I thought they didn’t block political figures… Guess the muskrat just meant the figures he agrees with…

Well, you did just describe my experience with diet Pepsi pretty well…

Probably more because of how easy it is to drink than raw strength… It’s way easier to put away a bunch of 70 proof sweetened liqueur than the same amount of alcohol worth of 80+ proof hard liquor, very easy to not realize how much you’ve had until way too late

I’m pretty sure that’s regular Coke zero, unless they’ve changed the packaging again

But yeah, something about the artificial sweetener just doesn’t work with alcohol

And then Biff Tannen was elected US president

Yes, but which new one should I use?

Nevermind, I’m sure they’ll both be plenty broken

I mean, I’m pretty sure he could get one quickly… He’s got plenty of money from all the bribes he’s been soliciting…

Yeah, Ma Bell breaking up into the Baby Bells is the only real example I can think of, and even they came back together later (though, by then, there was enough diversity in the market that they couldn’t reclaim the level of market dominance they once had)

That’s what I’ve heard… Getting real tired of people building great products only for corpos to find a way to make it terrible for an extra buck

To the new system you’re migrating to

Well, I had been considering one, but I guess not

I’ve been using it off and on for over twenty years and it’s never needed more than running the installer to get it working on Windows in that time…

You should totally do that, I think she’d appreciate it

Also, I’ve never sewn but I knit sometimes, and crafting takes a lot of time and energy, especially for pieces of clothing that cover more than a head, hand, or foot… It’s a lot to ask a kid to appreciate that, but it still feels like a slap in the face to have something you’ve poured so much effort and time and love into be treated like that. I’m glad you ultimately realized that.

Your mom sounds awesome; raising kids under any circumstances is hard, and while poor is just…I don’t even know how people manage it

I may be off base but I think that might be referencing what the computer chips are made of…

For me it was AOL chat rooms and Star Trek role play that got my typing speed up, later followed by wow when voice chat was uncommon and communicating during a dungeon or raid required typing fast to not interrupt what you needed to do

As the old Microsoft saying went, “it ain’t done til Notes don’t run”

It really is about the best settings app I’ve ever used, especially where it highlights the settings that have been changed from defaults

What does the login screen have to do with mobile? They’ve had them since at least Windows 95 (I forget if 3.1 had one), and they’ve been evolving every release.

If you mean the screen before the login, that’s been around since at least Windows 95 too, though it didn’t used to be default and required you to press Ctrl+alt+del to dismiss (which before win95 would reboot your computer)

Just taking a guess here but the controller was probably brought up as evidence for how much they were cutting corners and disregarding safety and good sense, not as the cause of the failure

This is what happens from only reading the title and making assumptions…
