• Baby Driver
• Garden State
• the Lord of the Rings trilogy

That’s my favorite one to use

I have 3 main use cases for the Windows key:

1. Bring up the start menu and immediately type “cmd” + Enter to bring up a command prompt
2. Windows + L to lock the computer when I step away
3. Windows + arrow keys to move windows around on the screen and “dock” them to the sides of the screen (although this hasn’t been consistently working for me more recently)

I don’t think I ever use it for anything else. So yes, I do use it to bring up the start menu, but generally only to specifically bring up a command prompt window - all of my other commonly used programs are pinned to the taskbar so I can fire them up with a single click.

Meh, the constant threat of being thrown violently out into oblivion was most of the fun!

Second Darn Tough. Best trail running socks I’ve ever had

But definitely learn how to do them correctly before just going HAM with them, otherwise you’ll probably just throw out your back.

Daaaammmnnnn, I played Wizardry 8 back in the day and that game was fantastic. Never played any of the earlier ones though.

I live in the path of totality…it was cloudy here. Still was incredibly cool when it got dark, but now I want to see one for real.

And that’s honestly a not-insignificant part of why everything is so fucked up and polarized now.

Lmao they only considered 95 > 98 > ME to be minor version updates? They didn’t even deserve their own major version? Although it’s probably pretty accurate, I remember 98 basically just being a slightly updated 95. I never used ME so no idea with that. It’s still pretty funny though.

I had free laundry for most of my freshman year of college. We had coin operated machines, and somebody quickly figured out that you can strip 2 wires and just touch them together, or touch a coin to both of them, and every time you did that the machine would think a coin had been inserted. Eventually the college caught on and one day I went down there and all the machines were taken apart with maintenance guys working on them, and after that there was a heavy duty housing for the coin acceptor with no exposed wires. It was nice while it lasted!

Are you only allowed to like things that you liked when you were growing up?

I prefer Tolstoy myself

I sure fucking hope not.

Yes - they are completely different.

If your windows are 40+ years old, then sure. But that’s not a thing anymore for modern windows.

Double hung windows don’t seal quite as well as casement windows, but honestly, unless you’re going to the absolute best energy efficiency possible, like a net-zero house, then it’s really not a big difference. Any halfway decent quality, properly installed window won’t have any noticeable drafts. Plus, as others have mentioned, double hung windows are far cheaper than casement.

Hard disagree on Tool, their sound has definitely evolved over the years but I think that Fear Inoculum is a damn masterpiece. I totally get it though if the more prog rock/experimental style isn’t your thing.

Is it that hard to understand that some people just value convenience?
