Amazing, what was it like 11 years ago? Manna from the sky, ambrosia everywhere?

What’s a prat? I thought that was something Joe Rogan was peddling to my parents. You know, because of my prejudice against old people?
Get it now, you snaggle-toothed limey?

You could, yes.

I fear the day my little Win7 lappy finally cooks itself. The modern computing landscape is bizarre, alien, and frightening to me. Maybe I can build a XT and find a 300 baud BBS?

It means you are exactly like the people you purport to hate.
- Comment on Please bro 1 week ago:
Maybe instead of giving in to your prejudices, (like you think only your parents do), why … don’t you look it up?

You never “do your own research”. You trust the experts and listen to them.

Are gas atoms spherical?

Well I know the liquid phase is what happened after I ate at that filthy pizza place. Yikes.
- Comment on nooo my genderinos 1 week ago:
Simple, “solid state” means “no moving parts”, like a vacuum tube, for example.

Was he genetic?
- Comment on If there's a sort of "apocalyptic" event but there are still surviving communities, will people be able to make eyeglasses again, or are people with vision issues gonna be fucked? 1 week ago:
If there’s that type of event, we (the survivors, that is. 95% of us will die) are going back, way back. When the elevator falls from the 21st century down to the 20th and 19th, the cable snaps and we’re going back to the ground.
See, even a hundred years ago, items like a light bulb or electric motor already depended on a very large supply chain and many people working together that never meet in real life.
How do you make glass? Do you even know what glass is, how many types there are, how to make it different thicknesses or shapes? And even if you can, can you make more for everyone else?
What are you doing in the meantime that you don’t have glass? How are you feeding yourself? With what?
Even if you think glass is “simple”, how would you get the materials and tools? The people who used to do that, where are they? What knowledge have they lost? Where is that material today?
In other words, you’re back to your bare hands and wits and whatever is in walking distance from you, right now.
Think you’ll survive long enough to worry about glasses?

Interesting, thanks.

I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking about this important issue… I wonder what Susie Dent thinks of it.
- Comment on Anon is Bri’ish 1 week ago:
Hm, I’ll try and find some examples. It just fascinates me how things like language evolve chaotically, like tiny changes that somehow then become the new equilibrium point.
- Comment on Anon is Bri’ish 1 week ago:
I’ve only ever heard that “added r” thing when watching BBC stuff. Can you link me to some Americans saying drawring instead of drawing, for example?
- Comment on Anon is Bri’ish 1 week ago:
Don’t forget the bizarre “r” into everything like drawring, the lawr, etc.

She looks odd to me. Ever since I saw the video to Black Hole Sun…

But you helped money to flow in the right direction, right? You helped them dusty dummies to understand that’s our stuff under their sand, right?

Or take them to a Coldplay concert.
