Yes, everything about it was extra heavy.

Have you blocked me yet? If not, it might save time to do it now…

I always noticed that too…

I’ll do you one better - why is Aleppo?

That’s the problem though, with old systems like that, the CPU was like 1/10th of the equation, the hardware was far more important. Porting something often involved a full rewrite.

My dad had a DEC something or other that was basically a cube with most of its space being two 8" floppy drives… No clue if it ran cp/m…

My local science museum had a laptop from the '90s on display, with the caption “computing in the 1900s”. My kids asked if that was what I had in school when I was their age, and I had to break the news to them that I was already done with school when those were current…

There are electric cars that are not Teslas…

It’s both, depending on perspective. You emigrate from America to Zimbabwe according to other Americans. To Zimbabweans, you have immigrated to Zimbabwe from America.

This is America, you might as well ask men to cut their balls off …

The timing is unfortunate… I’d like to buy a used EV, and I’ve seen a few I like on carvana with very low miles for cheap… but I’ve been living in an apartment and would have no place to change it… Now I’m buying a house with (among many other things) a 240v outlet in the garage specifically for changing an EV… But it’s going to be a couple weeks, and those used EVs are dwindling…

Seriously? I get yelled at at least once every time I ride. People have thrown drinks at me, spit at me numerous times (though their aim is generally very poor)

I’ve even been run off the road a few times, intentionally (they admitted it after I caught up with them at the next light and confronted them)

a man won’t know a woman doesn’t shave her legs unless he’s intimate with her

What’s the opposite of observant? Because whatever that is, you are.

But not a lot on sunglasses.

I’m sorry, I shouldn’t laugh, but I can’t help but picture her kneeling, saying “please lord, let it be today…”

Yes younglings, I remember a time when the internet didn’t exist!

Depends on what date you pick to assign to the birth of the internet… RFC 675? Then I am younger, but not by much.

If we listen to Google’s AI, “the internet officially began on January 1, 1983, when ARPANET officially adopted the TCP/IP standard” than I am significantly older than the internet.
