I have questions

I agree with all of this, but I do have a bit of pushback- The account creation process, with the steps of create, verify, provide username to host, wait for invite, accept invite, pin to sidebar is enough of a barrier that it stops some people. I have a handful of guest accounts already setup and sorted that I toss out to interested people, and if they find it useful only then do I have them jump through the hoops of creating their own account.

Memory Express is your friend, especially in western Canada.

In a perfect world, right after his comments there should have been a hail of gunfire putting him down. You know, just to prove that europeans aren't vassal states.

Where I am it universally refers to a railroad company, Canadian Pacific.

Where’s the fun in building an Apple IIe if you use a flash drive instead of the hard drive?

Not to be that guy, but the Apple IIe didn't have a hard drive. External tape or floppy were your only storage choices. The real cool kids had two floppy drives, so you could pirate games directly disk-to-disk.

Thomas Midgley Jr is the same guy that invented leaded gas and also invented freon (chlorofluorocarbons). Imagine being the architect of not one but two of the greatest environmental calamities of the industrial age.

I humbly direct you towards the raw milk crowd

I quit caring a while back so I could be driving up the numbers.

I have two superpowers:

Mosquitoes don't find me delicious. When everyone else is getting hammered, they generally leave me alone. When I do get bit, the bites barely swell and they don't usually itch.

Rock star parking- Anywhere I go, I always check out immediately in front of the place I need to be. There's almost always an empty spot, and if there isn't there's someone just leaving that I pull into. I dunno how that helps me fight crime, but it sure would be useful if I were a bank heist getaway driver.

That was a very compelling speech that Representative Howell gave. That there were 40 that still voted in favourite after having the obviously dangerous language in the bill is kinda frightening.

I yearn for that one M1 Abrams in a column of them to focus its turret on the tribune as it passes.
