I’m 51, I have several 30-something coworkers, one in particular gets all my cultural references, one in particular gets none of them. It’s fun to get them together…
I’m a 51 year old (as of today) and I feel like I’m 25, and when I talk to people… Wait, I don’t talk to people…
This question forms the core of the infinite monkey protocol…


My unicorn is invisible and pink.


Can it still involve their genitals?
Because it’s not commonly used that way. If we avoided anything that had at some time been used as a slur, we’d only have about 3 names to pick from. (Of course I exaggerate, but it’s better than saying “it would retard growth”, isn’t it?)


Since there is a limited window in which brain plasticity is at its peak, catching up at university isn’t an option.
I call bullshit. It may be true that there is a peak, but it’s not like after that peak it’s hopeless… I’m 50 years old and I work a job where I literally have to learn an ever changing product in order to support it, and I’m doing fine, I just got promoted to senior so I’m teaching the new hires. I haven’t even been there 5 years yet.


Yes, everything about it was extra heavy.
Have you blocked me yet? If not, it might save time to do it now…


I always noticed that too…


That’s the problem though, with old systems like that, the CPU was like 1/10th of the equation, the hardware was far more important. Porting something often involved a full rewrite.


My dad had a DEC something or other that was basically a cube with most of its space being two 8" floppy drives… No clue if it ran cp/m…


My local science museum had a laptop from the '90s on display, with the caption “computing in the 1900s”. My kids asked if that was what I had in school when I was their age, and I had to break the news to them that I was already done with school when those were current…
It’s both, depending on perspective. You emigrate from America to Zimbabwe according to other Americans. To Zimbabweans, you have immigrated to Zimbabwe from America.
a man won’t know a woman doesn’t shave her legs unless he’s intimate with her
What’s the opposite of observant? Because whatever that is, you are.
But not a lot on sunglasses.
I can vouch for that… When my wife was pregnant with our first kid, that was the longest 9 months of my life (well, 8 I guess, since she was a month in before we knew)… Then when our second came along, it wasn’t like that until her 2nd ultrasound, where it looked like there might be a problem… Then time sped up again after the next ultrasound, when they decided it was just a shadow or something and all was fine…
Yes, and every accusation was a confession.
