Working in IT at the time, we were fairly sure things would be fine by the time New Years Eve rolled around,. Even going so far as to camp overnight outside at the Rose Parade, a wild time on a normal year and ridiculous in 1999 with Colorado Blvd packed with partyers.

The moment came and, of course, nothing really happened...except some GENIUS thought it would be a good idea to set off a giant firework at the college next door, scaring the living shit out of a few thousand people. Good times.

We are but I just use a Lemmy viewer that can block entire instances, problem solved.

RIP legend. He always acted his ass off, every role.

We had a guy learn Dvorak specifically so no one could take his keyboard. Madman or brilliant?

Harder to do if you use Prime for other things. I've never watched a single Amazon video but I'm trying to source other purchase options locally so I can finally cancel the Prime shipping, which was saving our household money over the years. That said, if we can avoid it in the future we'll stay off Amazon.

I love kbin but being a one man show and lacking API it was never really going to be the replacement. I am, however, glad to have it as one of a handful of smaller alternatives and a sort of cousin to Lemmy.

All the tasty data collection and surveillance with none of the calories.

You're just the right kind of evil, that's amazing.

He's been saying it for decades (literally), it's only now that it garners so much attention. Look, I can find 100 reasons to dislike the guy but being consistent isn't one of them.

I used to use the narrator's voice from old "How It's Made" episodes to put me to sleep at night.

Exactly. This case likely will never make it past discovery given how much there is to lose.
