From being 6’5" / 195cm unfortunately. I unironically felt like the tall guy from the Simpsons. IIRC the suspension was OEM and I didn’t think it was too stiff. I loved the ride height though. Really felt like zipping around in a go kart!

I miss my NA Miata dearly, but my back and legs sure don’t 😞.

Using the popups was always the best part, partially because I liked to imagine she was helping me watch the road ahead of us.

Just gonna pitch in here, but I’m no expert. I was reading people’s reactions when that TLD was introduced, and they raised concerns over the possibility that a bad actor could spoof an address that actually downloads a .zip file to your device when you click the link, even though you may assume it’s an address to a page. No idea what a hypothetical virus could do from a compressed environment, but thats what I remember reading.

Sorry to any experts if I’m muddying the waters with a dumb take!

Best shit I’ve seen all week.

Pun intended? But I agree. Something like this was inevitably going to happen.

I felt like I was alone in being frustrated at this trend. However I found a bit of relief to discover, through messing around in a Win98 virtual machine, that they were occasionally using the term “app” back then as well. Of course it wasn’t as ubiquitous as it is now, but whatever.

Also I thought I’d never see the Xbox kid meme again. What an unexpected throwback!

I’m sometimes prone to this happening, but once I started driving a manual transmission, it hasn’t occurred even once. I’m forced to pay more attention, and it’s even fun sometimes! Downshifting to pass someone is such a joy 😁

I try to use em dashes when I can, but I think they’re used wrong in the comment above (IIRC they’re not supposed to be surrounded by spaces, but I could be wrong). What tips me off is the unambiguously “LLM” narrative voice and structure (“let’s break it down”, followed by an ordered list). Not that a human can’t type that, but sometimes it seems like ChatGPT is incapable of spitting out words in any other structure.

It would be nice if journalists would describe the amount in a quantity related to the food itself, i.e. “xyz tons of food destined to help people stricken by poverty.”

By labeling it with the dollar amount it only helps the message of the scum who claim to be saving the taxpayer money while stomping on the most vulnerable.

Amen. Haven’t cooked eggs in several years. I like them, but I definitely don’t need them. We Americans are so fucking spoiled all the time.

I hope it doesn’t come to it, but maybe a Great Depression 2 will teach us to resist the call of instant gratification for once in our lives.

You think they won’t simply abandon their children at home anyway? Look at how careless they are about securing their firearms around kids.

I love cilantro too, but now I have to wonder… What if we’re not the ones getting the “true” taste?

I’ll take my blissful ignorance with some cilantro on top.

Goddamn… You can’t get any more succinct than these two comments. Nicely put.

That’s not saying much, as they already have 0 control over the creature. By not stopping his attacks, they’re placing the end of their leashes right in his hands.

They don’t even have control over their own servility.

Yep, same! It’s probably a good thing that I didn’t know the first thing about Z80 assembly or I’d have flunked hard 😂 I would have loved to make my own clone of Phoenix!

I did basically all those things, or very similar things, in TI-BASIC back in high school. I didn’t care that they had already been done countless times; I had a blast figuring out how to make them work.

I dearly wish more people would try making basic programs that are 100% their own creation, even if it’s some random string generator. It’s more rewarding than they might think!

What’s their next attack target, puppies?

Remember the time one of those shitheads shot and killed her own dog?

Name checks ou- well, not really…

Ramble on!

“We apologize for the apology. Those responsible for demanding it have been sacked.”

Hmm, reminds me of another republican tv-host-turned-president 🤔
