I remember my thoughts and feelings at 15, when I had no responsibilities, no understanding of how the world works, no awareness of my own flaws, and yet I knew everything. It was a blissful existence.

When I was a Catholic school kid we had a joke, how do you know the pope isn’t gay? Because he wouldn’t wear THAT robe with THOSE shoes!

Coming soon: Everyflavor Eucharist.

Alas, earwax.

Is it gluten free?

IMO recent US events are fairly solid evidence that we’re in a simulation, and somebody is fucking with us.

So - that’s why it hurts so hard to get hit by one!

ASCII art is the best art

LOL put a ginormous bowl on your porch with a sign in it that says RING BELL FOR CANDY

When I think back to when I marveled that one of our office’s 8Gb nightly backup tapes fit in my shirt pocket - EIGHT GIGABYTES - in my POCKET!!!…

In the future Gen ┐ will whine to their parents that their cerebral implant is only 100 terabytes.

But there’s so much room for ACTIVITIES!!!

Dunno how that’s relevant but thanks - LOLOL worth the watch.

FoxOS - coming soon?

Speaking of a chromebook experience, installing ChromeOS Flex on my wife’s slow, outdated Surface Pro made it sleek and fast again. Can you suggest a Linux distro that would be similar on old laptops?

As a retired software dev, for me Windows is simply a longtime habit enforced by past work environments. I did use Linux for over a year on my main PC but went back to Windows so I could keep using my old copy of Visual Studio. My deeply conditioned shortcut keystrokes didn’t work in VSCode - in fact, why did they change so much of the UI? But now that I’m used to VSCode, which I only use for hobby coding anyway, there’s no excuse and I intend to go back to Linux by year end.

Had to look this up. Dr. Pepper was formulated in Waco Texas by a pharmacist named Charles Alderton, for the soda fountain in the drugstore where he worked. Some say his employer, Wade Morrison, named it after a Dr. Charles Pepper, the father of an old girlfriend. But the Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco has been unable to confirm this story.

My mom told me Dr. Pepper was made from prune juice, which I guess is party true about the original formula.

…or that Dr. Pepper’s degree might be in herpetology or Renaissance literature.

Frequent thrift shopper, I’ve noticed prices going so high I wonder if they know what “thrift store” means anymore.
