GeForce 256 on my first Windows computer when I went to college. Before that, I was using motherboard graphics on a series of Macs growing up.

Interesting use of terms. In Discworld Dwarven society, being lowborn would be a good thing and while being high born is only one step below surface dweller. The dwarves are ruled by the Low King (or Queen). The lower you are, the deeper you are in the mine, and the more rich and important you must be.

No one’s said pineapple yet? Hawaiian is a staple pizza variety.

It didn’t matter what the question was, Trump kept turning it back to immigration. He’s only got one talking point, and it’s based on fear of the other.

I swear the people in unit 402 are illegally subletting their place on AirBnB.

There’s always good old Discord, you just need WiFi.

Barbecue sauce

I don’t think it’s going to happen that way. Body cams are needed if you want to record people working in the field, such as police officers, but for people working at a fixed location, an office or factory or what have you, CCTV cameras are cheaper, less intrusive, and harder for a bad actor to screw with by “accidentally” covering their lens or forgetting to turn their unit on.

I am so sad this was Kevin Conroy’s final time voicing Batman. The man deserved to go out on a high note.

We used unused punchcards to make flashcards in elementary school in the late 80’s / early 90’s. I guess the county bought a bunch and had to find another use.

And now I realize the primary definition of flashcard has changed since then, from study aid to digital storage.

A three digit xkcd, that one has been around a while.

The needless gaps are there for touchscreen optimization, even on things you never use a touchscreen on, like a desktop OS.

The Into the Spider-Verse trailer avoids the plot twists and reveals while showing off their new animation style. I think there’s one or two lines and scenes in the trailer that didn’t make the movie itself, I don’t remember Miles and Peter sitting on a subway bench having a conversation. (It may have been a red herring, to avoid showing the actual scene with additional characters.)

I hadn’t heard the Mac story before. I wonder if it’s legit, as I don’t think the Mac, or the Lisa before it, ever had the equivalent of a My Computer icon. Disks appear directly on the desktop; dragging a disk to the trash can ejects it if its removable media, and the only type of disk the original Mac had was a 400KB single-sided 3.5” floppy drive.

The player clicked on the Builder button, then clicked on me, so now I build a staircase into the sky.

Modern browsers have dropped support for the marquee tag, so you’ll have to reimplement it in JavaScript.

Not a film, but there’s a DC animated short where Mark Hamill voices every character.

You misunderstand. HTTP 502 means the server is running on an old Gateway computer, and its capacitors are starting to go.

Related question is when does the government celebrate your birthday. Sure, you can go apply for your drivers license on your 16th birthday on February 29, but your 18th and 21st birthdays aren’t on leap years. When can you get your first legal drink? (I’m assuming March 1st, as the bars don’t want to risk serving you a day early.)

Batman gives you so many options.

“It doesn’t mean I don’t care anymore. I don’t want to let you down, honest, but… but it just doesn’t hurt so bad anymore. You can understand that, can’t you? Look, I can give money to the city - they can hire more cops. Let someone else take the risk, but it’s different now! Please! I need it to be different now. I know I made a promise, but I didn’t see this coming. I didn’t count on being happy. Please! Tell me that it’s okay.”

“Think about it - a world where there’s no crime, no victims, no pain.”

“And no choice. Who elected you, anyway?”

“Who elected you? The problem with democracy is, it doesn’t keep you very safe.”

“It has other virtues. But you seem to have forgotten them.”

“I didn’t forget! I just chose peace and security instead.”

“You grabbed power!”

“And with that power, we’ve made a world where no eight-year-old boy will ever lose his parents because of some punk with a gun!”

*Batman drops his batarang; it clatters to the ground*

“You win.”
