Do it and I destroy your backend.

Have you dropping tables like you’re Mankind in 1999.

Perché non entrambi?

I was at the brewery recently and one of the televisions was just on a playlist of this YouTube channel with some old Italian grandmas, chilling at home, making handmade pasta.

Would love a Collab.

This actually happens to me a lot at work…but it’s because:

• I sign work emails with a certificate and sometimes it asks for the password

• My company also has us mark each email with a third-party classification program.

These don’t come up until you hit Send, and sometimes can take several seconds.

So naturally I get distracted, open up a hundred more windows, and eventually reboot.

The really fun thing about this, is that it won’t even save a draft if it was waiting for a password…so Outlook continues to gaslight me on whether or not I wrote the email in the first place.

Hah like any cop has that good of aim.

Reminds me of the Derrick Comedy classic “Self Defense”.

We get it. You’re a Lit major with ADHD.

Is this…the legend of zelda timeline?

Back to the Future 2.

Kids think whatever they’re exposed to.

Neither of my kids use their tablets anymore after having/getting access to a laptop. They were a little confused, at first, since the town uses touchscreen Chromebooks for K-1, but they got used to it, since none of my laptops have a touchscreen. Now they view touchscreens as being for babies. Like that kid in BTTF2 with the lightgun…“You mean you have to use your hands?”

My point is, you seem to think that the new way is better, with everything touchscreen. Just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s better. People thought Teflon and cartridge razors were better too. Turns out they were just brainwashed.

Newer absolutely does not mean better.

This is why we are seeing a return to old household items. People are realizing that Teflon and cartridge razors and Tupperware aren’t really as great as we thought they were. We just grew up familiar with them because that’s what everyone used, so they must be better, right?

This is all because boomers and the “greatest generation” were really easy to market to when TVs came into homes. People weren’t ready for that level of advertisement.

I don’t think we’ll see a return to punch cards, but I don’t see keyboard/mouse ever going away.

Heheh that was my oldest a couple years ago. He’s 9 now but I let him use one of my laptops when he was like 7 to play Minecraft, and it eventually became “his” laptop.

He’s also using Tumbleweed.

He learned how to do all sorts of Minecraft console commands mostly “on his own” (as in, without my guidance, he saw some of the stuff streamers were doing and I explained what it was printed out a little cheat sheet for him and set him off on his own to mess with it. I haven’t taught him any Linux shell (yet), but he is getting pretty good at typing and keyboard shortcuts.

I don’t much care for the streamers. Especially a lot of the Minecraft streamers that pander to kids (cough Mikey and JJ). I don’t allow them in the house anymore. But I’m glad he got some inspiration out of it at least.

Care to name the comic? My kid likes going onto scratch and checking out other people’s stuff, and made a few little animations himself…but the whole thing is a bit overwhelming at first.

The real drug was money all along.

9.

But I had a sliding faceplate on it so I could be cool like neo.

Also it had Snake.

Clearly, like vividly? OKC bombing. Think was 10.

I vaguely remember desert storm missle strike clips. I remember staying up to watch the ball drop in 91. But anything else on tv in the early 90s that didn’t involve mutant turtles, power rangers, Italian plumbers, or mortal kombat is a blank.

I did. 1993 Saturn SL2. I bought that car for $1500 in 2001 when I was 16 and quite literally drove it until the wheels fell off (which then ended in me flipping over the car on the highway, but that’s a story for another day. That also ended with being the reason I can’t listen to “The Red” by Chevelle without a mild panic attack, also a story for another day.)

The idea of buying an 8 year old car (with only 93k miles, at that) for $1500 just seems so foreign now.

All it needed was a muffler, too. I drove it for about a year and a half before I killed the clutch, and that was the most expensive repair it had.

Middle one is the new Providence viaduct change my mind.

Clowns to the left of me.
Jokers to the right…
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
