  That didn’t look like mk8 though? The character style looked different, Mario looked more like Wonder than Odyssey. His cart was proportioned taller and skinnier than mk8 carts. The race track isn’t one seen in mk8 either

  No

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Google TV update will track your movement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a sweet moment in the mid 00s to early teens where cool stuff was being made to push the envelope. Yeah they wanted to sell you stuff, but they did so under the guise that it would be something to look forward to instead of sucking every penny from your dry husk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pornhub Is Now Blocked In Almost All of the U.S. South⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is actually what is happening. Nothing in the Florida law blocks these sites, they just don’t want to deal with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely will "Cloud Storage" eventually replace Local Storage?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, it’s why ASCII has weird characters like “carriage return” and “bell”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely will "Cloud Storage" eventually replace Local Storage?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-sharing

  Terminals sent keystrokes to the mainframe, and the mainframe sent text back to the terminal. They used modems and serial connections

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely will "Cloud Storage" eventually replace Local Storage?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty funny how I’ve seen posts exactly like this one 10-15 years ago, and nothing has really changed that much from a consumer perspective.

  It’s just simply cheaper, more reliable, and more convenient to have local storage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon needs cooking advice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I never salt my pasta water, and don’t miss it. It’s uncessary salt when the pasta and sauce have plenty anyway

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it has an HDMI port, it can be a dumb TV. Just don’t connect it to wifi, easy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Habits of Insects⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for actually explaining it instead of downvoting me. Heaven forbid I’m not aware of every micro-connotation caused by the current depressing news cycle

  Where did Musk come from? I don’t see any mention of it here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is "oh boy" considered a gendered term?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I got into an internet argument with someone who claimed similar with my usage of “dude.”

  In the wise words of a great poet of our generation, “I’m a dude, he’s a dude, she’s a dude, we’re all dudes, hey.”

  I still use dude with everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I do to help?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Genuinely: don’t forget. Ask the same question 3, 6, 12, 24 months down the line. The news might change but the need won’t

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically... How fucked is the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Finally a level-headed take. The world isn’t ending overnight, it’ll just get shittier

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon just wants some friends⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I always thank my friends for having a good time. It’s easy when saying goodbyes. “Hey thanks for hanging out, it was fun!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I... Do court? I didn't realize my license was expired and got pulled over. Now I have court tomorrow.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably not. By the sounds of it, it’s “just” traffic court… You’ll be herded into a courtroom with a couple dozen others, and each of you will be called in turn to speak to the judge. Kinda like a pop quiz. You’ll be told your charge and be asked a few questions. If you’re polite and genuine you’ll likely get off easy, since people LOVE to fight back and dig their hole deeper.

  Back in high school I was in a similar situation, and basically got it completely dismissed because I was young and it was my first ever infraction.

  IANAL

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Replacing an old mini fridge⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The old adage “they don’t make em like they used to” heavily applies to fridges. Our 30 year old fridges in unininsulated garages (one at home, one at a workshop) keep going through all the abuse and neglect, but the 3-5 year old fridge in the kitchen always has problems. Replacing it with a different brand only slightly increased the reliability. I’d foot the electricity bill for peace of mind.

  Power to them, until the software I use has 100% Linux compatibility then my hand is forced

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recall: Microsoft re-launches ‘privacy nightmare’ AI screenshot tool⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can keep using win10 without security updates, just be smart about it. Have a good firewall, and just use it for gaming and bills or whatever and you’ll be fine
