Same here, although it did eventually lead to years of employment as a web dev.

It was around 1991 in the university computer lab. Just a green screen dumb terminal for email and newsgroups. Played too much Nettrek after hours on the Spark workstations later on.

This ought to happen everywhere. Either I’m the admin on my machine or I’m not. If it’s not, I’m not sure how much longer I’ll tolerate a Windows machine.

I live in the US and speak three languages. I almost never have an opportunity to speak anything other than English, and it’s not for lack of desire.

That said, I think the word pathetic is way too harsh. People just have different needs and priorities.

How about a nice cup of shut the Trump up?

He’s one of the absolute best.

Silly rabbit! The Mormon theocracy has no constitutional concerns. The only representation they care about in government is their own.

“I should know. I’ve been embarrassing my state since I was born.”

Gov. Cox, probably.

The only way I’d watch Tucker Carlson on purpose is in a cage fight with Mike Tyson. Pay-per-view is fine, but I’ll travel if I have to.

Sounds to me as though their local government and police have checked out.

Winter, you say. It felt like spring yesterday.

Nope. Not even once, and that’s just fine.

Mint chutney. Mmmmmm!

My Internet has Pihole and uBlock. I don’t know what these ad things are.

They meant to say fecal recognition. They’re struggling to determine the difference between a Whopper and a whopping dookie. No luck so far, and I doubt an app is going to help.

The hole makes it so you’ll never have to practice again.

I used to live there a long time ago. It wasn’t terribly stable then. It’s sad that it’s only gotten worse. It’s a beautiful place, with some of the kindest people I’ve ever known. I hope they find a way out of this.
