This makes me feel glad to be old.

I mean, you don’t bring a flamethrower to an audition and then not use it.

In the US, the FDA tried to limit how strong the individual capsules can be (325mg), but you can still buy it in 500mg strength. There are mandatory warnings on the label, but you can buy it in 500-tablet (at 325 or 500) bottles over the counter. It took almost 60 years before the FDA did anything, so a lot of people grew up thinking it was harmless.

Does he think no one has seen the pictures? A true revelation would be the who, where, and when.

Absolutely awful way to die. Too many of them assumed it was just another eruption. Complacency kills, at least sometimes.

At least the number of times I have to use the Clean Java Language Workspace in VS Code has declined recently. I mean, I still have to, just not as often.

Music to my ears.

Humans used to have a much more direct connection between what they did and their survival. Gather enough food and you won’t starve. Keep an eye out for other tribes/clans/families competing for the same resources and you don’t get killed. Processing TPS reports all day doesn’t seem like it does much of anything even though it gives you money. We’ve lost the connection and our brains can’t handle it.

IIRC, people were slapping five (and then ten) in the 60s. As with a lot of cultural things, black people were doing it first.

Hey, now. Seven bits per character were good enough for Granddad, they should be good enough for you.

The survivors will be sure to feed the kitty on time.

It’s more like men can have all the sex they want, women can only have sex to create more babies.

Reminds me of the time when I helped install some 120 VAC ceiling fans and the electrician* wired them to the 220 VAC line. They spun like a helicopter trying to take off.

*Worked for the local electric utility, we trusted him, foolishly.

There was a saying in the Nixon years: “Dick Nixon, before he dicks you.”

It’s not like the bony-eared assfish is going to clap back, not with the smallest brain-to-body weight ratio of all known vertebrates.

I looked at Joplin before switching to Obsidian from OneNote. It has a mobile app but I don’t know if it does local storage or not.

Shoot one CEO in NYC and the entire state goes nuts.

I was developing 30 years ago and I love what’s available today. Nostalgia is fine, as far as it goes, but things change and sometimes for the better. This is one of those cases.

Heaven forbid an animal have emotions.

I’ve got a bit of Neanderthal DNA, and a lot of folks of Eastern European descent do as well. My ancestors were swingers, I guess.
