I have always been a Toyota guy, and recently driving a Toyota corolla hybrid made me want that car.

Run like the wind!

That is why it is a backup. The others will still be used. There is one drive I want to get rid of, and it is because it has been malfunctioning for a long, long time.

I have HDDs that have been with me for almost 10 years. I need to replace one with one that I can use as a backup for all of them AND have some to spare.

For someone who claims to be an old school masculine individual he is an incredibly insecure whore.

He is the captain scuttling his own ship…

More like setting off explosive charges willy nilly.

Damn straight.

Fuck you Sony…

Signed a lifelong pirate.

Yeah I remember those. Where I grew up that style of ring pull was the dominant style.

One reason why that style was retired in many places was to reduce waste. When you had a ring pull tab that peeled off, most people threw that away separately. I remember seeing those tabs being thrown all over the place.

This reminds me of soda/beer can designs. You know the hole in the ring tab? I used to believe it was there only for it to provide better grip for your finger when opening it. Turned out it was also there so you can fit a straw and have a way of stabilizing it.

Most people had no idea about that.

Ironically jokes about the internet raising children is very old. There was a comic strip in Mad Magazine from the late 90s that had a boy go ask his mom ‘mom, if God made everything, who made God?’ She replies to go ask his dad, and when he does his dad replies, ’ go ask the internet!’

It is still funny, but given the incredible amount of disinformation out there it just is a really bad idea.

I remember in the first few years after 9/11 when you had Islamophobes talking about Islamic radicalism and comparing western culture to Islamic culture in what was, retrospectively, the most arrogant and extremely naieve view imaginable. Basically envisioning the entirety of the west in the late 90s and early 2000s as the west always being like that and the then status quo was done via some philosophical debate and innate characteristics instead of whatever was politically and economically convenient at the time.

I wonder where those people are today? Seeing just how legit fragile their whole order really was and how quickly it is unraveling.

I grew up in Dubai and most of my teachers were women. None of the boys ever gave any lip on account of their sex. If they did, the teacher wouldn’t need to discipline them… we would.

I say please and thank you to AI chatbots all the time. This is to make up for my misspent youth insulting Dr. Sbaitso…

Damn straight. I was an open office guy for a while, but word had a slight edge. Now that edge is gone and Libre Office is the clear winner. I will not be going back.

That is the most single pointless genocide ever committed then. The nazis and zionist want(ed) to kill everyone because they want the land… but Trump and Americans gain absolutely nothing by killing these people. If anything they lose a lot since the overwhelming majority of these people were vital workers.

Thorium? Fucking sweet!

It is actually astonishing it took so long for lead to be banned in the US. Even Ben Franklin railed against the use of lead in daily life and he was someone who lived and died in the 18th century.
