It didn’t seem condescending to me.

Personally I like having my cds put of nostalgia. I don’t spend all that time making multiple cds for large games like horizon zero dawn because I think it’ll stand the test of time lol. Most of the cds I had when they were the standard aren’t functional anymore, but damn if I don’t enjoy it when my little usb disc tray pops out.

It’s generally correct to assume the average pc user doesn’t make backups of anything. I once had a friend call me to their house in a panic because their work laptop ate shit and they had absolutely nothing saved externally. With a recovery company, he managed to scrape about 10% of his client data, and their bank lost a looooooot of reputation over it. Now their laptops do company-wide backups to a single cloud service twice a day. (I asked what they’re gonna do if the cloud service goes down and the answer he gave was “look for a new job” lmao)

I have other backups, I just get nostalgic for the days of Command and Conquer.

I mean, I have an external hdd I keep a backup of important files on, and an ssd I use to transfer things onto a second computer, and it’s just a full backup of my primary pc.

I combine the two.

Burn offline drm free installers onto blank cds.

Well… Dvds, I can fit some older games into cds but they don’t have the same capacity.

I’ve been burning cds with my offline installers on every game I can. Finding blank cds in physical stores is hard, I lucked out finding this stack brand new at a thrift store.

I would very much like to have a desktop with cd racks filling the frame around it again.

Yeah, nothing stopped them from trashing the postal service for the last election in an extremely transparent way, I don’t actually see this court order being effective.

Or at least as effective as every other court order seems to have been for the regime.

“The whites” literally went to war over slavery. What they mean is “the conservative whites”

I just think they’re neat.

I have freaked out several people because I stop mid-drive to carry turtles across the road.

Remember: take it to the side it’s moving toward or it will just cross again.

JOB

The only approach I see is hands out in a “the fuck are you doing, dude” kind of way. Even if the owner ran out yelling, driver’s response is over the top. Just keep walking away.

Me, before clicking: “please be E&I…. Please be E&I…. click as yeah.”

I don’t do chemistry stuff, but damn do I love his videos.

I’m glad the bird that keeps nesting in the shed is okay. (I like to think it’s always the same one)

There was a bigger turnout for our hastily organized last minute pride in a rural red state town.

Steam box =/= normal gaming pc

My 5 year old pre built acer laptop is around the same price and specs, and only the cpu is better on the steam square.

Comparing the release of ps5 with current day stuff seems weird. Why not compare with the launch of valve? Or personal computers in general?

Coming soon to interview questions ner you: “are you now, or have you ever been a re ipient of medicaid?”

Followed by mysterious ghosting of anyone who said “yes”

Completely unrelated, of course.

….. People actually do app subscriptions? Not a meme, I’m actually asking because that sounds crazy to me.

It’s a sawyer, and both marketing materials and real world testing say otherwise. Personal experience also tells me my filter is keeping me healthy while my neighbors don’t even bother listening to boil advisories.

For drinking pure water, we use a brita tap filter, and a sawyer filter straw, and just have it gravity feed into a pitcher. The pitcher usually doesn’t last a full day.

For cooking, we just use the tap filter and a cheap gravity filter with a reservoir. No need to go all out when you’re boiling the water lol

The Sawyer filter can be cleaned by forcing distilled water through in reverse, it unclogs the straw/membrane filter, but it only works for so long. Luckily the sawyer still works like a charm after thousands of gallons.

Disclaimer: I have not been testing for bacteria or other contaminants, I just go by taste and swap filters when something tastes off. I have no proof this filters everything, but neighbors have gotten sick around times when boil advisories go out, when we’ve been healthy the whole time. Could just be coincidence.

I’ve been using a water filter to filter my tap water for years, because tap water tastes nasty.

WHO’S LAUGHING NOW, BITCHES! I mean, not me because things still suck, but at least I’m reasonably sure I won’t get a disease after my city reduced funding for water treatment.

…. Ew. That’s a gross sentiment.

Yeah but that’s different.

Because….. Something something USA sucks HAHAHA A PWND now let me spam emojis and gifs while pointing out spelling and grammar errors because I have no real argument and just want to feel smugly superior.

/s, obviously.
