Silicon Valley also makes fun of nerds, but it’s for nerds. BBT just made nerds the butt of the joke.

Get another carrot and when they come home just start chompping down on it nonchalantly. Total power move to establish your dominance.

Milk is weird. I don’t think any other mammals drink it after childhood, or from other animals.

We still have coffee and creamer, but it’s the worst shit imaginable, just burnt beans and powdered creamer. I was pissed when I went to our HQ in another state, which is smaller than our site and they had a good brand from my city and multiple real creamers. They had a free soda fountain too which we don’t have, but I’m trying to cut that shit outta my life so that’s probably for the best.

So glad I live 5 minutes from work and can go home for lunch. Mostly it’s to see the dog but it’s also nice not worrying about this crap.

I only ever use our group’s mini fridge in our cubicle for a seltzer I drink at the end of the day. Even that is a chaotic fridge filled with rotting food and too many condiments and creamers. I just put a can in to cool in the morning and take it out to drink by the end of the day.

I think in my dreams I already know who they are whether it’s someone I know IRL or it’s someone completely imaginary.

Having two butters to manage seems like a lot of work.

At least it wasn’t meth lite. That shit is nasty.

Well space travel does require some “tasty treats.”

You certainly wouldn’t be in any danger.

I think my dad was pretty up on stuff at the time and saw all the issues the Adam was having. That and Andy Warhol/Lou Reed Amiga ads.

Oh no. My parents had intended to get an Adam but went with an Amiga. We did have a coleco vision though.

My family’s first computer was an Amiga 1000. The office was across from the bathroom and my dad would type in stories for it to speak while I played in the bathtub. Good times.

My first computer was some random 386? my dad found in the trash. I think the power supply was dead and all that needed replacing. Who ever threw it out left a HDD full of cga dos games for me to explore. Only one I remember liking was elite, which I played the crap out of. Felt cool to be the only kid in town with their own PC in the mid 90s.

I do use it, probably one shoot or so a month. out of every 100 pictures I probably have one great one and 10 others that would be good with editing but I never go back and edit them. A phone is probably better for most people most of the time but there are definitely cases where it wont do the job.

I initially bought it when I worked over night shifts and wanted a night time hobby on the weekends, so I wanted to do deep space photography. I finally got on days soon after and am not up as late anymore so mostly take it on hikes, or birding and rarely around the city.

I rarely talk about it unless I show a picture that people ask “how’d you take that?” and I have to explain. I’ve bought a few lenses in 5 years but think I’m set on those. Maybe in another 5 years I’ll upgrade the body. For me it’s been a worthwhile investment.

Multiple backup computers. In fact I’m a bit peeved my oldest backup computer broke.

Yes dedicated cameras are still around. They aren’t going away anytime soon. I really like my Fuji camera.

Canon makes great optics and decent hardware but is pretty bad at everything else.

I use hpux everyday. Mostly it still runs what it needs to run and the hardware for the most part is a tank so you don’t have to think about it.

When it breaks it’s the most infuriating thing in the world. All the hardware is bespoke and obsolete, old unix is maddening coming from modern Linux, it’s a nightmare but kind of fun at the same time. My only hope that HP will open source it at the end of the year.

No, not right now but its still not the worst place to live. The administration is doing their best to make it the worst place though.

Maryland early 2000s. We had a real health teacher. It was pretty clinical and factual for the most part. The only thing that really stood out was the teacher telling us that peeing killed any sperm left in the urethra and a kid asking if he could “piss in his woman and not wear a condom.” This poor old teacher has to say “Do not piss in your woman.”

USA. 3 weeks vacation max out at 4, 1 week sick time, 1 week “personal time”. 10 holidays but we are running 24/7 so if you are scheduled to work you get time and a half those days plus 8 hours of extra pay. You get paid out any sick/personal time you don’t use but vacation days no longer roll over. I liked saving up 2 years of vacation and fucking off for two months.
