Pffft I'm not even that old and I didn't start with PS/2. AT keyboard and RS232 mice were more my era. I'm sure some geezer on here can easily top that.

I've got to say, thank you @Kharzette . I was strongly considering getting a Pine Phone due to all the privacy features - being able to air gap all the radios and sensors is huge. This honestly sounds like an absolutely miserable experience. I hope at some point they can produce something ready...

Not sure if it's still the case, but oilfield services companies (Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, etc) were always looking for new engineers they could burn out back when I graduated. No experience required. The job interview was literally just sleep depriving a large group of people...

Should be a great time to get into engineering, there is an incredible amount of change happening. Unfortunately, too many asshole bean counters are rising to the top again. They see engineering as a cost and a commodity, not a skilled occupation that generates value. My company (automotive)...

Daniels recently got pissy and told LSU they could no longer use his name/image/likeness because they let a recruit use his number (5).

Fixed.

I love Facebook Marketplace “It's been in a little fender bender... " Pictures show front bumper caved in to the radiator. “Interior is super clean" Seats are covered in stains, carpets match the color of the dirt the car had been sitting in. Whoops, my thumb is in this photo. Oh...

I don't get the thrill of owning this. You get to spend all your time saying "no, this is real, it's not a replica" and people thinking "yeah, sure asshole". Oblig: Very convincing replica

Seems like a lot of money for an electric go kart. I mean, it's impressive the details they put into that, but I'd have just as much fun with the bare chassis.

That's the Mario Kart tours. They're mostly in Akihabara, but I think they have some in other districts as well. I've had friends do them and had a blast. I always forget to get an international driver's license before going to Japan, so, I've never done it. https://kart.st/en/

I assume that picture is their entire viewership. Indians don't give two shits about any sport but cricket and soccer. I can't believe they've run a loser like that for 18 years. Also, I haven't seen anything yet, so, hopefully the Swahili broadcast is still a go.

Gloves and insulated tools at least? Or did you like to play Operation?

The pockets are to hoard the unremarkable rocks and general garbage they find in their adventures. Then, they get released in the washing machine or dryer when my wife forgets to check the pockets. It's the circle of life. Oblig: GIS for crushed asphalt

I expect the Bears to regress big time. They won't have a last place schedule this year and, while they've tried to address it, will be going into the season down two pretty big contributors to their offensive line (one maybe coming back mid-season if lucky). As much as it pains me to say it...

Or they could have just kept Darnold and beefed up their offensive line. Everyone blamed their last two losses that season on Darnold, but that line was letting through pressure on just about every play. McCarthy was clearly the wrong choice, but they still had an actual band-aid for that...

I hope the whole league wokes themselves out of jobs and it becomes the nba senior tour. Hopefully they will allow transgenders, but not males. Then, all these guys can call them on their bullshit, take no drugs, alter their appearance in no way, and say: "yep, I'm that. It's Ma'am bigot."

I did the same, saved 70 bucks a month. I had to create a second account and “move“ into my same address to get it. Was a nightmare where I was getting double billed for for months, but they finally refunded all the charges to the account that "moved out". They don't charge a lease fee anymore...

It's funny, that Craftsman ratchet in his demo appears to work and then he starts half-assing it. Now I want that Craftsman ratchet. The YouTube comments have a bunch of people saying the same thing. He should have just done the demo with a 100 tooth Snap-On Cynergy ratchet or something with a...

I'm just glad this circus is over and the Tigers actually got some decent prospects out of it. They weren't winning it all this year (and probably not even making the playoffs) with this shit bullpen that's blown more saves than gotten actual saves. He's not going to move the needle on their...

Could also be this is the first 'raze the house and build McMansion' guy on the block and he needs to know the exact property lines so he can build right up to the setbacks.

I've only heard of the cold call guys being ultra lowball scammers or trying to pull a fast one and slash things once under contract. I'd avoid even if the initial offer is fair. If you've got a good realtor, they probably know some handymen that can knock out any prep that matters extremely...

Definitely has 'America's Game of the Week' vibes...

The Browns, Jets, Titans, and Raiders are in the top ten... I assume the criteria is just age, not quality, right?

Failing the first mission in a police game you say...

Where is this podcast? How can I get it into my wife's algorithm? What do they even mean by 90 degree head angle?

Color be damned, he should get this monstrosity: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2004-mini-cooper-s-56/

Interesting. Not sure this would work beyond Tesla though. For driver attention monitoring, most other OEMs I'm aware of use time of flight cameras - usually located in the steering column. You can look at them through your phone's camera and see the IR being emitted. These cameras are for gaze...

Was testing my google-fu. Are you sure this is something that actually exists? Looks to me like 2004 was the last year you could get that color: https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/general-mini-talk/68609-the-official-indi-blue-owners-thread.html...

Well, here's my tattoo that possibly explains it. It's of this rebellious young man, and he's urinating on an FM radio. And then this other stream of urine is going onto that television set. Implausible, I know, but I like to think that he had sex the night before, and a little bit of residue...

Your post just convinced me that angry Jeeps are the way to go. If Reddit, a bunch of communists who hate cars at Jalopnik, and boomers still using Facebook have reached a consensus, then the correct position is the opposite. If he's shunned by the Jeep community and doesn't get a bunch of...

That's an insane amount of light. I had some 6000 China lumen lights (so probably about 2000 max) in my garage and looking at them was worse than looking up at the sun. Are they dimmable? If so, maybe it would be nice to have that top level for an impromptu surgery and just leave it at 20% the...

Seemed obvious he was involved from day one, but with how long they'd taken to press charges, it seemed like he might have been able to obfuscate things. Looks like his buddies flipped...

Hadn't seen that Blu3 thing before, report back on how you like it. I'd get freaked out if there was too much tension on the air line, I'm curious how they're managing to keep it from getting tangled/snarled. Also, I feel like I'd want a BCD to go with it. IMO, that's the best part of scuba...

Am I just misinterpreting what you're saying? 2'6" and 30" are the exact same measurement. I feel like the really long soffits are on a lot of the really modern construction lake houses by me (albeit with a pretty low pitched roof as well). I like the look, but I have no clue about the...

Well fuck, I just got a proofing bowl. Looks like it's #12 for me. Is there a sourdough thread here yet?

Curious for anyone who knows how all this stuff goes together: My house eventually needs new windows and siding. Does one or the other need to be done first? I assume both is obviously ideal, but trying to see the best way to potentially spread out the pain. For windows, what's the best to...

Is that really a Class E hardhat? I'm sure it can be a fake carbon fiber pattern, but it would weird me out having my hard hat look like it was made out of something conductive as hell. I'd make sure you keep whatever stickers intact identifying it as such so you don't get thrown off a site if...

Late to the party, but just tried a Big Arch at McDonald's. What a disappointment. Extremely bland. I feel like McDonald's usually does pretty good sauces, but this was extremely meh. Not sure why this ever got the green light.
