  Yeah most people can’t do that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do you slice it??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Daily Mail is British

  Oh man Ernest Seton Thompson. I read Wild Animals I Have Known when I was like 7 and it stuck with me.

  I got some doordasher with a typoed email who is apparently constantly driving under the influence for doordasher because I keep getting reminders that that’s against Doordash policy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I could use some serious advice as to whether or not to do this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s the serious advice: whenever you have to think about it like this, don’t do it.

  I had a 70 Olds 98 with the Rocket 455. You could literally hear the gas pouring into the dinner-plate sized carburetor when you floored it. Had it for two or three days and the jankt wiring caught fire and it burned up. Probably for the best really.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The White House Rose Garden was replaced by pavement⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Of everything, this is low on the list of things to be annoyed about. While there were probably better ways, this is an area used for gatherings and DC being DC, it is pretty marshy and unusable as a lawn. There have been plans for a long time to do something like this.

  Have been in Manhattan the last couple of days, the bikes are a damn menace. The cars at least stop for crosswalks and signals. The bikes absolutely do not. Got stuck at that big bike crosswalk near Central Park West as hordes of bikes just blew the red light, meant specifically for them in their dedicated bike lane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨W.XP⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Some old VMs, not one. Had 95,98SE,XP, 7, and 8.1. Also found NT install disks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨W.XP⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well it was two days ago because I found some old VM backups and booted them for nostalgia. Win 7 really was the best

  This is more or less how FCIX got started

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon takes shots at Donkey Kong⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a solid memory of my roommate and I hitting Mine Cart Madness, and when I finally made it through we whooped and hollered so much the upstairs neighbor got mad and came down to shush us, at 4 PM on a Saturday

  Don’t make me stop this abdomen

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this new? I have some 10 year old ish Asus motherboards that have been really solid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peasants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It changed my life. Mainly because of the automatic citation handling and bibliography generation in LyX.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Supreme Commander is good. It is the closest modern-ish game to Total Annihilation that I’ve seen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, second Talos Principal, it is excellent and the soundtrack too.
