Opening line of Neuromancer doesn’t make much sense any more "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.”

It’s like a small pitcher with a movable filter, you put in the ground coffee, hit water, stir, wait, push down the filter with the grounds, pour off the coffee with most of the ground staying in the French press.

We have a perfectly functioning iPad1 (2?) and a somewhat younger Android tablet. There are no OS updates, you can’t install any new software, and on most cases even browsing is broken.

They moved from python?

What about Enkidu?

I’m shocked I had to scroll this far for the first fluxbox/Enlightenment/windowmaker user

Kerbal Space program wasn’t on the list, and maybe OpenTTD? The latter is also great when you have a random setup (the game is 10Mb, runs in anything and has zero needs) and have only 20 minutes to play.

I use that to annoy the same friend and send a random hedgehog fact in a text message from a random number.

“Despite their land-dwelling reputation, hedgehogs are good swimmers:they can swim across streams and ponds if necessary. Subscribe for more hedgehog facts!”

Skype is great when your flight is delayed, and you have some remaining cash in it from 15 years ago

That was two different things, I was checking if there are any fun offers there and found this one. I wouldn’t start my plumbing career in -40C

I guess poop needs to go somewhere, too

Knowing the Germans there is a slight chance somebody going to court because it was advertised as 1.5€/kg, and winning

This, I remember that some 20 years ago when going to the Antarctica for a PhD seemed like a good idea, I found a job where they were looking for a plumber. The pay was insane at that time
