   Awesome little anecdote, thanks for sharing. I learned about reverse engineering because of UO. I reverse engineered EasyUO's technique for running macros which involved code injection and shared it with the world. Long live T2A!

   I never would have guessed that what I take for granted to be a multi-threaded intrinsic actually existed long before x86 multi-threading was widespread. A quick search shows potential dual 386 boards, I assume these instructions were to s

    I have using dreams sometimes...where I can smell, taste, feel the drugs. Only to wake up feeling disgusted and ashamed. Beneficial? Maybe, maybe not.

    Not too long ago I had an abundant supply of phenazepam from my days as a dealer in designer drugs. Being the raging addict that I was, I used it daily for insomnia. After wrecking my car while on a mix of MXE/phenazepam/alcohol

    from my own experience, definitely a "tough guy" thing paired with lax safety oversight. OSHA training is near universal (here in the USA). even with the threat of being asked to immediately leave a job site for lack of proper P

    Hmm, this wasn't true for me. I just did a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro, and I wasn't required to have a Microsoft account...I did however install from a Windows 11 N source, and updated the license to my Education key shortly

    Unfortunately, for me the cure for social anxiety was drugs and alcohol. I recently went to rehab for the first time, and I have 4 months of sobriety...my longest stretch of sobriety in my adult life (I'm 41). Being social and sober
