I think there was a golden 20 year era for learning basic computing. If you were a kid somewhere between 1985 and 2005 you had to figure out some slightly more technical things to use a computer. I’m late Gen X and so was exposed early on to the Commodore 64 and MS-DOS, but kids working with Windows 3, 95 and 98 would have developed similar skills.
It blows my mind that the 28 year old DVD format (720x480 resolution) is still being sold and consumed. I can walk into my local Walmart today and at least 40% of disks including brand new movies are on DVD. They look noticeably worse on even HD TVs (1920x1080) and no amount of fancy upscaling is going to make them look good on modern 4K UHD TVs (3840x2160).
Yeah it’s a weird position to be in. I’ll be paying for the service but pirating the few shows I watch.
Yeah, I’ve experienced this one. It was huge and flew right at my head.
Stupid Philistines.Theater has a tradition going back thousands of years of using whatever gender actor for whatever gender part.
If it’s the end of the evening and you’re 47 with no costume and driving a beatup Civic, I’ll happily dump candy in your backpack so that I don’t have it sitting at home tempting me to eat it.
It’d be funny if you cross posted this question.
I’ve been trying to get my family name .com for years. I have no plans for it but neither does the current owner. They either paid for like 15 years in advance or they just keep reupping. I am not willing to make them an offer since I want it for the bare minimum.
Yes. I pay for YouTube Music for my six account family and, as a side benefit, we all get ad-free YouTube.

Legs in particular get a lot less attention from me in the winter as mine tend to dry out and become itchy even with moisturization.
I’ve been paying for a family plan for Google’s music streaming service for years. It has long included YouTube premium so the six family members I have on the plan don’t see YouTube ads. I guess it’s good that creators get a somewhat bigger cut of money from us, but honestly if I didn’t use the music streaming service, I’d be in the same boat as everyone else - desperately looking for a better way to block ads.
You must not have a white collar job. The corporate world lives for email.
It’s cheap AND all your friends in China can easily keep tabs on your life. I call that a win!
I started to not sleep in (so much) after I had kids. I still wouldn’t call myself a morning person but these days 8am is sleeping in.
I ditched them in 2019 after the Blitzchung “liberate Hong Kong” controversy.
I live near a shopping area with a bunch of stores. It has zero cell coverage from any provider. Apparently there’s been some NIMBY resistance to putting up towers in nearby neighborhoods.
Blow up the power looms taking away our home weaving jobs!
Brother, have I got a solution for you!
