Their episode about Y2K hooked me.

It made everything clear back when everything was hand written or done on a type writer. This mattered as paper wasn't infinite.

Much of modern communication is done in bubbles on screens, so the punctuation doesnt matter as much as it used to.

That said, run-on sentences and word salad are quite common which makes for some entertaining yet stroke inducing screenshots.

The so-called "rules" of language arent actually rules. They are observations. Language use has greatly evolved over time, and schools teach the rules as they know them, forgetting that even a hundred years ago, it was different.

I got Mobaxterm. Does the job and doesn't need to be natt'd.

He should check out some skyscrapers while he's there. Make sure the windows are installed properly.

Had this conversation with my boss yesterday. They cant use Azure mdm with Linux it's a no go.

Winter tires, people!

I'm in Alberta. The not-all-of-us thing is real.

You know you doin' something right when you got Samuel L Jackson as your hype man.

Not everyone thinks "society" is a goal.

You are assuming you will still have a job, or that US dollars will still have value.

Living longer is not the flex I care about. Focus on quality of life and better health.

Sort of. As I understand it, theres a pretty specific weight/grade/thickness of oil that can be refined into products. Most of the US oil is too thin. Most Canada oil is too thick. So we mix the two and viola!

It'd be nice if someone in Canada would build a refinery here. But then we'd have to import thin oil to mix with.

People who pleaded guilty need to plead the fifth.

Pay how much and how often?

$20 a month? $50 a month.

And even if you are dumb enough to respond to one of those emails, the liability is limited to something $50 per title. So it's not worth the money to pay a lawyer to go after anyone. They will however try to trick you into a private settlement.

True. Everytime I get a new phone I go through around 6 different cases trying to find one that's somewhat comfortable to hold.

Opalstack. Simple to configure. Great support.

Stuck with my annual tradition of watching thrle first Iron Man movie loudly to distract the dogs from the fireworks.

Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future.

Pepsi: The choice of a new generation.

Mcdonalds has Pizza now?

Imagine if it all suddenly stopped and we all got still-sickness.
