I agree. I probably would’ve disagreed 15 years ago - 2001 hardware would’ve felt archaic by 2010.
Hardware made 10 years ago is, for the average person, likely good enough to get them through another decade, if the accompanying software was kept lean. But that kinda thinking doesn’t help bank accounts swell, does it…
Indeed, but unlike 11 it was still more OS than a bloated slop generator.
There’s a few hundred in there but they’re all at least 10 years old, and I never look at them.
Definitely mildly interesting. I had a similar experience recently, discovering my broken toys in the basement of my parent’s old house.
Survival of the fittest, but unfortunately for all things earthly, for a brief period of time the fittest inexplicably turned out to be an orange blob of shit, jeopardizing any further evolution for all species.
I celebrate Christmas in the sense that I get together with family for a good meal and exchange some gifts, but none of us spare a thought to baby jeebuz or any of that jazz.
Also, I’m Norwegian and I seem to recall that jule celebrations were a thing before christianity forced Thor & Co. to step aside.
Cool, may I suggest you kick things off by nuking Apple, Amazon, Google and Meta.
Units of measurement. Imagine if there was one universal way of measuring something, be it temperatures, weights, pressure…

Trakt + SeriesGuide.
Norwegian, Swedish, German, English, some French and maybe enough Spanish to survive a week or two.
“We can’t believe Apple aren’t fucking consumers harder! Apple?! have been fucking everyone so hard, for so long and people have just been bending over and taking it, and so we’re very shocked to see them decide not to go maximum fuck-you with this product”
For profit ambulance service… it just feels so fundamentally wrong, to me.
Uh oh, a citizen is having a medical emergency, time to make some fuckin’ money!
I think maybe I do!
It’s amazing what a national, professionally managed doping programme can do.
“Look how strong and healthy we are in our shit hole country” was the message.
I imagine them being forced to constantly run so close to each other can lead to a build up of frustrations that could eventually culminate in a duel. I’m not sure why the carwash would discourage people from breaking up a good wheel-fight, though.
I definitely think it’s less common, and my first thought is that it’s probably down to a general switch to less formal wear? My dad wore a heck of a lot more white shirts than I do.

Indeed, there’s a very noticeable anti-american sentiment among so many I talk to, these days.
E.g. a dude at work mentioned just the other day how he found it hard not to use youtube but he strived to at least not watch American channels. Also at work, ongoing discussions on how to best lessen dependency on US products/services, since orange made it clear we can’t depend on the US as a reliable partner and in turn nor the companies that call it home.
