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.

Uncut here, never needed lube either.

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…

Date a contortionist, order is not a concern.

Not that easy - changing the rules generally requires a vote to the homeowners, not just the board, and usually requires a minimum amount of participation (like a majority have to approve, regardless of how many(few) vote).

I don’t consider it authoritarian to not want my next door neighbor to turn their front lawn into a junkyard.
That is authoritarian, regardless of how reasonable the desire is. If the only thing keeping your neighbor from turning their front yard into a junkyard is a threat of force, is that a relationship worth preserving?

Ring doorbell camera can’t be “pointed”, it screws to a flat surface, presumably the doorway. That said, they have a pretty wide field of view.

In US we call that a housing cooperative, that’s different, because the co-op owns the building(s), then people own shares in the co-op. An HOA generally only owns (and maintains) the common areas, then individuals own their own building, but sometimes there aren’t any common areas, then you’re just paying the HOA for the privilege of being subject to their extra rules. Co-ops are rare, and harder to finance (since you don’t own something that can be foreclosed on)

Seems like it should be possible to introduce crab grass to his lawn…

I grew up in Boston, I’ve lived in Phoenix for the last 25 years… I think you have that backwards, at least that’s been my experience.

A day? In New England we say if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes, it’ll change. And Boston drivers aren’t bad, just aggressive. New Jersey drivers are bad.

Motorcycle Safety Foundation. They do rider training, then when you complete it it counts as your road test when you add the motorcycle endorsement to your license.

It was way more than that- like 50-70k…

Same way I stuck with my wife for 20 years despite her being a rotten person - I kept hoping it would get better, and she’d string me along with promises… Then she cheated on me with our son’s best friend’s dad, that finally made it easy to leave, and once I left, hindsight made all the previous mistreatment so much more obvious…

I ride a motorcycle… When I was doing the MSF training (after riding illegally for years), I kept getting dinged for not turning my head to look into a turn. Thing is, I have excellent peripheral vision. I can see 90° to either side when I’m looking straight ahead - so I tend to keep my gaze straight ahead regardless of where my attention is…

That was the point. A point that has been lost over the years.

I did that when I was young and worked throwaway jobs. I used to have a manager named Rick who would routinely make fun of people’s names… So I would call him Prick. To his face, of course. He tried to fire me once, but he was overruled by the owner.
