Sweet AW11! Before I bought my current car (a 2016 Honda Accord) I was on the hunt for an affordable SW20.

Officially, I lost the bidding on one by only $750, although I know that one bidder would have kept going if I elected to outbid him/her. I wonder where that '91 Crimson Red example is now...

That's such a trip. Only a 6 year difference between the two of you, yet you experienced the dawn of something and they didn't, and it shapes both of your perspectives so much.

Even though it technically applies to transistors, Moore's Law has been a good barometer for the increase of complexity and capabilities of technology in general. And now because of your comment I'm kinda thinking that since the applicability of that law seems to be nearing its end, it's either tech will stagnate in the next decade (possible, but I think unlikely), or we may be due for another leapfrog into a higher level of sophistication (more likely).

I love this. Thank you.

Still grinding away at Street Fighter 6, and currently starting another run of the FFVII Remake!

In the Philippines, it's Juan and Maria dela Cruz, although those have fallen out of use due to the popularity of Western (aka US) culture. Interesting reading about every country's own names for their everyman.

Was about to say, man almost went full Happy Gilmore showing emotion like that on the green.

What a top-tier tip. I'm one of those people who have uBlock Origin but never knew about this. Thank you!

In the 1880s, pointillism was developed by 2 French artists, and used it to paint the landscapes and scenes of their time.

Almost 100 years later, another Frenchman created an image using arguably the same technique, and the object of that image is practically (and I think theoretically?) timeless.

This is all just gently blowing my mind right now.

I try to keep an open mind, especially because I'm immigrant who has other concerns outside the US sociopolitical sphere, but this is exactly one of the things I immediately saw happening given the demographic of people paying for Twitter Blue.

Just curious since I just got into it... what other issues did you have? If you're comfy with saying, of course.

I'd been smoking cigarettes for 11 years and just switched to vaping 2 months ago. My lungs feel much, much better. I can walk up multiple flights of stairs/longer distances without getting winded. My mouth also no longer has that eternal burnt paper taste, especially when I wake up in the mornings.

So for the purposes of what I switched to vaping for - to ease back on destroying my lungs - vaping/e-cigs work. I used to smoke 2 packs in about a week and a half. I'd say the amount I vape now is the equivalent of 1 pack every month (I don't constantly hit it throughout the day).

I have no doubt that inhaling vapor with that density is still not good, but it's better than what I was doing previously.

As for helping to quit the habit entirely, I think that's the opposite of their goal. All these fruity flavors they keep coming out with seem like they're designed to be popped like candy.

+1 vote for the Dishonored games. If you want a quick showcase of what's possible in this title or the whole series, StealthGamerBR is probably one of the best people to watch.
