lol thanks for saving me the trouble of fact checking myself too

Sure, that’s how many cybertrucks were vandalized, but how many were spray painted on?

That was super cool.

One use case is if you’re running a web server that is configured to return a “maintenance” page instead of the live site if a particular file exists. Which is actually pretty cool because then you don’t have to update the config when you need to do something or let your users get a bunch of 502 errors, you just touch maintenance and you’re good.

For me it was growing up with religious fanatic parents who taught us to interpret the “wrong” emotions as moral failings.

I don’t know where you’re at in your life. Maybe you do need to learn to control your emotions more. But also consider learning to accept your emotions, learn what they are telling you, and find a healthy way to process them.

And if you have people in your life who can’t deal with you having emotions, you may need to evaluate that as well.

A few months ago I was doing dishes and for some reason thought about my age and I literally couldn’t remember if I’d hit 50 yet. Had to do the math to remember I’m 45 and that’s quite a ways off. That’s an outlier for sure, but yeah I forget.

It just doesn’t come up often. There are fewer ands fewer markers. Before your 20s you’ve got hitting double digits, becoming a teenager, sweet 16, becoming an “adult”, then not being a teenager any more. In your 20s you’ve got becoming an adult again (and maybe being able to drink if 21 is your drinking age), and then maybe saving money on insurance at 25 if that even matters to you. Then nothing. You might demarcate 30, but nothing really changes. In many senses now it’s “just a number” and the individual increments fail to matter. There’s no differential reinforcement to remembering where you are on the number line.

All y’all guessing this is Australia are correct, dude’s got it listed on his profile. https://twitter.com/Sheeds1984 This is also his pinned tweet, he’s probably enjoying the fame.

That’s why I speak exclusively in Sting lyrics.

Also the clock says it’s 17 degrees Celsius, although to be fair I think it’s established that the clock is unreliable.

Lately I’ve been seriously thinking about resurrecting my FidoNet node. It looks like FidoNet still exists!

Common among the electronics hobbyists that OP mentioned as well, leads are what you call the connections to discrete components or IC’s.

Well that can’t be true, everything I see when I look around is in the US.

So long as you’re not breaking any laws

In the US, basically anything you are not authorized to do on someone else’s computer is illegal and can be prosecuted under the CFAA.

I point this out only to highlight that it’s a terrible law that needs to be changed, I’m not disagreeing with anything that your said.

I, too, choose this user’s life.
