the 1950s. This was a high water mark for conservatism in the U.S., and in order to go on any date at least one parent, usually the girl’s dad, had to be present.
Perhaps this was a regional thing.
I was born in 1970, but from what my parents have described, dates were not chaperoned in the 50s unless you happened to have particularly strict parents. Like maybe if you were Amish or something.
Here’s the only thing I was able to find online about dating in the 50’s
I’d watch that show.
But it’s my favorite, so I asked for it.
I always assumed that Pi day was a holiday created by people who like to eat pie.
Maybe that’s an opinion only held by people who get pie.
Pumpkin pie this year.
I run Linux on my personal machine.
My needs aren’t particularly demanding. Web browsing, watching streaming services, accounting software, some low impact games, 3D modeling, and running a video server.
I assembled my machine from $500 worth of parts 12 years ago. In between, I’ve added some RAM, and about 8TB of mirrored disk to store movies for the video server.
Admittedly, I’m starting to be concerned about the age of the disks, and I think I’d like a better processor, but money is tight.
Given the age of the thing, there’s a chance that it’s just going to drop dead one of these days, but it’s been running for years without me having to do anything but install updates for the OS.
On the 90’s TV show Wings, there was a character, Roy Biggens, whose birthday was on Feb 29th, and his parents were dicks, so they only let him celebrate on Feb 29th. So, in the show when he was turning 40 years old he had a 10th birthday party with all the shit a 10-year-old would want.
According to the article, it’s the payment processing system.
Did it taste like rabies?
Fuck man, bug parts are probably some of the healthiest things in your food.
The shit has micro plastics in it. Stuff that fucks up the kids you don’t even have yet.
Bugs are no big deal. Except they also have micro plastics in them.
Holy shit!
I never knew anything about Thom Yorke, but I just googled him, and there’s one where I work too!
“Ooo… This is neat. I want it.”
“Ooo… That one is neat too. I want it.”
Bam! Now you’re a collector.
Sounds like Maggiano’s except Maggiano’s is Italian food, and when I’ve been there they not only allow you to take home leftovers, the wait staff encourages you to ask for more when you’re done so you have some to take home.
If it’s chipotle style, then I would assume there’s more e. coli.
Way back in the olde tymes, I was having trouble with the NIC driver in my Linux install. I posted a question about it on USENET, and got a reply from the guy who wrote the drivers. He asked for some info about the card, then updated the driver to support it.
The place where I work has an emergency alert public address system. I heard them test it once. It sounded a bit like the first part of the tripod sound from War of the Worlds:
I think it wouldn’t take more than a couple blasts from that before I’d evacuate something.
Shvwip, thwip…shvwip, thwip…shvwip, thwip…shvwip, thwip
English used to have “ye”, but we dropped it. Then we all looked around wondering where it went and had to recreate it.
“Y’all” down south. “Youse” in Philly, New York, Boston, etc. “Yinz” in Pittsburgh.
I think “y’all” is the best choice. I’m not a fan of “youse”. “Yinz” doesn’t even deserve consideration in my opinion.
Are there any others?
My mom often used two:
“Useless as tits on a bull” (often referencing her husband, my dad)
And also, “shit fire and save matches”, which I never understood to actually have a meaning, it was more like just an exclamation of surprise.
