“Pissing in the soup” doesn’t really work here unless you’re adulterating the software with something malicious.

Did what? Did what??

To be fair, there are important differences between open source and closed source software.

You vastly underestimate the number of roadside tourist traps.

I once blew a coworker’s mind with Alt-Tab.

Are the mashed potatoes buttered, or plain?

Everyone knows that foods are extended along the axis with a circular cross section.

i.e., burgers stack higher, hot dogs grow longer.

I’m curious how it’s considered a “layoff” if it’s based on performance rather than the job itself being eliminated.

Case/chasis: 15 years and counting

Motherboard/CPU: ~5 years (currently: 6.5 years)

RAM: ~2 years until maxed out (currently: maxed out)

GPU: ~3-6 years (currently: 3 years)

I had hoped to do a new build last year, but it’s just too expensive. For now I’m planning to use what I have until it breaks.

In Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, there are terminals scattered around to restore your health, shield, ammo, etc. Each terminal restores one of these to a max of 100 health/shield or 300 ammo.

Then there’s the terminal just before the final boss fight that maxes everything to 999. Bricks were shat when first I saw that.

But… none of those things actually contradict “stone age”. It might be better to point out that an advanced civilization isn’t necessarily defined by metalworking.

Verily.

Software is like a gas: it expands to fill its container.

Air guitars don’t look like air guitars on film. You have to use air ukuleles. Which has led to the myth that they aren’t really playing air instruments at all.

Fair game.

It is a theory to explain how genie knows about things like automobiles and 20th century movie stars. It posits that these are only anachronisms if the story is set in the past, as commonly assumed. But setting it in the far distant future eliminates the problem. It also explains the apparent “magic” in the world as remnants of a fallen high-tech civilization.

Rajah the tiger? Genetic engineered. Magic carpet? Hover tech. Buried stop signs (video game only)? Ancient relic. It’s really quite surprising how well this theory fits.

Throw in the fan theory that Disney’s version takes place thousands of years in the future.

You mean like… speaking to someone in the same room? While they’re looking at you? With their eyes?!

Goofy at the bottom

From the phrasing and context, I was expecting something else when I clicked.
