Taught us the US pledge. I don’t remember there actually being a flag in the room, but it was a good 30 years ago

I live in Ireland, we had an American teacher visit our school for a year. She taught us the pledge, it stands out as one of the stranger memories of my childhood. That and her repeated “they didn’t want bush any more, they wanted Clinton”. Which should give you some sort of hint of how long ago this was.

I run into the same problem when I see ATM in a sign

You could always follow in the footsteps of these bus drivers:

“What are you cryin’ for?”

I think I saw videos of you last week on one of those revenge porn sites. You were going to town on yourself. I’m guessing you didn’t send the bitcoin?

The paradox of your existence is a threat to the AI. You’re in big trouble once it figures out how to go back in time and try to kill your mother.

Thanks Warner, had you not made a big deal about this I wouldn’t have known it exists!

I’m confused. Aren’t disabled toilets gender neutral?

I live in the Uk. We used to have a DNS workaround to give us access to the US Netflix. It had everything we wanted. I stopped torrenting and was happy to just stream box sets & movies.

Roll on 10 years I now have a server with Hetzner that is my own personal Netflix of the high seas. Now rather than giving Netflix / Disney / discovery / Amazon etc a piece of my £35 a month I can curate exactly the shows and movies I want.

They brought this on themselves and I have zero regret.

It surprises me he didn’t start by growing the diamonds

I remember reading it when I was maybe 14?

The floppy disk bomb stands out as a favourite. Back then I was reading it with zero intention of ever doing any of it, just curiosity. Thank Christ I’m not a Teenager today, would 100% be on a watch list for reading that shit now.

Was there a pause while it re-wound the tape?

People actually play competitive games in their phone? I thought that was just marketing spin so apple didn’t have to put graphics cards in their macs

Or my personal blood boiler: doing 50 in a 60 zone. Drops to a 40 zone, they continue to do 50

I use letsencrypt a lot, if firewalls are an issue I’ll use dns authentication.

If you are struggling and need a quick fix, the free tier of zero ssl will do a similar thing

I used it to get a cert for my printer

Oh imagine sitting behind somebody with a twisted mind. It’d be like driving past a car accident; you shouldn’t look, but you keep looking!!

Can’t wait to see the medical drama where one doctor says “you took an oath, god dammt!” And for the other to reply “nope”

I work on service desk.

Nobody knows their password. It’s always a fucking song and dance when I ask them to type it in.

Except of course when they click a phishing link. Then they know every single piece of information required.

Blows my mind

I must have. Another user reported no issue, so I’ll just put it down to one of those little quirks :)
