Quebec is where I learned to channel Peggy Hill if someone tries to force me to speak French. Maintenant, Repeté!
Jay parlay Fran-says tray bee-in. Jay-tude en laycole, quart ans.
About that time they switch to English, and beg me to never attempt to speak French again
Lol.
J’comprend Français, bien. J’parle Français un peu.
You missed the banks tripping over themselves to find a COBOL programmer. My father makes stupid amounts of money (read, $400-$1600 per hour) maintaining bank COBOL systems. My father is in his 70s.
COBOL is almost as much of a PITA as Lisp, but no one, not even the US Military that developed Lisp will pay the really big bucks to maintain it.
I have to agree. The Macintosh 128k didn’t even have an internal HDD. Everything was run on 3.5" floppies. Heck they may have invented the 3.5" floppy, idk. As you said, dragging the system dick icon to the trash on a 128k was literally the easiest way to eject the disk.
My father still owns one, that may actually work. He also got 2 extra external floppy drives for the thing. He also has an Apple ]|[
Ah, so that was what that comic was about. I remember seeing it before, and those memories were confused about what was happening.
Edit: Oh my. Yes I can see how this would drive one crazy, especially if you didn’t manage to complete this eternal series of quick time events.
Not the lemming you asked, but as far as I can tell the issue is that due to the unregulatable nature of blockchain, scammers like SBF are almost an inevitability with the tech as long as we are trying to use it to make money out of thin air. In the long term this will only further erode public trust of new technologies.
Nah. All police boil down to the state having an exclusive right to enforce their whims with violence, and protecting the oppressive class, by using violence on the oppressed. I’ve yet to see a country where this isn’t the case. The US cops are just better armed than most other cops, so they make the news for their state sanctioned crimes more often.
Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂
