This is true of nearly every topic.

I am a nerd with many computers. That helps.

You know, I’ve always wondered if local sexpot was thrown from that balcony for his anti-establishment and “eat the rich” positions. I think he was too dangerous to them. Tragic loss for the rest of us.

Sure, at least. I remember reading “champing” in the phrase (in books that were at least decades old by then) as a yout and questioning whether that was a typo or a mistake because I was certain I’d heard it as “chomping” when someone spoke it. My english teacher stated more and more people used “chomping” and it wasn’t necessarily wrong. That was in the late 70’s. I am olde and get offa my lawn.

Champing was the standard (even if you’d never heard it) and now it isn’t. Chomping is an accepted version of the phrase now. Language in the act of changing.

It was displeased, but chose not to berate you directly. You may want to check your shoes prior to donning them.

That boy needs therapy!

Spoilers below but it came out is 2001 so whatever

I had someone get mad at me b/c I described a plot from a book written 70 years ago. I declined to edit my post to hide the “spoilers”. I guess I am the asshole.

Me: Hello niece, what career will you embark on once college is over?

Niece: Marketing.

Me: [audibly] Ah, I see. [inaudibly] Where did our family go wrong???

The olde ones are nice. Not sure about the newer ones. I have two T420s and one T430. The 420 was the last of the chicklet keys I think. Can swap CPU/RAM as well. The 430 has the CPU soldered in like most major brand laptops do meow.
