Start selling cheaper ones. The day a sub $20,000 EV comes along that can do more than 150 miles on a charge you will all shut up and take my money. I don't need fancy features, I just need something that can get me to work and back with a bit of wiggle room and never have to pay for gas again. 150 miles would be more than sufficient, but 200 would be PERFECT. Leaf and Bolt are close, can we get something a little cheaper, pretty please?

The rule is, if you dress up you get candy. I don't care how old you are, but you have to be dressed up.

Of all the things I can criticize about Trump, the type of laptop his lawyer for this week is using is far down on that list.

Only thing I used it for was when older versions of Notepad couldn't handle larger text files. Now it can. So, no loss to me. Notepad going away would suck, that does at least get occasional use although Notepad++ is far superior.

Finally? It's cost more than cable in my area for some time now. I gave up on pirating almost completely when it was just Netflix and Hulu. Now every single network has their own streaming service and they all charge a premium.... sorry guys, back to flying the Jolly Roger for me.

150 more warnings than a regular car would give, ultimately it's the driver's fault.

Yep, on Smart TV devices there's a startup tune.

An air fryer, my microwave has been gathering dust ever since.

Dead CMOS, or the boot order was wrong and they didn't know how to fix it would be my guess.

Don't do that, study harder and try again.

In 1998 my friend asked me to set up an IRC server for him. He needed it for his job and knew I had done it before so asked for a favor. An afternoon’s work. His boss was impressed, and offered me a job. My first IT job.

Hung around on that server to keep an eye on things until the customer could take over, then made friends so just made it my home server. Ended up meeting my wife on there a few months later. A year after that, I immigrated to the US. Used the experience gained from that job to get a career here. Still here 23 years later.

Afternoon’s work changed my whole life.
