Yeah, I agree that finding a "good" place for some products is hard, but "computer parts" is not one of those categories, as Microcenter is perfectly fine.

I've never had an issue with the supposed "co-mingling". If I'm careful when I choose what product I order, I have no problem. That said, choosing a good product is definitely becoming harder and harder. Amazon reviews a

Mr. Spinney narrated the audiobook of Street Gang , a book about the creation of Sesame Street. While listening I realized that his "regular" voice sounds almost but not quite like Big Bird's. With Oscar though he disguises

Related: the 1994 R.E.M. song "Star 69". Even if you didn't have Caller ID, you could dial *69 and it would automatically call back the last person who called you. "I know you called, I know you hung up my line, star 69&

This is 100% a function of your age and has nothing to do with the availability of reddit(?!). Every teenager thinks "I know the real truth unlike the rest of the sheeple!" Usually they grow out of it.

Ghostery shows 14 trackers on that link. Before we get to “but the journo doesn’t make the website policies”, If they wanted to not be a hypocrite about it, they could write a blog post on a tracker-free site. They chose to write on nytimes

Red Storm Rising is fantastic. I still go back and play it sometimes. There was a “spiritual successor” game on Steam called Cold Waters I think, but I never tried it out.

Anyone have opinions comparing Fastmail with Protonmail? I know they're not going for the exact same market, but in the more generic market of "email services for people who don't want to use Gmail" I'd be intereste

My yard has a small stream and is near a relatively busy road. A couple times a year I go into the stream and clean up all the litter that has been washed into it. Littering is definitely still a thing.

I had a Turbo button on a 80386, I believe it brought it down from 25 MHz to 12 MHz. I think they were still common on 486s too though, it wasn't until Pentiums that the option stopped being included.

Sierra was called “On-Line Systems” in 1979, and “Sierra On-Line”, with the hyphen, starting in 1982. Definitely not a 90s thing.

Microsoft didn't spend enough money on lobbying in the 90s, and so the government cracked down on them. "Nice browser you have there, shame if something happened to it." Google learned from MS's mistakes.

Or you could get a job in a place that isn’t a dystopian hellhole. The country is pretty big, you don’t actually have to work in California. Other places don’t do this.

My first game was the Friendlyware PC Arcade, which is up there now. It's a bunch of clones of coin-op arcade games done in ASCII/CP-437 graphics. The Frogger clone "Hopper" is most memorable for me. I still love anythin
