I used to get sandwich bags of weed from a guy that was a “DJ”. He would weigh out 3.5 grams on a triple beam scale stolen from the science classes at a local high school. Also, I could smoke cigarettes at high school in a special shed.

I would hypothetically look up how to set up a Usenet account for downloading and a tracker account for finding said show. I would also buy an eye patch, a funny hat, and a parrot for me shoulder…arrrr.
over 50 is overrated
I just Velma’d my pants
Van Halen finger tapping the fretboard. Didn’t last as a trend, but every guitar player tried it at the time.
Les Claypool from Primus playing lead bass. That was so unique, I don’t think anyone really copied it. A watershed moment anyway.
Neil Pert YYZ or the solo from Tom Sawyer. Same reaction from drummers as guitarists for Van Halen. Blew everyone’s mind as to what was possible by one drummer.
Obviously there was nothing like Jimmy Hendrix either, but there was so much new and experimental music at the time he unfortunately gets lumped into “60’s music” IMO.
The MC5’s performance at the Chicago DNC in 1968 (and by extension Punk Rock). “Kick out the Jams, MOTHERFUCKERS!”
you’re a pirate. you don’t owe anyone anything! arrrrgh!
Me. I’m the guy. I freelanced a lot for a few years. Mostly part time multi-week/month gigs. Every new company that brought me in had a guy already there with my first name. Not a rare name, but not a common name either. Within two weeks of my start dates, those people would be fired. It happened three jobs in a row.
Early internet joke/hoax sight was “drill a hole in your head”. pictures of people with drills in hand and bloody bandages looking all blissed out. I think it was shocking for some because the internet was so new people didn’t think you just blatantly lie without a disclaimer.
“All you have to do is scan a qr code, sit on your phone for 5-10 minutes to figure out our menu system, get water for yourself at the station over there, get your own silverware, pick up drinks at the bar, grab this vibrating puck, and pick up food on the other side of the restaurant. Don’t forget to tip!”
thats a trip! I remember that but it was all but over before my time. I had some Corracho servers I connected to for a time as well. Very slow, but stable.
KDX Peer to Peer and cross platform “sharing”. loved the custom interface options. lucked into a few good servers that had hard to find vinyl shares.
2004 Wacom Cintiq 21UX. Drawing on a screen that large and heavy is awesome. I built it into my desk and can raise and lower it from flat to nearly 90 degrees. The brightness has faded over the years, but I won’t let it go until I can afford a new one (equivalent $3k + today). I can barely work in PS with just a mouse anymore. It spoils ya.
I found my home server is sooooo much faster and more reliable than my streaming services. I usually forget I can watch in a legit way. No ads to skip, stupid popups when you pause, or buffering issues. I ❤️ Local Files!
just got my multi season science fiction show downloaded via the salty seas. apparantly it would cost $50-85 to download or stream from the “legit” vendor. A vendor that bought the rights and closed the ability to access previous seasons. So, not going well for the loyal customers.
Letterkenny, Trailer Park Boys…the Canadian loophole
what I wouldn’t give to play with Bryce 3D and a modern render engine.
That sounds exactly like a guy who collects Porsches.
