My first job was building computers with old parts. A guy needed MS Word for work but didn’t want to buy a new computer or upgrade his 386SX (25Mhz iirc). It had like 20MB of disk and I don’t recall the RAM. So he asked me if I could try. So I did. I managed to install DOS, Windows 3.1 and MS Word. I don’t remember how long it took to boot, but I remember that it would take 6 seconds for a pressed letter to appear on the screen.
Amazing how it looks like a game from the 80s.
Yeah, let’s blame the victim.
So, is r/celebnsfw closing? Because it’s exactly what it is. Guy was probably the only human in a sea of bots posting there.
Cerol is old story. You can do it at home. Ground glass and glue. That’s all you need.
Kite fight is almost a tradition in Brazil. The real masters of kite fighting are capable of even capturing the enemy’s kite, wrapping it their own kite’s tail (called rabiola).
Now, when they do this near a highway, the razor sharp line can fall into traffic and cut through the necks of people in bikes. I had a line crossed in front of me once. I was in a car and the line wrapped on my mirror. I didn’t stop there because I thought it was dangerous. When I finally did, the line was embedded into the mirror’s casing, having cut through the plastic.
Another thing that can cause death related to kites. Kids love running after the cut ones. And they’re usually looking up, not sideways when running. So, being struck by a car is easy.
Just check if the other side has an X-chock between the wheels.

One of my duties in my first job was to build diskless computers. I’d record an EPROM in the station and boot from a Novell server.
For people in Canada, Pix is like Interac with automatic deposit activated.
Quebec was a French colony, they lost a big war, they hate the monarchy and dream of independence from Britain and the English part of Canada.
They try everything so people keep speaking in French. They force kids to go to French schools and reduced the places in English schools. They’ve had teachers and monitors forcing kids to speak in French even during recess. Of course it doesn’t work and kids will speak in whatever language they want, mainly English.
I have a little bit of experience in this. Brazilian living in Quebec. So, my friends almost always spoke in Portuguese with their children, school and TV were in French. After some time, school starts also to teach English and they chose the language of the TV. Now the kids are almost always speaking in English, although the are fluent in Portuguese and, of course, French.
Now, my wife and I hated the TV in French, so we kept it in English. So, my kids had to deal with three languages from the start. They mixed everything up and we screwed up by saying words in all three languages. We speak mainly Portuguese but we would use words that they learned in other languages in those languages instead of in Portuguese. In the end, my kids mix all three languages in a single sentence, which is weird as hell. They’re slowly separating the languages and we too. Now, every sentence we speak is in a single language. Their friends help in a way, because they also speak French in class but English outside (and Quebec’s government hates that).
So, if both of you are Portuguese speakers, I’d only speak Portuguese with them and let the TV and school teach English. They’ll know how to keep things separated.

Are you entering hyperspace?
Hey, I heard Boeing is hiring assassins. It’s in high demand!
It’s not panic. We already have direct connects to AWS and Azure. It’s something we’ve been working on for five years now.
My job estimated our VMware cost will be 10 times more expensive. We’re moving to the cloud as soon as possible.
If both seats are taken for all showings, probably they are broken and locked off.
