I imagine part of it has to do with relatability. People like to insert themselves into the stories. And nostalgia is a strong drug. More people have experience with high school than college, so you’ll automatically appeal to a large audience.
In the episode he did on it he had to borrow it from Pat the NES Punk. Of course that was 14 years ago, so I assume he could have gotten his hands on them since.
Out of curiosity, what would you plug those into to get the best use of them? I couldn’t imagine the headphone jack on my motherboard would be able to take full advantage of them.
I don’t care what M$ says, Azure DevOps is being left for dead. As someone who worked on the System Center space for years, I know the signs of a product they want to kill but can’t. I’m convinced the only reason it is still around is because some internal teams haven’t moved to GitHub yet.
Back around this time I was in the military and each base had Public Folders in Outlook where people could post stuff for sale. I left my computer unlocked one day and one of my colleagues posted my car for free on there. This was also back when you would have like 25 MB mailbox limits. Needless to say my inbox got filled up in minutes.
We have Enzo Ferrari being a prick to thank for the birth of Lamborghini, the Shelby Cobra AC, and the Ford GT40
Lucas Limon - I never understood how kids could eat. Even before they found lead in it.
Kristen Schaal - I absolutely hated her in 30 Rock and that just stuck with me. But I’m starting to come around since What We Do in the Shadows. I also never had a problem with her voice acting.
A couple of years back I fell asleep at like 8 PM and slept through to 6:30 AM. Then I fell back asleep around 8 or 9 and slept until noon. When I woke up I didn’t feel tired at all. This had been the first time I felt like that in I don’t know how long
Might as well throw some Artax memes in while we’re at it
It’s not a great movie, it’s superb!
If it wasn’t for a few f bombs the Blue Brothers could have been rated PG. And maybe the used condom joke at the very beginning.
A cigarette never chewed through the firewall on my car and filled the glovebox with acorns
First thought was, you don’t need to update an Azure. Second thought was tech people really aren’t good at coming up with unique names.
The thing that always impressed me with Paul is he seems to genuinely enjoy entertaining people. You hear about bands complaining that they hate playing certain songs, out right refusing to play their hits, or phoning in their concerts. But not Paul. I saw him a few years ago and he put on a 3 hour nonstop show. His band took breaks but he just kept going. I can’t even begin to guess the number of times he’s played Hey Jude, but every time I’ve seen him play it he seems to be genuinely enjoying himself.
I tried to stick out as long as I could, but we really have no choice anymore. I have a child with special needs and it’s been a struggle to get him the services he is legally entitled to. Now without the Dept of Education things are only going to get worse.
I wish you well and hope you can get out soon.
I am moving out of Texas. Our house goes on the market in a couple of weeks and once it’s sold we’ll be heading to New England.
You should read the NOFX autobiography, the open line is…
The first time I drank piss was on a fire escape overlooking downtown Los Angeles.
I have 20 years experience in IT process automation, with the last 15 spent in consulting. The number one thing I’ve learned is businesses don’t care about the technology. I could write the coolest automation that covers 99% of potential issues, but if it costs more to run than having a person in India push a button, they won’t buy it.
