  This is Microsoft BOB

  Here’s a good demo video without any talking or people mugging for the camera, just the interface: youtu.be/VrsIsf8PQJY

  Microsoft Bob was a Microsoft software product intended to provide a more user-friendly interface for the Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows NT operating systems, supplanting the Windows Program Manager. The program was released on March 10, 1995, and discontinued in early 1996.

  I don’t buy green olives or macadamia nuts anymore.

  If I have a whole jar of green olives, I eat a whole jar of green olives, one after the other. Same for the nuts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broomsticks? What is this? The Dark Ages?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm. I feel like one could mount a chair to one of these and have the mop sticking out of the ringer, handy for jousting purposes. Seems more comfy.

  Wee!

  I drink instant because, well, it’s instant, and I can’t tell that one is better or worse than the other.

  Coffee, cigars, chocolate, wine, cheese, etc. All these things people obsess over and judge; they all seem equal to me. Not better or worse, just different.

  Mirror mounted behind couch, people standing would get the angle to the phone.

  It was their member.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you break it, will you be there to pick up the pieces?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s what is interesting about these things. The concept was that no one would break the glass spuriously to get to the fire extinguisher unless there was a fire. BUT, anyone who wanted to use the fire extinguisher for some purpose other than an emergency would have no qualms about breaking the glass--it’s just one more social contract to break on the way to breaking a social contract.

  Maybe that’s why they aren’t around anymore, they never really worked as intended. It’s just that so few people would find nefarious purpose for a fire extinguisher that it seemed to work, because the glass was rarely broken without need.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you break it, will you be there to pick up the pieces?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In case of broken glass, break glass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨According to the New York Times, Game of Thrones is the 6th best TV show of the 21st century⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll quote myself from the other post about this:

  Why the fuck would I care what the NYT thinks about TV shows?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you open up an unmanned store in the US and will it stay in business or close down?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Won’t work in most cities.

  This is common enough in very small towns not on main highways, though, where everyone knows everyone, and many of them are relatives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you replace the beef patty in hamburger with a think slice of ham does that make it more or less a hamburger?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Close. The creation was the Hamburg Steak, it was not originally a sandwich. A hamburger is a hamburg sandwich.

  My Girl. But, my parents didn’t listen to Motown, so I doubt this was on.

  They don’t mean Chinese communism, they mean the scary kind of communism, like Cuba.

  Anal; I can take it or leave it. If she wants it, I’m down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Without a marker...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If someone confided in me they played with shit, I’d probably throw up on their feet and I’d definitely stay away from them.

  I’m 60 and I’ve “played a lot of games” in that time, but scat is the one thing I’ll never touch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want to be at peace⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is all well and good for a couple of hours. Then it gets cold, and you get hungry, and the mosquitoes swarm.

  Hopefully, just out of camera view, there is a warm, cozy cabin with electricity, hot and cold running water, at least a septic system, but preferably city sewer, and of course, internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sacre blu⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I could easily do a pound a day without thinking.

  That’s why I stopped buying cheese. The only thing I buy is 1 pound of grated Kraft cheese-analog per week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sacre blu⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the fancy way. I make mine with cornstarch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sacre blu⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fedi is freedom⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t even know how to do any of that.

  I like my shitposts pure and uncut.

  Good doggo staring out the window, guarding the family. Good doggy! Good Peensy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon fears The Hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, the next victim’s name is displayed on the palm. So, everyone knows you’re it, no one will help you, or let you come inside to hide, because then the building would get crushed.

  OH! Right! It would be 100 years earlier. I am not a smart man.

  Oh well.

  People used to do this, and they still do, too.
