You can still run Win 3.11 in DOSBox in that Ubuntu instance. I did it once for fun (from a Mint VM), but couldn’t get anywhere online.

My headphones beep 10 minutes before they die. Which is especially frustrating when they do that a few minutes into a 2-hour run.

Don’t worry; I don’t know any spoilers. I’m playing the 1995 DOS game from Microprose, and I didn’t come across a commander yet. All characters are soldiers, and 80% of them are cannon fodder that locates the aliens, which then I snipe with my few trained survivors from the distance.

X-Com: Terror from the Deep. Life expectancy of a Russian soldier in Ukraine.
- Comment on I need to restart my morning jog 3 weeks ago:
When I was 34, I got one of them smart scales, and it told me my physical age was 66. So, I started running. At 50, the same scale is putting my physical age at 29. The numbers may not be accurate, but still show how dramatic the effect of active lifestyle may be. Of course, along with running came other changes, such as a healthier diet, but adopting a fitness routine (may not be necessarily running) is the first step.
For the record, I look like a daddy long legs now, not like a cheese grater. But still better than a beer keg I was before.

It all started with The Rundown. Before that, it was all desert, but I guess he didn’t like the sand.

I think this is just for fun. However, I did work for a company where we did everything in-house from scratch, down to our own font face, because we couldn’t afford the legal costs associated with deciphering license agreements.

Leaving on the street is so 1980s… Nowadays it’s enough to threaten them with changing the wifi password, and they’ll clean up after themselves.

I had a Slack chat with my developers today. Towards the end of the discussion, one of the developers, who had been active throughout the discussion, asked Claude to summarize it for her. I’m now looking for ways to replace her…

So, sort of like Washington D.C. urbanities and tourists vs. much of the overflight country.

I think about getting this contraption once my balls start poking out of my shorts.

I wouldn’t mind that. I’m already finding it difficult to find a common topic to talk about with the twentysomethings.

I hear you. A few wrinkles around my eyes and daily cardio, and I haven’t gotten so much young mom attention since I was taking my kids to the playground. 10 more years, and I may do the same with potential grandkids. That will be a deadly combo.

Oh give it a break. He was just caught trying to flick a booger he picked from his nose. I have the same embarrassed look in my face when someone sees me trying to do the same.

Silly person. Everybody knows that most of the nutrients and vitamins the croissant provides are in its peel.

I just cracked my knee. Because I’ve been sitting without moving my legs for too long. Also, because it’s wet and misty outside.

Nowayays, having a telephone line us like hanging up the phone. Only us really old farts still remember what it means.

I have my Teams status at work permanently set to nohello.net/en/. It’s not the women who ignore it; it’s a certain culture, which includes almost all of our customer support staff. They send me a “hi” and then they are happy to wait for the entire day for an answer they never get.

“Farther”. May have been a simple typo.
And as a father, I can confidentry say that a paper airplane that’s tightly scrunched into a ball flies the farthest in our household.
- Comment on There was a time when people had to deal with all of these being separate 2 months ago:
That’s me, today. Different brands and models, but pretty much the same items. If I have the space (inner coat pockets, for example), I also add a small notepad and pencil, and a calculator. I ain’t gonna pay for a HP-12C calculator app, when I have the fully functional hardware.
- Comment on Kitchen 3 months ago:
We have a beautiful living room that seats a dozen people. Nobody ever goes there. The entire family and guests prefer to squeeze around the 6-person kitchen table or lean against the kitchen counter. And we like it that way.

Now you gave me an inspiration. I’m eorking with a few other parents to create a local, walled “Internet” for the kids in our estate, and webrings would be a fun feature to resurrect.
