Op said that.

palm-sized device that represents access to what is essentially the complete compiled knowledge of humanity

See?

You can thank Roblox for this shit.

Touché.

Three decades for me, but yes. Pretty spot on.

Michael Gambon took over for Richard Harris, who passed in 2002 after Chamber of Secrets. Michael Gambon did pass, but in 2023, which was long after the book movies.

That reminds me of how Will Smith turned down Neo in The Matrix because he thought Wild Wild West was the safer bet.

The one thing I like about streaming music from a service like Spotify is that eventually I will find music I have forgotten about or never knew existed, and it happened organically. Unfortunately , that is a one thing CDs cannot offer.

I think you just made OP’s case about the simplicity of popping a cd in the cd player and being done with it. What you described almost needs a degree to understand. 😂

Ironic, ain’t it?

You’re tight. I was referring to how even sparkling water is bad for you.

Goddamnit. Why is it that everything enjoyable is bad for you? 😡

Russia too. That was a recurring theme in Stargate SG-1.

I’m not a caulk person but after getting hands-on, I got what I needed.

This is good for when the hardware is purchased second hand, or has become obsolete in the future.

I have an iPad I’m still holding onto with the hopes that one day it’ll be Linux worthy.

So yeah, buying new Mac hardware for linux doesn’t make sense. But that’s not the only use case.

Yes, you are right that we all should have been up in arms sooner, but we weren’t. It sucks. And here we are now, fighting the same fight; can we all agree who the real enemy is and focus on that for the moment?

…5 part…

I know! Now I’m dead! 🤣

Van Gough had one ear, so he’s missing one audio cable. Beethoven was dead deaf, so he is missing both audio cables. Wanda was in love with the character Vision, and he died, so no video cable for her.

Edit: typo 🤣

I got asked this question once, and I answered: either working here or going back to school. I graduated with my masters in 2024. But I appreciated that they got me thinking of my future realistically.

If I were to ever be asked this again, I would go more abstract: so many things change on a day-to-day basis, that trying to realistically map out years at a time is not practical, but what I can say is that I am eager to learn, and I love exploring new opportunities for growth.

They probably wouldn’t like that answer either, but at least it’d be honest and not fluff.
