I got my first extra hour the day after I was born.

Edit: I was wrong, it turns out there was no DST in my country when I was born. So I definitely banked it.

I don’t think I’ve ever owned any version of Windows.

I read earlier “someone” were a couple of college students.

Haarlem is not a suburb but it’s own city, it is actually the capital of the North-Holland province.

That article literally says the other one is what New Zealand is named after.

Companies only do things for their bottom line, not for customer demand. Also, if nobody would buy gas from Shell anymore, their gas stations would just have to be rebranded to something else. Behind the scenes the oil companies are all trading with each other.

People from south America aren’t Americans then?

How the fuck is this country even still standing at this point with this chicanery and buffoonery at the reigns?

Because it’s basically the same everywhere?

In the Netherlands we now also have a “terugleveringstoeslag” where you have to pay a monthly fee based on the maximum peak power delivered to the grid over the year. At least, the bigger electrical companies already have it, the rest will soon follow. My coworker (who has way too many solar panels installed) got a letter from Essent that he had to pay 67 euros monthly starting October. So he switched companies, but he’ll have to figure out something else next time.

The whole COVID made the kids dumb is just the newest excuse in a long line. Before that it were phones, computers, calculators and probably a lot more. My kids are from the new generation, and they’re doing just fine.

Same here, gets you an adequate phone which will last me at least 3 to 4 years. (I usually have to buy new because I broke the old one through my own fault)

I’ve been around for 48 years, and while I have fucked around quite a bit, I have found out very little. One of my clowns isn’t doing the job right.

Fun fact about being 48; I’m turning 50 next year, which sounds a lot. But I only feel old-ish when mentioning my age.

A heart attack where you have almost zero loss of heart funtion afterwards. Also, no loss of consciousness, just feeling really bad for an hour.

48 here. Had a minor heart attack earlier this year, so sometimes I’m starting to feel old.

You should add Uri Tuchmann to your list if you haven’t already.

Odroid has some nice boards, though I find them pricey.

Depends of your view of a long history I guess, I worked with OSX 10.5 for a few years, every time I wanted to install something I had to update the OS first.

I don’t think it’s Giant Salvinia, looks more like a floating mat to me.

My actual opnion is that they don’t want to think if they should, because they know the answer. The pressure to go public with a shitty model outweighs the responsibility to the people relying on the search results.
