watching Gilligan's Island, you find yourself ignoring Ginger and Maryann while being strangely attracted to Mrs. Howell.

Hears of Fortnite.  Then remembers playing Commander Keen 4 at a friends house and gushing over the awesome graphics.  Before I had even heard of 'the internet' or Doom.

We rented out an airbnb not too long ago, and I was trying to set up a Nintendo switch on the Smart TV and for the life of me could not figure out how to do it...



this is coming from someone who considers themselves pretty tech savy (built my own computers, installed windows/format comp, tech supp for a lot of family members etc.)



Such artisan, many caps, very keyboard.

Always searching for Bro caps!

attracted to Mrs. Howell.


That's just sick. I entered puberty just about the time Gilligan's Island went on the air, and while I never cared about Ginger, Mary Ann was a real schoolboy's fantasy.
It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest. He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks.
Those disqualifying characteristics are compounded by everything else that limits his ability to fulfill the duties of the president: his many criminal charges, his advancing age, his fundamental lack of interest in policy and his increasingly bizarre cast of associates.

There's a lot to be said about experience.

You see a thread like this and the first thing you think of saying is that it should be "you're".
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
