Looks like Windows 95 to me.

Sawyer started writing games in Z80 assembly. Assembly language was definitely something you would use to program games back in those days.

nothing existed before

Thing is that there’s no “before”, because time itself started with the big bang. The questions to ask are: is there anything other than our universe, and does that even matter? If nothing can get in or out of our universe, then there’s no way to prove the existence of anything outside of it and there’s zero impact one way or another.

What’s Surtr got to do with it though?

Their story is that she was already deported before they got the order.

My vacuum would pass that test… why is a Tesla worse at this?

do not kill innocent people

Who decides innocence? And where is the line between not innocent but shouldn’t be killed and not innocent and deserves to be killed?

It was down for about an hour. Didn’t work with voyager either.

Maybe the two vampire hands were the problem.

You can’t take the coin out without connecting the cart to another one

I’ve only ever used a debit card when I was in Europe. There was zero incentive to get a credit card. Moving in the US was different, I needed to build credit and cards were the best way.

Now I have a Prime card because 90%+ of my spending is on Amazon and at Whole Foods, both of which give 5% cash back. I get thousands every year, something really hard to give up. I wish I could stop giving Bezos money, but the convenience of Amazon is just too much of an advantage for me. And I know that shopping is now just a drop in their earnings compared to AWS.

None of these points make any sense to me when I think about the pre-reddit internet. There were all kinds of communities everywhere on various forums across the internet. Some forums discussed specific topics, some very niche, other forums were for more general discussions. But hosting and setting up a forum was not always the easiest thing. So when reddit came, subreddits eventually replaced forums. Easy to set up, easy to discover, everything in one place.

Now the fediverse is to me pretty much like going back to the old forums, but a bit more organized. And all of the points in this article could have been made about forums if you decided to analyze forums as one big thing. But in the end, none of it has been a problem (and there are still some forums around today).

Can Zoom handle 50,000 participants?

Reuters collaborating the same point

I think you mean corroborating

I don’t even understand how a boycott would be illegal. It’s illegal to not buy products from a certain company? How can you tell if a person is not buying because they’re boycotting or because they never had the intention of buying in the first place?

that handbrake start is utterly useles

In my native country that was a requirement for the driving test.

Your bike has automatic transmission?

Private company banning hate speech: “omg, what about my free speech?”

Government banning use of certain words and calling protests illegal: “finally rooting out waste, fraud and abuse!”

I understand what he is saying. It kinda looks like one at first glance, because contributions from current workers go first to pay current retirees.

But that’s how private insurance and retirement plans work too. The only difference is that private ones also benefit some rich CEOs at the top who have a vested interest to not distribute the funds.
