I keep buying motorolas because they’re rugged as fuck. I get a new one every 3-5 years. They’re all the same-ish these days, and rarely come with any sort of incentive or discount, so it doesn’t make sense to refesh too often. I try to get my money’s worth from my devices.

Can’t tell you how many samsungs my kids have broken, but both of their motos still work.

Every single one of my machines is set up to run metric so I don’t have to constantly convert 64’s and 8’s and thou’s fractional units between denominators, which is exactly why I’d rather type .0254mm than 1/1000. I absolutely cannot stand using different fractional denominators or that a foot is divided by 12, but everything else isn’t. You’ve probably used it for years and are used to it, but approaching it with a rational mind seems like unnecessary work and risk of miscalculation.

Every number I use can easily be interchanged for another unit.

I really want everyone to use the metric system. Imperial is just awful to use for most design and machine purposes.

5. I’d fit right in in more ways than one.

What happened to charging your device? We’re going backwards here…

I need to go squatchin’ with Mulder

This. NTFS is still the gold standard for stability. ReFS is meant for data ops, and while it’s fairly stable, and offers a lot of advantages, it’s not perfect and can suffer greatly if used incorrectly. Until the quirks are gone, users are probably better off with NTFS for a lot of reasons.

Since when does the pentagon tell everyone their plans before doing them

oh right, never

My kids used to call the play place with all of the inflatable bounce houses “the bouncy store”.

My eldest couldn’t remember the name for bagpipes and called them “autotuned hornbags” which is one of my favorites, and I still use it.

In relation to mario kart, we had no idea what the superhorn was called, we always called in “The Honkerbanger”. Likewise we didn’t understand what the drafting sprites were in MK on the wii, it looked like the person in front of you was sweating big droplets of water. We’d say we were “getting sweat”.

On a similar note I’ll mention Dendrocnide moroides better known as the gympie gympie tree.

“Revoked a scientific finding” is as smart as saying “water not wet anymore”.

On my most recent new install of gimp a few weeks back, it now has a reopen last documents feature, and I think it does now cache your last open files in the event of a crash.

I’ve been using GIMP since the mid 2000’s as a replacement for Photoshop4/5 and it has always been a great tool. I haven’t ever really had any major stability issues with it.

Why would anyone believe he would deescalate something? Why would anyone believe anything he says?

I live on the edge of the soda / pop line in western NY. I grew up firmly in soda land, and that’s what I call it.

What is pop? That’s your daddy. Or music. Or goes the weasel. Certainly not your beverage, man.

At least we don’t call everything coke, I guess.

SOMA is the bomb. I came here to post this.

We observed the higgs boson just 20-ish days off of the maya’s predicted date for 2012 if you factor in leap years, which they did not account for.

They somehow knew we were going to observe quantum phenomena and collapse realities around this point in history. We broke something by observing the state of that particle.

I explicitly recall kid rock saying he was going to stay out of NY because we’re too woke.

SO STAY THE FUCK OUT OF NY ALREADY.

You too, creed. You were garbage before, and partnering with maga garbage only makes it worse.
