Cops and big city racism

Jesus Christ you still have a DOS umbrella?

A friend of mine had a Commodore 20 with no tape drive. Not only could we only have one game at a time installed, but also we had to manually type in the code for the game each time.

When my main (only) programming language was TurboBASIC, I was amber all the way. On the other hand, that sweet sweet Apple IIe was green.

I vaguely remember somebody sending me a bitcoin many many years ago, but I haven’t been able to find it.

Angel is a centerfold!

I remember getting a Hotshot/286 card which allowed me to upgrade my 8088 to a 286. I don’t even remember what programs I used back then but I’m sure they ran a lot faster after that.

IIRC correctly, the card was normally around $400 but I managed to get one for $150 and I was so proud of my dealmaking.

Anybody here remember Plastic, circa 2000? It was a forum kind of like Reddit, although I don’t remember if it had upvotes or not.

I can’t believe people still believe Bigfoot is real. It’s so obviously just a Yeti in a gorilla suit.

Yeah, NOTHING in ALL CAPS.

It was a great way to dispose of surplus bombs from WWII.

They were designed for the faster speeds. Speeds were lowered to 55 mph in most of the country during the 1970s as a (perfectly rational) response to the OPEC oil embargoes in that decade. Lower speeds = lower fuel consumption per mile.

I once ran afoul of our UX guy for suggesting that we run our design past a focus group before implementing it. Dude literally said “users don’t know what they want”.

I had a job like that back in the day (circa 2000). I remember one stretch where for a solid month around 50 developers did nothing but call in to Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? to try to become a contestant. Ironically, one web app I wrote for them (with Visual Basic and “Classic” ASP) is still in use today – and it was a front end for a mainframe system that dated to the 1980s, which means that’s still up and running as well.

I give peanuts to crows but sometimes one squirrel shows up and chases the crows away (and there are usually 5 or 6 crows there). I don’t get it – this particular murder will gang up on red-tailed hawks and chase them away but they’ll just sit there looking sad at the one squirrel as he eats the peanuts.

I always say: when Life gives you lemons, jam them up Life’s tailpipe.

You put Basel in the ratatouille?!?!

Which direction you goin’?

Because the last time Congress declared war was 1941, and we have fought a shit ton of wars since then.

I remember reading for four years that Merrick Garland was just making sure his T’s were crossed and his I’s dotted before putting Trump away. Whoopsie.
