But you try to tell the young people today that… and they won’t believe yah!

I just broke out into a cold sweat remembering trying to get wifi to function on my netbook back in 2k8.

Maybe a bunch of penguin stickers and one that says, “Ask me about Linux!”

Might hurt on date night, though.

We have plenty of bidets here in the States, they just install them outside the bathrooms and they mount them kind of high so they’re kinda awkward to get a good clean angle, though.

And yet, we still don’t have a phone that can pee on us. Engineers are so culture-deaf.

Cherry Coke had a promotional game called something like The Lost Island Of Alanna they gave out in the mid 90s. There was a little attack of them in the waiting room of the principles office at my school.

It was a pretty well done short Myst-like.

When you beat it the reward was a guide to read secret messages that were hidden in the squiggles that covered the cherry coke label at the time.

Imagine getting a haircut and a handy at the same time.

Bep bup! German Bot here!

“Das ist richtig” means “That is true”

Like and follow this bot so its creator may someday claw themselves out of the joyless pit they have dug themselves.

: pours one out for every dude that had a GF that lost herself to a Pinterest Interest wall: (or vice versa)

Quickly? Granted, it was over a decade ago, but it took 6-8 years for Myspace to die proper , by my recollection.

I still wish I could bop over there and check in on bands that probably imploded a decade ago.

This vibes with me, but fifteen years ago me.

Installed Ubuntu on my first netbook and had to sit in the stairs to the second floor jacked into the single Ethernet cable we had for a few hours to troubleshoot it.

I haven’t used every distro, but it seems like most of them are plug and play these days.

This post reminded me to take my meds.

Came here to say this. The large parks connected by tree lined boulevards is called the Emerald Necklace.

Chicago has an emerald necklace as well. Also millennium Park might for ops request.

I worked for a UK based fashion retail business and they always found it blushingly charming when I referred to what they called a 'bum bag ’ a ‘Fanny pack’.

Also, ‘Pardon me!’ Doesn’t mean excuse me in UK English. It’s more an excuse for if you do something disgusting that you are ashamed of, like if you fart or burp.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that was my take away the couple years I worked with British people.

Maybe it’s regional. I’ve worked at a number of independent bars and taverns in and around the Midwest and only one had Coca-Cola mix. The others all had “cola” by whatever distributor the owner sided with.

The one place that has real Coke had a bright red soda gun that literally said Coke on it, the others were just black and the button said Cola.

I don’t miss changing out those nasty, sticky boxes.

I think you may be thinking bigger chains wouldn’t order off brands, like Chili’s.

If you get a “xxxx and coke” at a bar chances are the mixer is an off brand like RC or something.
