hallway and hook up the two pcs and my dad and I would play games together.

I used it in its windows 95 form all through high school in 2005. It never had internet as my mom wouldn't let me keep the lan cable permanently installed in the hallway but I played a ton of games and wrote every paper on it. Not sure what happened to it but it was by far my most heavily used PC and I was so happy to have it as no one I knew had their own PC just family PCs.

Great times.

Prices are always lower in the winter. It'll be back to $4.00 in the summer.

Sounds like someone didn't learn to socialize or use Linux.

I am a millennial and all the alt rock radio stations by me played this song in the 90s/ 2000s.

Neither were the specs listed... What they specc'd would be about 1000 USD.

I think that's the scroll wheel or maybe the bearings.

They do use an optical sensor... PMW 3360.
