Until your building burns down. Hopefully you had the foresight to do off-site backups.

Gave both dolls and cars to both my daughter and son... The boy likes cars and the girl likes dolls. It's genetic.

In 8th grade this one guy used pc anywhere or whatever was around back then to remote into a computer being used by a much younger student and started typed YOU WILL DIE. There was a flap, but it didn't involve police.

The FCC could possibly regulate this.

That's not how things are done in Essex Jct VT.

IBM is famous for this. The moment you give notice your security badge is revoked and you are marched out of the building to enjoy your paid vacation for however long your notice was.

I had the priviledge of living in a government surplus FEMA trailer on a Navy base for about four weeks. It really wasn't that bad. They're just cheap trailers built by some cheap trailer company like the millions of other cheap trailers that people live in all over the US. There's nothing FEMA-ey about them. I don't know what everybody is complaining about. Bunch of whine-ass cry-babies. "Oh the FREE trailer I got from the government ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH". Or maybe this whole thing was concocted by the media. When FEMA got rid of them, this base got about a dozen, for free, and they've been lived in ever since, including by me, and they are perfectly livable.

There are those in oceanography who would tell you that Bob's submersibles are pressurized by his own overinflated ego. But I guess haters gonna hate. FWIW my grandpa met him once and speaks highly of him, and he answered a letter one of my cousin's wrote to him. And the JASON system is fucking rad.

Or it could be Nazi Germany and you could be a certain famous Jewish patent clerk turned physicist.

If you haven't broken a hundred screwdrivers you haven't done any real work.

Your victrola is probably an exceptional outlyer. It's remarkable because it's so old and still works. Nevermind the million other busted victrolas in the landfill. I've gone through plenty of old stuff that was busted and not worth fixing for any practical reason. Old does not necessarily equal good. Sure manufacturing quality of consumer goods is hit or miss but that's nothing new either. You think nobody sold junk 100 years ago? Yeah right.

It wasn't very long ago that; guess what? NOBODY owned their telephone! That's right, you RENTED it from the phone company! In fact it was ILLEGAL to third party phone. In fact some people STILL RENT their phone. Their ROTARY land line phone.

Funny how quickly people forget. As they say in china, there's nothing new under the sun.

My understanding is that it's easy to spread READ ONLY postgres load accross multiple servers. WRITING is a bottleneck with postgresql though because it enforces consistency, while other DBs like couch kick the consistency can down the road to the application. But I haven't seriously looked into it in years.

Hurrrr! Get off my lawn!

That's the point. Guillotine don't care. Guillotine doesn't give a shit.
