Yes. Wordperfect was the favorite of lawyers for a long time.

True. But it was my first time in Europe so I wanted the experience. If I go again I will probably fly.

This summer I took a DB train from Amsterdam to Berlin. Being from the midwest USA, I didn't have a lot of experience with trains so I bought a first class ticket. The air and power in my car weren't working. There was no beverage car or service so we sat sweating to death. After a couple hours they gave in and told us to go to another car. Then at the next stop someone got on and yelled at me because I was in his assigned seat.

Fox news.

For me, it isn't about not liking the story, but about having to watch a movie when I want to play a game. Don't show it to me. Let me do it.

All things considered, this is a pretty mild pun. It isn't making fun of his name or replacing it with a slur or something.

For this, it is pretty legit since it is old. What is thought to be driven by money laundering is people paying crazy amounts of money for graded VHS movies or NES games.

My conspiracy theory: Microsoft knew the Steam Machine was coming and decided to get out of the console market.

Where did they lie? Someone posted some benchmarks. They reported on the appearance of benchmarks that indicate a new chip. Being wrong is not lying.

My friends from Poland adopted a female cat named Sasha and were adamant that Sasha was a male name.

I thought "is there one of those popups covering things and greying out the page until you close it?"

This is getting to the antivirus bundle level of adding pointless features. I want grammarly to... check my grammar. I don't want it to write for me or suggest things.

I enjoy If Books Could Kill and I used to like You're Wrong About when Michael was on it. However, I have found on If Books Could Kill that they sometimes take the least charitable interpretation of something to ridicule it when a more charitable interpretation might find that there is more nuance than they are presenting.

I haven't listened to Maintenance Phase because it isn't really a topic that I'm all that interested in.

If they thought the product was toast why would they bother updating the processor? It isn't like they update the processor in the mac pro regularly or anything.

I'm glad you posted. When I hear masking described like it is in this simulator: "To keep your job and avoid conflict, you must "mask." Masking means hiding your natural habits and feelings, while imitating the social behaviors that coworkers expect.", I always think, "isn't that just life?" If I didn't hide my natural habits I wouldn't be going to work at all. If I didn't hide my feelings I would yell at the person in the office next to me for listening to some webinar through their computer speakers and their door open. If I didn't imitate the social behaviors that coworkers expect I wouldn't wish the person I barely know happy birthday.

"A PM appears at your desk with an urgent ask that lacks acceptance criteria. "

I don't know what this means and I don't understand the first choice: Open a template and force crisp AC: "Given/When/Then"

Fedex is the worst. I live in a house with a wooden fence all around. The sidewalk goes to the gate to get to the front door. Once fedex delivered something to my back deck where there is no sidewalk.

My parents live in a rural area. Two story house with a clear front and back door. Fedex decided to deliver a package by putting it on the storm cellar door on the side of the house.

Whenever I see people say Indiana is flat and boring I know they haven't been south of I-70.

I bugged me too. I'm from Southern Indiana and when I hear people say "Indiana is flat" or "Indiana is boring to look at" all I hear them say is "I've only been to the Northern part of Indiana."

There is a lot to shit on Indiana for but its natural beauty isn't one of them.

I agree. However, I will say that I always thought that Southern Indiana and Southern Ohio were more similar than Southern Indiana and Northern Indiana.

About 5 years ago I was teaching a college class how to format something and I said, "then you just hit return" and most of the class didn't know what "return" was.

Exactly. Isn't it strange that the Queen of England, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia ALL died on the same day? WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!

I was an English major and Math minor in the 90s and I used them for one class - a history general studies requirement. All the essay tests in my other classes were on letter sized paper with blank space for us to write in.

jeepathon2k was peak CS.

Seriously though, I miss the VIP and hostage rescue modes. I guess hostage rescue is still there but hardly played.

It was totally in my library when I was in high school in the late 80s but I was in a small school in the midwest.

I'm not a programmer but I have some stuff I want to do with python. So what I've found useful is taking the output of one LLM, Claude for instance, and giving it to another, Gemini for example, and writing "this is what claude thinks. Evaluate it..." Then if I have to I will take that result back to the first LLM and ask it to evaluate it.

It might just be in my head but it seems like they are a lot more critical that way than if I suggest something. ...Or maybe all of my suggestions really are great...

Wikipedia says it was first marketed only 3 years earlier so it was pretty new https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(methyl_methacrylate)

It will never happen. It is easier to cut budget than to raise it. It is easier to cut taxes than it is to raise them on the rich.

Not bending the knee to Trump.
