I drove 1500 miles with directions to the town center, and a phone number written on a paper plate. I then used a pay phone to call her and tell her "Surprise, I drove to your town, wheres your apartment?"

She bet me I wouldn't.

I won that bet. Victory party lasted the entire weekend, then I drove home. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Ahh, 1998. May it never return.

No. Mac is NOT BSD. Mac took the BSD user space from 20+ years ago. That's all.

I'm not sure why this myth keeps being repeated over and over.

If that's all it takes to "be" BSD, then windows is also BSD since the entire windows network stack was lifted from BSD

My sister can't see the big E on the old school eye charts.

My kid barely can, as well. They're practically blind without glasses.

20 years ago:

"We need to stop using paper bags! They're cutting down all the trees!โ€ (a renewable resource)

"We should use plastic bags instead! They're recyclable!โ€ (so is paper, and it's far more economically viable, but plastic is made from petroleum)

So now we use plastic bags made of a much heavier material, so we can reuse them, or cloth bags for a similar reason.

Cloth bags are made from cotton, like paper is made from trees.

It's too late, he already broke his car while going around the corner.

Cable TV providers in the 70s: "No commercials when you pay for our services!"

Cable TV providers in the early 80s: "Ok, we actually meant no commercials on premium channels, but local channels will, and it's not our fault."

Cable TV providers in the late 80s: "Fine. What we meant was no commercials on movie channels."

Cable TV providers in the 90s: "Uhm, so only on-demand shows will be commercial free."

But that would require me installing epic games.

Nope.

Boy was my wife pissed. Yelling about wearing out the elastic and shit. I haven't tried since.
