Patron: Excuse me, what aisle could I find content on ‘god’s fury’?

Worker: That would be aisle 6.

Patron: oh, excuse me. I misspoke. What aisle could I find content on ‘furry gods’?

Worker: Oh, no worries! That would be aisle 8.

How did PCs beat out the Amiga, Mac and ST with nonsense like that?

I think you can ultimately blame Compaq. It was the first “pc clone” that showed the market that a PC not from expensive IBM was viable. After that even if you weren’t buying a Compaq your own generic clone was “good enough”. So You could access hardware and software built for a $4000 8088 IBM PC with your $1200 clone.

Amiga never was commodity hardware. It was always expensive. It didn’t get cheap enough fast enough. Amiga 500 came too late.

The ability to call out BS or contradictory requirements in a job posting.

Now you have to make a giant guitar for him too.

That’s exactly what he’d expect now. Subvert expectations! Make a tiny guitar!

There’s a luthier reading this post now exclaiming “Tiny guitar!? Absolute madness! We’re through the looking glass here, people”.

You can even see the stylized product icon with the simple facial features with the little square mustache. People in that timeline unironically refer to that CI tool as “The Final Solution” in CI.

You could accomplish what you’re trying by putting the GPU in a second computer. Further, most UPSes have a data interface, so that you could have the GPU computer plugged into the UPS too, but receive the signal when power is out, so it can save its work and shutdown quickly preserving power in the UPS batteries. The only concern there would be the max current output of the UPS in the event of a power outage being able to power both computers for a short time.

There are people that hold specific definitions of the term “vegan”. If you never use the word, you can never run afoul of anyone’s definition.

That’s interesting! I also wonder if its a legal shielding technique to abandon the “vegan” label in case one of their upstream suppliers changes without notifying the manufacturer. If you never claim it to be vegan, you’ve in no danger of violation.

You need to do one of those force perspective photos making the giant watch look small. Give him the photo first.

Lost technology of the ancients allowed them to make churros the size of city buses. Even with today’s most advanced science, we lack this ability.

Fake alternate headline:

“…and finally we had a weapon capable of take the fight to the Zentradi.”

There were two (firmware?) releases of the Dreamcast keyboard. The first release would allow TWO KEYBOARDS to be used with the game. The later release keyboard would only allow a single keyboard to be active at a time. It was a lot of fun yelling at your teammate to type faster, which of course made both players more flustered and do poorly.

I surprisingly good game! I also learned that my touch typing was decent, but not when zombie mobs are attacking me.

In Ohio this costs an average residential electricity customer $95/year they have to pay extra on top of their electrical bill.

Nuclear should be ran until EOL, then ideally built back up again

Arguably it has in Ohio. In 2002 a football sized hole was discovered in the top of pressure vessel eaten away by the caustic cooling water:

They bought a replacement from a mothballed nuke plant.

The plant was supposed to be EOL in 2017, but was extended to 2037.

At the same time Republican lawmakers in Ohio gave oil and gas companies full control over where wells are place, but put rules in allowing the blocking of solar and wind installations. source

Nuclear should be ran until EOL,

then ideally built back up again

That can delay things, but ultimately it will be the US against the rest of the world and no amount of subsidies will be able to offset that.

Coal and nuke power company provider First Energy straight up bribed the Ohio Speaker of the house with $61 million to get legislation passed to force residential electricity customers to pay extra fees to subsidize unprofitable coal and nuclear power in the state. The former Speaker is in prison now. The extra fees are still being paid by customers even today. source

If he was in office that long, your local historical society may be interested in that matchbook.

Don’t keep us in suspense, who won the election?!
