a native RAR app

It better come with a "Trial Expired" pop-up or I am not using it

From the generation before this, I always thought the "mobile generation"'s computer savviness had been overrated. Mobile phones (especially iOS) are like a walled garden compared to using a PC and Windows. It was easy to shoot yourself in the foot on Windows 98, etc so you learnt to be careful very quickly. Likewise, there's no jumping into the registry or terminal, no built in zip/rar handling, warnings from the OS, built in Malware protection, etc

The internet was a wild place in the 90s and this generation never really experienced that. Forums had lax moderation and could be full of troll links to "I am an idiot", goatse, etc. Files could be hosted on random webpages and the downloads could contain anything: often a virus alongside the actual file, etc

I remember not using an antivirus as Norton and co would crush your machine, so you just had to tread extremely carefully

Not the Volcano, but I've had multiple vaporizers: Magic Flight, Arizer Extreme Q, Crafty+

I never got the same high with them and end up using similar amounts chasing the high. For me a one hitter ended up more efficient (never owned a bong). Interestingly, dabs worked for me which seems odd as it's very similar

It will be like where I was working. On that project there were ~12 people. You could've cut in in half easily:

  • AFAIK the project manager did nothing (tbh they had no clue what they were doing)
  • The QA was incompetent and I wrote all their tests
  • 2 User Researchers set up various sessions -- but the business told them all their findings were wrong (turns out the researchers were right)
  • Architect went to some meetings and never spoke to the devs about anything (turns out I had to find out how things worked and tell him...)
  • My Tech Lead seemed to be on holiday every other day
  • One Dev was fresh out of a scheme (for non comp sci students, so was slow but that's understandable)

I ended up working overtime into burn out to get the project through the door (and hit issues due the architect should've informed us of). It would've honestly been easier as just me, one other developer, and a BA

Interesting, back on that other place many thought £80m would be enough

I wouldn't be surprised if WH were holding out an extra 5/10 million or a loan on top

Someone probably dumped the contents of a "small drink" from the cinema in there

I know we can have multiple accounts (and I am sure apps will help the experience), but I almost signed up for Beehaw as it was big and chose here

I am glad I didn't sign up and will probably unsubscribe to anything I was subbed to there as I can't post, maybe I'll signup so I can just in case there's anything interesting...

Wow I almost joined yeehaw instead of here... They seem too quick to block other instances

It's not a surprise people joined those instances -- yeehaw required approval. To many people that means "wait 24 hours" so they went elsewhere

That's how I learned to roll. Even if I were to roll a pure joint, I'd still put a touch of tobacco at the end followed by a cardboard filter

Years back I had a small one hitter / dugout that had a "spiral" air-flow to cool the smoke and had a spring to eject afterwards. I loved that and miss it so much. Eventually it broke and I never found another :*(

Currently trying out the Puffco Proxy, which is really neat

Beat Saber works for me
