I don’t think pew pews are real yet. Biathalon uses bang bangs. Or maybe boom booms. Jury’s still out.

I skipped that step and went straight to cameras in the toilet pointed up.

One step closer to a solar powered laser beam guitar.

I don’t think you were hostile, you just have a different experience than others in this thread. At my workplace we design hardware and make embedded systems. Depending on which part of the system you’re working on you’ll either never leave Visual Studio or exclusively use the unix command line. Both groups are absolutely serious professionals. Not every workplace is like mine; most will have only one of the two groups.

The one near me plays the 4 bar “Westminster Quarters”. It plays one bar for each quarter hour. The full song on the hour, and bangs out the hour.

That’s a far reaching blizzard. That warning’s all over Southern Saskatchewan too.

The neuter pronoun (“it”) doesn’t work for humans in English either.

Valve can’t count to 3, EA can’t count to 5.

Warning: my music nerd’s about to come out.

I’m in my 40s, and have been playing music since single digits. I still remember the order of lines in the staffs with “Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge”, “FACE”, “Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always”, and “All Cows Eat Grass”. I did teach my kids “Good Burritos Don’t Fall Apart”, though, since they seem to like burritos.

My internal math nerd agrees with the grandparent though, for some reason I just remembered the order of operations and was confused when my kids came home with PEDMAS. But to be fair, I use the order of operations every day at work, so 🤷. I’m also one of those people who will insist on using parentheses everywhere there’s more than two terms, though, so take from that what you will.

1982 was 43 years ago…

There’s a section of a multi-use path in my city that has a limit of 15kph (k not m), right need a parking lot with poor visibility. It even has one of those radar shame signs. Not unreasonable all things considered but it does seem kinda slow.

Oh man, I was annoyed at this woman coming up on me uphill on a shared path one day. That is, until she got close enough for me to see she made my 75 year old mother look like a teenager. Then I thought “good for you, gran, but maybe slow down a bit”.

Geforce 4 came out in 2002, so this meme is likely about 23 years old. Can legally drink, and could have voted for both Trudeau and Carney.

They’re not for everyone. But if you like the low rise keys there are good mechanical keyboards with them. Might be worth a try, but they’re expensive enough that I’d see if a friend has one to play with rather than buying one and hoping for the best.

Do Canada next…

Nah, it was invented in 1887 when paracetamol was tested on humans for the first time.

If they’re bringing up ebikes, may as well whine about regular bikes. They can also go above 30. I go over 30 for about half my morning commute.

High quality keyboards are often very repairable. People tend to like them and not want to replace them often. My daily keyboard was nearly $400. I’m fixing that long before I replace it. The Kumara isn’t nearly so fancy, but some of the design elements will still be there.

Runs about $50 new, so $5.75 is a good price even if it needed minor repairs.

Not gonna lie… my first reaction to that in this context is “two in the pink one in the stink”. Now I feel dirty, thanks, Beryl.

Yup. Nunavut in 1999.
