Remember the reporter (for the WaPo, I think) that was caught on camera reacting to one of the more insane things that Trump or his administration said in the White House briefing room during his first term? She became a brief, minor celebrity.

I read that they are now spreading similar pictures with Biden instead of Trump to normalize it. But Biden didn’t post the picture of himself as God…Trump did.

Yeah the rule of thumb is that if it’s in the house, it’s one of the Asian beetles.

My high school had a room full of Apples, mostly IIe’s but a few GSs floating around, too. I could hear when someone left one of those monitors on the moment I entered the room…

On the other hand, actual line printers worked exactly like they look in movies.

But yeah those 9 pin dot matrix printers…24 pin was better, but still pretty loud. I remember visiting a college library during a field trip, and they had an inkjet (I think it was actually a Bubblejet) and it was like, “WOW LOOK HOW QUIET THAT IS!”

This is reminding me of the sounds of loading DOS on our IBM PCjr.

Yeah, I’m old. Get off my Chiclet keyboard. (Actually we had the replacement keyboard, but later we did acquire a Chiclet version somehow.)

The employees might as well get the robot Zuckerberg that the rest of us see.

Some episodes completely collapse in a world where everyone has cell phones. You just have to remember how it was back then…

It’s amazing!

We saw it in 2016, and we took the behind the scenes tour (we requested an English version and they found someone to do it). The guide said they were going to bridge to another building across the water from them. I thought, “Yeah, right, that will never happen.”

A few years later, a bridge went in and now they have trains in the other building, and running through the bridge. They did it!

I had no idea people hated Jazz music. I’m not a fan of it, and I don’t listen to it, but I don’t hate it.

Why would someone hate it? Unless you hang out on Bourbon Street, it seems easy enough to avoid…

Yeah the one on my lap right now would be opening every can available.

Art of the Deal, folks!

Huh. I have some VHS tapes I wouldn’t mind ripping. I have a vcr but I don’t think I have a way to capture the output. I’d better look into it sooner rather than later…

One of our cats will get into the shower, if he can. He’s even figured out how to open the door of my glass shower stall. We’ve never actually tried to bathe him, but he definitely loves the water.

Half these “trends” that get articles are really just two people doing something stupid.

How many people were actually eating Tide pods? I seriously doubt more than a handful.

I can’t help but read these as though the characters are always yelling at each other. Bold, all caps text, that’s just how it comes across in my head. LIKE THIS.

One is my bank, so, kinda, yeah. That one just has the “active” triggers, so it’s easy enough to click-click and then login.

I forget what the other one I hit occasionally is, I just did it the other day, too. That one I actually have to type a character then delete it after the password manager fills in so I can log in.

I can’t figure out why they are doing this…I guess it’s so that you don’t accidentally try to log in before typing username and password, but…

I thought the use of “dubious” was hilarious. It’s quite an understatement, like, “Yeah, that may not have happened,” avoiding calling him a liar directly, but conveying that it’s extremely unlikely.

The time and attendance software at my old job would do that. It took me a while to figure out that it wasn’t me forgetting the password, the password had just expired. Extremely frustrating.

I do, but more and more sites are unintentionally (or intentionally?) making them hard to use, by relying on Javascript triggers, like requiring typing in each field or at least putting each field into focus, before the “log in” button becomes active.
