Container for smaller objects.

IEC C13 socket with C14 locking plugs. Already ubiquitous in data center facilities. Rated for voltages between 110 and 250, so it works for any country’s common household current.

Tools you’re not sure you’ll need. Harbor Freight tools are super cheap and flimsy, but may be the right choice if you’re not using them often.

If you find yourself using a cheap tool all the time and hating the quality of it, then it’s time to buy something better.

Text-based search apps like protocols like gopher, WAIS, and Usenet.

Two main innovations of the web:

• lightweight yet easily understood data transfer protocol, HTTP
• language blending graphical elements with traditional text, HTML

Science exists to figure out what really, actually does work. Smart people were still figuring that out at the turn of the last century.

Most smart people have figured it out now. Dumb people are still not testing their ideas.

Tbh most of the time I’m using my Wintendo, but Linux is better imo for dev. PyCharm is a nice IDE, and all the Linux tools I love like vim are there and fully functional.

Banner ads, not for a long long time, at least not intentionally.

Last week I needed parts for my snowblower, and Amazon was not helpful finding what I needed, so I googled the info I had. A competitor’s ad appeared as the first result. I was skeptical as hell as I clicked on it - my experience has always been similar to yours - but they had a comprehensive, easy-to-use database of parts, with diagrams, part numbers, in-stock notes, and cost all on the same page. No hacky website, just the right information presented well. Wound up giving them the business.

I guess not everyone is a rabid, cheating, lying SOB. Just many people. Lol

The only two risks stopping humans from waging nuclear war is A> the likelihood that the humans who start it would lose power over their people and B> cleanup of affected territory is incredibly expensive.

FUN IS HEREBY OUTLAWED FOR PURPOSE OF GREAT SOVI^WRUSSIAN TRIUMPH

Anything that maximizes embarrassment or cringe. Can’t watch most Will Ferrell or Borat. Ugh, it makes me so uncomfortable.

Commodore VIC-20 with a tape drive, modem, and terminal software. My father used it to take distance learning classes from the local community college, learning COBOL of all things, back in 1982. He unfortunately never went anywhere with programming. I used it way more than he did to write my first programs in BASIC. I was 5 years old.

Now I build and run MPLS networks, code in 5 other languages, play lots of video games, etc.

Space Engineers in dev mode also permits player coded behavior. The player may write scripts in C# and apply them to game objects. Scripts run in a sandboxed .NET environment.

Robot Odyssey, an adventure game played by programming robots to help you. Still nothing like it.

Thou shalt not partake of decaf

Thou shalt not have no idea

Thou shalt always go for greatness

Thou shalt not commit adulthood

Thou shalt not suppress flatulence

Nothing more pathetic than a country that forgot its own history.

Joining new social media platforms. What a colossal mistake that was. The most relentless self-promotion, with-us-or-against-us mentality, quibbling over absolute nonsense, and the most banal overshares imaginable.

ABQ is not quite Wild West, but you do need to watch yourself there. Good farmers’ market and plenty of Native influence.

Columbus downtown seemed like a nice Midwestern spot, touch of Rust Belt, heavy on Buckeye mania of course. Seemed really quiet when I visited many summers ago.

Have you considered Chicago? Boystown is a great neighborhood. Kinda wished I’d lived there even though I’m not LGBTQ. I think it’s still relatively low crime. But I’m sure you’ll want to do (or have done) your own homework on that.
