  • No. If they are meaningful to you, keep them. If you're worried about the data failure of them, just watch them once every 10 years and it should renew the magnetic stuff on them.

    I work in a place with a lot of old technology and the general consensus is that magnetic media needs to go through the motions every 10 years to stay healthy.

    but we have had success accessing 25+ year old media. so there's no scientific line about how long that stuff should survive.

    I do subscribe to the 10 year access rule because not all media was created equal.

  • Seattle is a city of immigrants. I lived in West Seattle for 20 years and my neighbors were mostly not from there...

    Refuges from West Africa (dad is a doctor and he had to leave because religious nuts were killing everyone he knew), First generation Vietnamese, white lesbians (they had a huge garden and shared with everyone), Koreans who were both born in Seoul, and an older white couple raising their grandson who had a black father. They had been in the neighborhood the longest. I am Lakota, my grandfather's family relocated after WWII.

    I fucking loved it.

    All good people and I miss them all. I moved to be closer to family and it's been a difficult transition to be on the Eastside of the state which is majority white (lots of Eastern European immigrants, so that's nice)

  • when I was a boy... that scene when the guy is trying to run up the stairs and Freddy turns the stairs into muck and starts grabbing at him... that shit haunted me! I could not walk up stairs if the lights were turned off on the lower floor without freaking out

    I have had some some epic nightmares that woke me up screaming but once I wake up and think about them they are usually just stupid shit.

    Its the emotions that are overwhelmed and that is what they are eluding to with Freddy attacking you in your dreams. He makes the nightmare real to you and then tortures you and ultimately kills you... because he cant rape children anymore.

    fun fact, one of the worst nightmares I think I ever had went like this....

    a dream within a dream kinda thing... I woke up screaming that I saw a dead person in the mirror behind me and I screamed and woke myself up and went to the bathroom and when I looked in the mirror the dead guy was there again behind me.... I was screaming bloody murder at the top of my lungs and my wife woke me up and I was fucking whacked out... I wasn't sure I was awake or still dreaming... I went to the bathroom and washed my face and when I opened the door to leave, my wife was standing there. and it startled me and I just collapsed and cried for a few minutes. Once I told her what the dream was that had me screaming we both kinda laughed about it and went on with the day.

    The next day she woke me up and said I had to come and look at the TV... sadly it wasn't a nightmare but that day was 9/11/2001

  • I haven't played that game in ages.... I think I have seen the movie probably more time then I have played the game

  • mow-tow-cy-cle

    bike or bye-sickle

  • she has aged so much since she was sworn in lol

    like a year for each month

  • I'm thinking William Gibson probably gets it right with the Neuromancer story

  • I usually just ignore my settlement, it doesn't produce anything useful and because its on a shitty planet that is constantly getting sentinel attacks with storms that make it so you cant see shit. Just makes it a pain

    the dumb timmers for building new buildings are way to slow or I would find another one

  • did you go back to the corvette workshop in the same space station that you started it from?

    I found that if I change stations while there is an incomplete design, it will not follow me to the next station. Once I finished a new design, my old parts ended up in the cache box.

  • this article would be more helpful if they included info on how its spread... a grapic that suggests phishing and melicious website is kinda weak sauce.

  • I like the Concept L best

    all of them are more intersting the US money. Fuck Andrew Jackson.

  • what don't I do.... some days... I tell you. My job is Systems Administrator

  • what a great article! a breath of fresh air and I suspect that in writing it, the author just added themselves to a list....

  • IMO AI would probably do the job of CEO better than a human. It wouldn't be as greedy and would be happy with any growth while being humble enough to make decisions that might be personally embarrassing

  • funny... i expected IT workers to be in that list but we're not. AI couldn't do my job but it could be my boss and that frightens me.

  • I listen to a lot of music and I can't honestly tell you what he sounds like. I don't know any of his stuff except what is in the tabloids.

    hell, at least Ted Nugent has some credit in the music industry outside of tabloid news

  • ol butt-fumble... but assaulting a delivery driver at 12:30 in the morning is not good

  • i think the saints are still ranked too high

  • Where I live, you can find most of the major brand named luggage at the discount stores. My wife and I got some aluminum carry on luggage last year for less then half the cost of new, because it was probably a last years model or something. (from TJ Maxx)
