Ha, these were early Macs (right at the launch of System 7) there was only a few kids with these at home so I had a pretty good idea who was brining in the icons and sound files (aiff if I recall correctly). We had one at my home too btw. They were interesting computers but besides shareware and a couple game companies, they were abysmal for games. We did get a copy of Warcraft 1 and could play it over 14.4k directly dialed to the other computer lines with PC users.

Not as much as it’s taking out of the rest of us, not even close.

Mini has been owned by BMW since 2000 and are still made in the UK, Germany and Austria’s Hungary. The EVs are from Great Wall Motors (in China), but they’re going to start assembling them in the UK next year too.

That would make no sense. There has to be something spinning connected to something rolling in the ground.

All the AC motors have some kind of encoder to control rotation (and can easily be used to count rotations as well). But if Xitter and Doge have taught us anything, it’s that the programmers for Musks companies more not be very competent.

I’ve never wanted kids.

Life changed a lot right as we both were turning 40. Family members died, I finally had a good job, we moved out of one of the most expensive cities in the US.

Now we have a 7 year old and life is very different, some better some worse, but mostly different.

Things change.

Because enough morons voted for republicans while enough democratic votes were being discarded or disenfranchised.

They should have basic flip phones for travel. Sadly most of us should now, especially protesters. Faraday pouches are easily opened and by law enforcement.

Trump has had at least a couple, the SS might know a bit a fair bit more.

Smew, but also snow.

Yup. Even plowing is an HOA task in some places. It’s all a privatization scam and the HOA residents are the marks.

Yup. I was a nerd who got to go inside and boot up the computers and set them back from what the kids had done the day before every morning. Warning sounds with SNL skits were popular at one point, as was messing with the icons.

It was instead of standing outside in the cold wet concrete courtyard for 20 minutes before the first bell.

First job was turning the mouses back over (the were left balls up at the end of each class).

[Musk’s fixer] Birchall was involved in acquiring the property for a compound in Austin where Musk imagined the women and his growing number of babies would all live among multiple residences, according to a person familiar with the matter…Zilis lives in the gated community with their children, and Musk comes and goes. Musk also attempted to get Grimes to move to the compound, but she refused. Similarly, he tried to get St. Clair to spend some time in Austin “with our kid legion,” according to a text he sent her.

It’s cult time for him now, and plenty of magats are thirsty for Flavor-Aid.

They also hurt a lot more of their own. We need a critical mass ready to strike or they’ll just pick off the weakest. I’m gonna be asking around about strikes at this weekends protest.

Even starting with a 2 day strike, one where we could plausibly be “sick” and not lose our livelihoods would be a good step.

Mentioned above is the word Mega might be the problem, because cp is I guess hosted on megaupload

Many of us are well aware that the system has been broken for years and that this was a likely result, but the system also made it very difficult to stop. (The mathematically determined 2 party stem we get with first past the post voting for instance).

Once democrats blew it by giving up local power, they and the country, were done.

I think it’s a good name if it’s a pigskin bag. Gonna start calling my wife’s bag that now. Most of her other bags are nylon or whatever, but on she’s had for 20 years is some kind of leather.

It’s still better if they have to say it, or actively break laws. It slows down the normalization of their crimes, which is one of the tools fascists use to take over.

Doesn’t make sense to kill profitable customers either.

What classic art is transphobic. Lots of renaissance artists were LGB, the T came out when many of them painted themselves into biblical characters of different genders. It gets written off as because using themselves as models was more available than models, or vanity, but transphobic is far from the first description I’d come up with for the art history I learned.

There were gentle warm orange neon switches that were popular in the 60-70s I think. They were in my cousin’s house in a bunch of rooms and bathrooms.

By Neon I mean these:

Lots of extension cords have them to let you know they’re live too.

Edit: I guess they still make them!
