I usually had the faster CD burner available. Bought my discs in 50 packs.

Convenience is a 52x disc burner which can burn a disc in less than a minute
Wisdom is burning at 1x anyway because it results in a higher quality burn
(this may not apply to burning music, I usually burn PSX games)

The original 23 wire modchip installation was not for the faint of heart.
rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Back in my day, we used the 52x to burn 52 discs simultaneously at 1x speed.

I burned out my Wii disc drive by playing too many ganes burned too quickly.

Same here, I probably still have some sealed spindles of black discs hiding on boxes.

I have to say that one of my biggest regrets in life is spending about 3,000 BTC on pizza. I’d be a millionaire or more if I wasn’t drunk and in my first apartment.
Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Brag about how you spent 3000 BTC on pizza to EVERYONE to make up for it. Hell, start an alpha male podcast just to flex on internet.
night_petal@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
So, since I am female, starting an alpha male podcast might be the most sigma move ever 🤔
slappyfuck@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Do not despair. If you hadn’t spent that 3,000 BTC on pizza, it never would have been worth anything to begin with.
zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Now it’s extra tragic. They should have just made a meal at home and stopped crypto.

3000 BTC? That’s about $354,000,000 (ish) at the time of writing this.

Everybody who bought pizza back then paid the same opportunity cost.

100% kid in the middle is in jail. Sales on the left, accounting on the right.

My childhood! A friend named Derek and everything! I was even the one who’d be most likely to hit my head testing ramps we made out in the woods for our bikes lol
Toastmaster2000@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Hell yeah, I built BMX ramps in the woods with my neighbor too!
SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
So you hung out in the woods, ate ramps, and earned bikes in some sort of make out competition?
Not judging, but I think this might be a somewhat singular upbringing you experienced.
Asafum@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What can I say, I have Italian ancestry so I love garlic! That’s what made it a competition as well, who could take the garlic breath the longest got a bike!

What’s weird is I saw this meme years ago with the same photo but the kid’s name was Cody. I don’t know what happened in between then and OP, I can only assume some in-joke that got lost

With the ramps. Dirt ramps don’t kiss very well though…
Fizz@lemmy.nz 2 months ago
I miss getting home from rugby Saturday morning jumping on my bike and going house to house knocking on the door and in the most polite voice asking if my friend could please come hangout and stay the night. Each house the party size would increase then id finally get back to my house and all my friends would crowd around a tiny TV and we’d play wwe with a multi tap, 4 player splitscreen or die tries on a single player game for like 1 or 2 hours before my mum came and told us we had had enough time in front of screens and needed to go play outside.
Fun times

Cradle of Filth! I used to have some shorts with their logo :))
addie@feddit.uk 2 months ago
Saw them at a festival a couple of years back. They know they’re a bit cheesy and play into it, but they’re a tight band and can still smash out all their hits.
Now, the fact that the festival could hardly afford anyone else because Filth were headlining, that was a problem, but it did mean that a few lesser-known bands got to play a decent set, so it’s all good I suppose.
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Thank you! I couldn’t read the shirt and was wondering what the middle one was.

tbf I noticed this trend partly. Especially with the baggy pants.
python@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Baggy pants would be one thing, but the kids around here are wearing these gigantic jeans that are somehow the perfect length to not crinkle up anywhere, making them look like they just have super thick cylindrical legs. Honestly, it’s pretty unique and I kinda like the look.
(I couldn’t even find a good image online of what I mean because I don’t know the word for it, but this is the closest approximation. Imagine the jeans were stiffer and straighter though, absolutely zero wrinkles)

Savage garden? Not gonna pretend I didnt listen to them, but not during n64 nights with the buds.
No judgement, but they are a different vibe from the bands on those shirts.

It’s a joke that the reality we’re in isn’t real. Someone like me who grew up in the 90s just woke up from a fall and all this was a dream. So we’re back in the 90s when life was simpler and we’re going back to a friend’s house to play Tony Hawk and burn music cd’s.

It was a great time. Felt like less racism, big brother hadn’t been built, pirating was easy, cost of living was low, and the music was lit.

That’s why Trump’s smart - he knows that the American people are fine with invasions without any explanation at all!
BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Not false flag but they did let it happen as a convenient excuse to invade the middle east, especially as a pretext for Iraq, for their resources.
