Hey, hey, hey...

Repetitive after hearing it the first 20 times, much less 400 times.

Final Fantasy fight music, if I never hear it again, I'm good.

When I was in school, I had a teacher who insisted on pronouncing the word "across" as "acrosst".

That's insulting to other people named Infantino. :)

Super Meat Boy?

Not linking to reddit, but this DisqueTV?

Media server software that lets me program my own television station.

5:00 PM - Play the next file from folder X.
6:00 PM - Play the next file from folder Y.
7:00 PM - Play the next file from folder Z.
8:00 PM - Play random movie.

It's less of a problem that people vote for bad candidates than it is too many people are OK with other people making that decision for them.

In 2024 only 64% of registered voters actually voted. 36% chose not to participate.

That was the second highest voter participation rate in history. 2020 was the first at 66%.

So at best, 1/3rd of the voting public has given up.

They can keep them.

I have a job, a wife, and a kid, so I'd expect almost immediately. Especially if my phones go dark.

The big one (30mm) they not only removed, but they tattooed the spot where they took it from for future checks.

So now I can legit say "Yes, I have a tattoo... no, I won't show it to you!" LOL.

Do they fill it full of water like they do for the kidney scan? That was super uncomfortable, but kind of cool to see on the monitor...

2 AM, you desperately run to the bathroom just in time for a heinous crap.

You finish up, go back to bed, roll over on your side and hear/feel your gut go:

"Whuuuurrroooggglllleeee."

GOD-DAMN IT!

15 polyps and 2 actual tumors. :(

1995? For me, personally, I'd say some things are better, some are worse. I was struggling to get by on $8.60 an hour back then, couldn't live on my own so I had a room-mate. I was still a year away from the tech job that would crack open my real career and bring me where I am today.

1996 - first tech job, income doubled+ overnight. Got my own first place. Commuting between Portland and Chicago every 2 weeks for a year. Feels like that was when my life really started.

2025? Still working in tech, married 14 years, 6 figure salary, bought a house 4 years ago. OTOH - 2 heart attacks, congestive heart failure, cancer scare in the past 2 weeks. Looks like they got it all, but I need to back in 6 months for a re-check.

Reading more, finally knocking down that bedside stack of books.
