Same here, but the last time I played Descent it was with a full Thrustmaster setup including throttle, pedals and CrystalEyes 3D shutter glasses on a 19" monitor... Good times... lots of headaches.. but good times.
First they came for kiddie porn, and I did not speak out -because I had no kiddie porn. Then they came for Pepe the frog memes. I did not speak out -because I was held in solitary confinement pending trial and successful completion of the re-education camp.
I'm convinced that the real target of targeted advertising is actually the ad buyers and not the ad viewers. It's a tool to increase the revenue of the ad sellers.
I used to think mind-boggling big was a bunch of hyperbole until I drove from Georgia to Washington State. I’ve flown across the US a few times and it seemed big but not mind-boggling big. I can’t imagine how much bigger the US would be on horseback or on foot, and I’m ok with that.
My high school experience is specifically one of the reasons I didn’t have kids. I wasn’t going to subject anyone to the shit I experienced in high school.
Same here, I still use svn on my 20 year old projects and haven't felt the need change. I use git for my newer projects but occasionally run into issues that cause me to have to search for a solution.
People have done worse for less. It may not be a significant fraction of Amazon’s income but it could be a significant fraction of a sellers income or a significant fraction of sales manager’s sales.
One of my recent projects was a robot using a LILYGO T-Display module running MicroPython. I'm going to use them in "Build a Drawbot" workshops at our local Makerspace. The previous version used an Arduno running TinyBasic. I think Python and Wifi capability will make it a little more accessible.
Let me tell you it is just as rough on the other end of the phone. "Yeah, I just got this email from somebody I don't know but it had an attachment I want to read. My anti-virus will not let me open it even after I disabled it. What is wrong with your email server? I even sent it to my laptop and Excel won't let me open it as well, what is wrong with your email server? Oh never mind it finally opened but it looks blank and now Outlook is acting weird, what is wrong with your email server?"
I was talking to my neighbors 10 year old son one day and the subject of computers came up. He told me they were started using Scratch at school but he's since moved on to Python because he "felt he was more of a Python guy." He enjoyed Scratch because he could do something and get results quickly. Once he got the hang of it, be got tired of the user interface and the teacher introduced him to python. I'll have to see what he thinks these days.
When my wife was without insurance we used GoodRX to drop the cost of her Propranolol to just under half of the cash price. Once she was eligible for insurance it was still cheaper to use GoodRX but the pharmacy refused and said she had to use her insurance or pay cash.
