I was working with the education division about a decade and a bit ago when they had an open source platform with sensors and motors. Then iRobot abruptly killed that division too, right as our project was getting going.

I haven’t felt good about that company since.

They can keep Toledo now that they’ve ruined it, but it’s clearly a chunk out of Michigan if you look at the maps.

Fucking Ohio. Except Cedar Point maybe, haven’t be there in 15 years though, it might suck now too.

It wasn’t as long when I fist saw it, but I don’t know if it got longer than this as I moved away years ago.

Some people just want to watch the nerds squirm.

This guy used to live near me:

Corgi owners know this is bullshit.

Gonna have to be quickies until you’re acclimated I’d assume.

Or local mountains are all under 5000 feet, so tough to test out.

Read that as pisstake, been watching too much British comedy lately I think.

Would have been even better if it was a Chevy Lumina

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!

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).
