It’s useful to not be too long for your partner, and there are positions that work around length/depth mismatches
I don’t think I had budget to buy my own computers until '99, and that’s when I first played with Linux
What about legislating that insurance companies must be non-profits
If they can’t take a profit they need to spend their premiums. If the premiums are too high they need to be generous, if razor tight they need to be fair, too low they’d be sued out of existence
Linux had always been good - put together a new computer, move the OS from the old one, put Linux on the old one…
Find Linux is so much fun, dual boot the new machine on Linux, only keep windows for games
My audio collection from then is all .ogg files
Chuck Yeager’s air combat? I played that on PC
You ran emm386.com as a TSR (terminate, stay present) to set up extended memory according to my very stretched memory
When windows was at version 3, I mostly had the computer booting to command prompt, type win to start windows
Though at some point I made a boot menu in autoexec.bat to let you choose windows, command prompt, or any of the games installed
I remember when discs got big enough that we could have windows 3.1 installed as well as a current tech game
I will not miss setting up interrupts for cards, I will not miss setting up extended memory
Though all that would have been easier were I older. I was in my 20s when Linux became available and the early experience with DOS had me happy to dive right into that
My first MS flight simulator was 4, the graphics were similar, but in VGA
My first game was probably 1944 or moon buggy
It’s also the man a man fucks while in prison.
Imagine how many copycats if Luigi’s trial ends in jury nullification
There must be hundreds of youths with 3d printed guns and bad opinions about the absolute worst companies
I have a mouse that plugs into a COM port as my 286 doesn’t have USB or PS/2. I’m not entirely sure how old it is, but I’d be surprised if it post dates 1990
Anyway, good luck making a forever mouse when the main cause for replacing mouses is their connector being out dated
That’s how the law would treat an adult. “That’s not defending your home, that’s murdering a man who isn’t a threat” is what the adult would be told. They’d want a very good lawyer, they also would have wanted to aim better so there was only their side of the story
We don’t apply the law like that against children* because children don’t have the ability to control themselves or think before acting that adults have.
Have a bit of empathy for the kid.
*Except when it’s very newsworthy
I was taught first aid in cub scouts by that age. I wouldn’t have done anything to help a threatening adult
I don’t think I would have shouted insults at him, but I wasn’t raised on games where you shoot people
Aha, I thought it was for talk but couldn’t fit it :)
I have only six circuits and both of my recent electricians checked and labelled each circuit. I must have had good luck in sparkies
Binary is still the fastest search on tape, or in a tape library
Isn’t everyone avoiding X? It’s a ghost town
