I see your survivor bias and raise you my value engineering.

I90 (mass pike still I think) west of the i84 split is the longest gap in the state I think.

There might be a couple stretches in Ohio, but this isn’t one. There’s a spotin Massachusetts that’s like 60 miles round trip if you miss the exit, and it’s a tiny state!

That one’s weird though, because they cherry pick the parts they like. So it’s a weird Baptist/catholic/born again bullshit.

DRY, but also pre-optimization and dependency hell are bad.

Yup the real 1984 is all corpo-advertising driven.

Well, that and wannabe fascists.

Maybe they have an old school 20gpf swirly boy.

Chives grow like weeds and whenever you need some just go out in the yard with scissors and give them a haircut. They grow back in a week or two, unless they’re under a foot or two of snow 6 months of the year. Which is where my farming desires end.

A specific event in 2001 first triggered the growth, then a couple of jackass presidents made it worse.

Browser too, and the whole activeX, and DirectX api system to practically force windows only development.

Yup 5-6 floppies and if one failed you could try to go back and copy one, but usually had to start over.

I got the Mac copy of Photoshop 4 from my high school this way with .sit files. It was like second to last floppy that failed (probably an ok AOL disk) and I had to go back the next day and copy it again. But it worked!

Not long after that a friend of mine got a ZIP drive, but it wasn’t SCSI, so it didn’t work with my computer. I didn’t get one until college (essential for a graphic designer in the late 90s).

If you can find a playlist of videos you can download whole lists with ytdlp.

Yokohama have notoriously short lifespans (Subarus come with them). We’re over 70k miles on Michelins defenders on a Crosstrek. The last 4-5 years we didn’t even switch to snow tires in winter (hasn’t been enough snow).

I think KEKA.app supports split archives. Haven’t used it in a while though.

The error correction isn’t enough to overcome a bad background?

My memories of the early days of designing these things for ad clients (we’re talking 2010-11) were that like 20% “damage” was allowed before scanning became difficult. So of course my art director wanted to put cutesy shit all over them to be “unique”.

I just didn’t want the client to ask when it didn’t work because their phones didn’t like them.

I took German in highschool, but all that’s left is: Darf ich aufs Klo gehen?

That is still unparalleled with CUDA.

I still don’t understand how an open source alternative with better hardware support hasn’t happened yet.

A whole bunch of the companies that boomed died though.

Anyone remember bigwords.com? Or pets.com?

Could be his dad for now old it is, but now I’m wondering if this is where he got his hair style from.

Or breaks a year later and your have to figure out what the fuck you made. The worst thing in the world is when you leave it for the next guy, and you end up being the next guy.
