That's the company who made the pagers that Israel turned into bombs in Lebanon and Syria to target Hezbollah. Which also killed and injured other folks like children.

I wish I could find my old zip disks and drive at my mom's house. It has my old middle-school AngelFire website files from a site I ran called DBZPlanet. Was mostly me learning Photoshop to cut DBZ characters out of their backgrounds and adding glow to them. Along with basic news about when Cartoon Network would be airing the next set of English translation episodes. My first website.

I used to run a popular mod that made an indie beta game even more popular. Guess who almost all of the final testers were before release? My whole team. We were clearly the most devoted people to the game and knew best how to break it. It was nice to get a head-start on our new mod (which we pivoted to be the equivalent of Steam Workshop or an app store before those existed). Of course, the creator became a dickwad years later and we all ended the mod and the game is dead.

I saw IDE cables referred to as PATA cables in a YouTube video earlier today. "Huh, I don't remember calling them that." Luckily right after that they clarified that's a more recent name for them. Still felt old.

Pretty sure the old fuckers in the legislature aren't writing that into the contracts. If you ask them what browser they're using they'll probably say "internet."

I hid this post then immediately unhid it for a closer look. Digital double-take.

I got a Bluetooth tape adapter. Had to try a few because some are real ass.

Temporary monopolies are the governments reward to encourage new works of art and inventions. The trade off is that it's temporary. By extending copyrights indefinitely it actually discourages new works to be created because they're competing with more creations than ever, and nothing can be built as a derivative work. Trademarks, which Disney still owns, are protected basically indefinitely.

When I went to my first rodeo they had a long delay because the bull refused to exit the arena. I had to say to strangers, "This is literally my first rodeo, is this normal?" Got a lot of laughs. It is apparently not normal.

I (male) had a pair of dress shoes that sounded a bit like high heels. You notice a lot of dudes turn their heads (or try to be more sneaky about looking) when your shoes make that noise. They were not stoked to see me instead.

Come on. People of nursing age have had a literal lifetime of new sex science. There really is no excuse except for an unwillingness to learn.

Use food knives for cutting food? If you find a situation where you are caught unexpectedly without another knife for apples and cheese... Break the apple and/or cheese in half (easy) and use your mouth. Nobody will be impressed if you bust out a PK for the charcuterie board. Especially when they see guys like my old roommate use it to pick their toe-jam moments before using it for food. Or carry a separate knife for food in your bag. I find it unlikely that you had an apple or hunk of cheese in your pocket instead of your bag.
