I’ve seen so many of these clocks at antique stores, estate sales and such with with IBM plaques on them with someone’s name. Apparently IBM used to gift these to employees for 25 …

When I was in highschool I started writing a game in Qbasic. Along the way, I wanted it to have a console (like Quake) where you could enter commands and modify the game as you wer…

I don’t know if it was just me but I had bad luck with my holy pandas from them. I build 3 different boards using them and they all started having issues within a few months of use…

I consume a probably unhealthy amount of YouTube and have for years now. I’ve had Premium since the beginning (still only paying $7.99 a month). At least there’s studies that show …

Not really fair to compare the two geographic regions. Nobody wants to live on the streets in Dallas or Houston. It’s way too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. That sai…

My own project is on there still! http://qbasicgui.datacomponents.net/89_exshell.html

When growing up watching Americas Funniest Home Videos my brother and I would run to the kitchen phone to press 1, 2, or 3 to ‘vote’ for our favorite finalist.

I have slight nerve issues that make precise double tap gestures difficult. One of the reasons I switched to an iPhone is the accessibility features are quite good and let me work …

If I don't know the number, I answer with "Hola. Buenos días."

1) Wolfenstein but reskinned so you kill Barney the purple dinosaur instead of Nazis 2) Descent on 3 floppy disks 3) Some primitive CAD/3D modeling thingy, can't remember the name …

I like long videos, too, but I could see this being useful to let it summarize a video beforehand so I can see if it's worth spending the time to watch it myself. Could also be goo…

I've been paying $7.99 a month.

I bought a 2011 4runner last year and one thing I really like about it is the lack of a big infotainment touch screen. Lots of physical buttons.

At least where I have worked, the attitude is your PTO is yours and you can use it for whatever you want, no questions asked. How can an employer be mad for an employee using the P…

I just watched Planetes last weekend. I'd started it many times but never finished it. Once the main story arc with the main character gets rolling, it gets really good. I wish mor…

Plants may not have a concept of numbers or math, but they seem to follow mathematical patterns regardless. https://thatsmaths.com/2014/06/05/sunflowers-and-fibonacci-m...

First time I used Debian was 2005 when it was the easiest option I could find to install Linux on a Sun Sparc Station LX with netboot. Still my favorite and my go-to Distro.

Reminds me of some Lotus Notes folklore. Apparently they used to use timestamps with a resolution of 1 second as unique IDs for things. When there was a collision, they would just …

I think they mean cought vs caught

Reminds me of how moon landing hoax and flat earth people debate.

With respect to covid, I remember it being said that washing your hands with soap was the most effective way to stop the virus spreading from physical contact. Yet the assumption t…

My first Nintendo device since the original NES was in 2015 when I bought a 'New' Nintendo 3DS XL. It was getting long in the tooth by then, but I had a lot of fun with it and stil…
