My dad had one years ago - house was built in the mid 60s. Phoenix area. No basement. Concrete slab. So yeah, the slab was poured with that pit in it, under it was just dirt.

My uncle used to design and build houses. Normally he didn’t work for anyone - he’d take out a loan, buy a piece of land, design a house custom fit to the contours of the land, subcontract some parts, but he did the carpentry with some hired help, and when it was all done, he’d sell it (he was a realtor too) and as far as I know always made a profit, though some did better than others…
One year I went to work for him. But he was doing it differently that time, some wealthy developer had hired him to build his own house. I remember him talking about what a big mistake that was turning out to be, the guy kept changing his mind about what he wanted when we were halfway done with something - for example when he saw the rough openings for the windows, he decided they weren’t big enough and he wanted bigger. Problem was, my uncle had already ordered the windows (custom sized of course) and they were already built, just not delivered yet… But the guy had money to burn, so he paid for both sets… Anywho, my uncle had designed the roof to be held up by some hefty beams, and had intended them to be unpainted, so had sourced the high quality (expensive) ones. After we set the beams- most by crane, but one short one was in such an odd position we had to do it by hand- heaviest thing I’ve ever lifted and I only had one end… a motorcycle engine was light in comparison… anywho, he brought his wife to look at the progress, she took one look at the beams and said “… and we’ll paint those lavender…” I could just about hear the steam coming from my uncle’s ears.

I bought a used electric car. I just put my foot down and it goes … Well, it doesn’t go voom, it just goes. Might squeel the tires a little, but otherwise silent power.

I mean, that’s kind of the point - someone else wiser said the real thing, then Mr smarty-pants heard it, didn’t understand it, but thought it sounded cool so began repeating what he thought he heard to people who also don’t know any better, but like the way he says it so they give him their money to play with. Business/capitalism in a nutshell.

I knew a guy in high school that choked himself out for fun, like he would devise techniques to make sure when he passed out the choking force would be removed, and he was trying to convince me to try it… No thanks, I’ll just stick to drugs.

When I was young I could go again within a couple minutes… After 30 it was pretty rare… Then in late 40s started having trouble keeping it up for a one time thing, but I figured it was psychological because my then wife didn’t want it (from me) anymore anyway… Then when that ended I took care of things, got a vasectomy and medication that lets me go multiple rounds again, at least in theory… Haven’t gotten to test out the theory yet, other than in my own hands…

I’m 51, I have several 30-something coworkers, one in particular gets all my cultural references, one in particular gets none of them. It’s fun to get them together…

I’m a 51 year old (as of today) and I feel like I’m 25, and when I talk to people… Wait, I don’t talk to people…

Because it’s not commonly used that way. If we avoided anything that had at some time been used as a slur, we’d only have about 3 names to pick from. (Of course I exaggerate, but it’s better than saying “it would retard growth”, isn’t it?)

Yes, everything about it was extra heavy.

That’s the problem though, with old systems like that, the CPU was like 1/10th of the equation, the hardware was far more important. Porting something often involved a full rewrite.

My dad had a DEC something or other that was basically a cube with most of its space being two 8" floppy drives… No clue if it ran cp/m…

My local science museum had a laptop from the '90s on display, with the caption “computing in the 1900s”. My kids asked if that was what I had in school when I was their age, and I had to break the news to them that I was already done with school when those were current…

It’s both, depending on perspective. You emigrate from America to Zimbabwe according to other Americans. To Zimbabweans, you have immigrated to Zimbabwe from America.

I got a vasectomy because I don’t want kids. Unfortunately, when I got home, they were still there.
(I’m kidding, I love my kids. But I definitely don’t want any more)

I sit in an office all day, not much filth. But yeah, if I go for a bike ride and get all sweaty, I’ll shower after, but then I’ll usually forgo the morning shower… only usually, because morning shower helps me wake up.

I mean, if my experience is any indication, she won’t listen… But then again, it turns out my wife was passive aggressively trying to get me to leave her for years but I was too oblivious to get her hints…
