Anyone actually uses Reddit search? That thing has been so horribly broken since the very beginning that some of the best subreddits (AskHistorians, for example) openly recommend using a standard search engine with the “site:reddit.com” parameter.

My rule of thumb: if it’s big enough to give it a name, you’ve got to flush twice.

I’m a bisexual the same way that I am bilingual. A bilingual illiterate. I can’t read in two languages.

During the time my entire neighbourhood was trick-or-treating last night, an Amazon driver had the bright idea to deliver packages. I hope the candies were worth driving around at 2 km/h and dodging small kids.

I agree that most radio stations are shite. Fortunately, I live in Ireland, which still has publicly funded broadcasters. I have my phone permanently tuned to Lyric FM, which plays classical music with almost no commercials.

My current phone is Samsung XCover 4. It’s a fairly newish rugged phone; still has a FM receiver.

The headphone wire also serves as a FM radio antenna. You can’t get that with wireless headphones or a connection via the USB jack.

I still have WinXP in a VM. Run it whenever I want to play Stars!

If you replaced MS Paint with SkiFree in that picture, you’d achieve perfection.

And for some reason, copying the tapes via a double-deck never worked. I had to use software like Mr. Copy to copy over the tapes I borrowed from a classmate.

I recently upgraded my phone, and the lack of a 3.5mm jack really hurts. But at least I have an excuse not to listen to my sister’s 20 min Whatsapp voice messages…

One other thing I really miss is the LED indicator that you have new notifications when the screen is off.
