Typically about a week of fireworks going off at all hours, one good show of fireworks at the local park, and dinner with my parents. Usually they’re hosting a party but not this time around.
I’ve never been particularly nationalistic enough to celebrate much more than that.
Discs were already kinda starting to push their limits as far as their storage capacity on a single disc, it wouldn’t.be profitable with modern AAA games for much longer anyway IMO. 100GB bluray would be like 10-20 bucks on the raw disc alone IIRC
Keep a towel in a bucket of ice water, wrapped around the neck, does wonders for the heat. Or just keep a wet towel in your freezer for like 30 minutes.
Hmmm… torn between rye and pumpernickel, imma go with pumpernickel.
Cheese imma go with Manchego, love me some sheeps milk cheese
No panic quite like struggling to remove a buttplug that’s a bit bigger than expected.
Start small, folks.
Prognar?!
Vibe coding (in a different font)
Weird Science by Oingo Boingo, in the middle of a grocery store i worked at for several years and had never (not ONCE) heard any variation in the music playlist.
I feel like there’s a 50/50 he’s ex military and knows the NATO phonetic alphabet though
Pancakes are pretty great
Be willing to burn bridges. Some people really do need to be told to fuck off.
Cellular typically uses a separate antenna than wifi, on a smartphone i imagine they’re directly on the wireless chip instead of a daughter-board? Laptops and bigger stuff usually routes the antenna wires to the back of the lid, behind the screen, im more used to that
Nah. Rip out the antennae assembly. The phone might be a bit complain-y about it (or fail some kind of pre-boot check and not boot)? never done it to find out though.
Functionally, AFAIK there’s nothing really stopping older devices from being updated to use e-sim. They work just fine for emergency service calls, the little chip doesn’t matter that much to the underlying hardware
We can’t even get reliable broadband across the full US yet (Hughesnet still somehow has customers), i don’t see consumer-VDI being especially popular any time soon.
Future proofing and/or “retiring” the computer to home server duty when its time to build again (thats what im telling myself at any rate)
Edit: plus i have heard that DDR5 has issues with more than 2 sticks of RAM. Not sure the specifics though
I sure don’t remember as i was like, 11 at the time 😜
I do remember watching through south park much later though. Its usually bad if you’re a character multiple times in south park 🤣
Id help crucify the bodies for display on TV.
