Fuck I still hate them for the minidisc

In that guys defence, it’s pretty common to just have your torrent client on in the background doing its thing. He was likely unaware either until seeing the notice.

I have questions

I agree with all of this, but I do have a bit of pushback- The account creation process, with the steps of create, verify, provide username to host, wait for invite, accept invite, pin to sidebar is enough of a barrier that it stops some people. I have a handful of guest accounts already setup and sorted that I toss out to interested people, and if they find it useful only then do I have them jump through the hoops of creating their own account.

Memory Express is your friend, especially in western Canada.

Where I am it universally refers to a railroad company, Canadian Pacific.

Where’s the fun in building an Apple IIe if you use a flash drive instead of the hard drive?

Not to be that guy, but the Apple IIe didn’t have a hard drive. External tape or floppy were your only storage choices. The real cool kids had two floppy drives, so you could pirate games directly disk-to-disk.

Thomas Midgley Jr is the same guy that invented leaded gas and also invented freon (chlorofluorocarbons). Imagine being the architect of not one but two of the greatest environmental calamities of the industrial age.

I humbly direct you towards the raw milk crowd

I quit caring a while back so I could be driving up the numbers.

I read the headline and went “what, are they going to start drinking their own piss?”

And the answer was yes. Yes they are drinking their own piss.

I have two superpowers:

Mosquitoes don’t find me delicious. When everyone else is getting hammered, they generally leave me alone. When I do get bit, the bites barely swell and they don’t usually itch.

Rock star parking- Anywhere I go, I always check out immediately in front of the place I need to be. There’s almost always an empty spot, and if there isn’t there’s someone just leaving that I pull into. I dunno how that helps me fight crime, but it sure would be useful if I were a bank heist getaway driver.

I remember in the 80s several National Lampoon covers that featured this concept. One had a tagline with something like “Welcome to America, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Honda Motor Company” or something like that. And then there is the slightly racist one in this image:

Damn, I’ve heard jokes about quebecios being snobby with their French but that seems excessive

It’s not snobby. From an anglo perspective, here’s how it plays out in reality:

WAITER: Qu’est-ce que vous voudrais? ME: Huh? WAITER: What would you like? ME: {proceeds to order}

…And life goes on.

Trans activists are going about this all wrong. Instead of sending someone like Marcy in to violate the law, they need to do this:

Send in the biggest, burliest, hairiest ftm trans dudes into busy ladies rooms, the room that the state insists he must now legally use. And record the reaction of the women and girls leaving for broadcast media. Because by focussing on mtf trans in ladies rooms, I really feel the dipshits that make these laws haven’t thought their cunning plans through very fully.

Welcome to the club. Fuck that place.

After a decade there I also got permabanned. And then I got permabanned 3 more times with alt accounts for saying some pretty innocuous shit, but almost always political.

I finally got the message. Fuck you Reddit.

> That being said, electronics in our devices do tend to reduce the amount of water and power that appliances use. Dumb devices are extremely inefficient, even though there are fewer points of failure.

I fail to see how electronics in these (unpowered) devices in any way reduce the amount of power that they use.

Who, you mean Whiskeyleaks?
