Yeah sometimes that neuron hasn’t fired in a while.

There’s an Ahoy video about tracker music, and when it played the first three notes of “Foregone Destruction,” that fucker released aaall the good chemicals.

Wackiki Wabbit. Set on Humuhumunukunukuapua’a’a’a Island.

It was fine, if it ran.

Windows XP wasn’t even secure and reliable, at the time. At this point it’s indistinguishable from keeping Windows 95 on a full tower from Gateway because nothing else supports your vintage scanner. You’re one step from the tech-priests waving incense as a ritual against crashing.

Wittgenstein essentially said there is only counter-evidence. You cannot support an explanation; you can only disprove competing explanations. This was famously expressed as a conversation about heliocentrism. His friend said, “To ancient people, it looked like the sun went around the Earth.” Wittgenstein replied, “What would it have looked like if it looked like the Earth went around the sun?”

You don’t.

But when you eventually reinstall, because Ubuntu crossed the line, Mint is just Ubuntu without the bullshit.

Previously? Some schmuck changing all the windows to be left-handed, immediately before a long-term-support feature freeze.

Zero percent surprised by many other comments throwing shade at Ubuntu.

Just use Mint.

Reflective LCDs would have been equally blurry, in full color, and still tolerated optional tennis-ball-green frontlights for playing under the covers.

The real surprise came a decade later when everybody except Nintendo realized active TFTs made color a decent option.

Oh god, Ni-Cd. Six hours of charging for fifteen minutes of use.

Color wasn’t to blame. It was the cold-cathode backlight.

From 1990 to 2000, AA capacity in watt-hours basically doubled. Which did mean anything you had could have modern batteries, since you’d just… buy new batteries.

This is mostly how the DMG Game Boy needed 4 AAs and the Game Boy Pocket got away with 2 AAAs.

It provides no reliable remedy. Without knowing why this address won’t work, you can never be sure the next will work.

Never give Nintendo money.

Nothing good is allowed to happen ever again.

All the cool kids left.

… and reporting itself can be a bannable offense.

We have ruined everything in the name of sportsball.

You’re probably not supposed to use Mio and similar in straight vodka, but boy howdy, you sure can.

Training is transformative.

The robot does not contain the work. The robot has seen the work enough times to extract the essence of Shrek, to where it can almost draw his outfit right. How else were you gonna get a chatbot that knows what things are? You can’t derive Lord Of The Rings from first principles. Either it learned from the library book, or it learned from some blog posts describing the library book.

I don’t even care about normal piracy, and I’m supposed to be mad about linear algebra that can inaccurately describe pop culture? Like an SSD-filling model is a substitute for a 100 KB text file?
