Dude I'm fucking wheezing while having hotel breakfast. What is this style of humor called? It's like a perfect combination of all my worst fears somehow made hilarious.

It used to be a way bigger deal when computers were very memory scarce, if you needed to say, represent 1024 values, that means you'd use 10 bits or 2 bytes, the remaining 6 bits could be used to store other related information like flags but more often than not it would be waste (unused values that still have to be represented as 0s)

These numbers are pretty arbitrary nowadays but they still show up a lot in computing. They didn't choose 256 so they could represent it in a byte, the real reason is probably that groups larger than 256 can't realistically be managed by users.

That's my 2¢ anyways.

That's awesome, I love hearing stories like this. I was lucky to have access to a PC since I was about 8 years old and computer literacy is probably the most useful skill I have. Nothing teaches PC literacy better than pirating software with complex readmes lol or having to fix the family computer because you infected it with a virus. Had me stressing, looking at the task manager and searching for the origins of every .exe to find the culprit

I probably wouldn't let my son install a GPU until he's a bit older just because of the cost lol but it is simple enough for a teenager to do, I think.

The real take is to get kids into PC gaming from a young age. Kids are super patient with each other and now my kid is doing things like installing mods for games that he plays. It's also massively improved his reading which is mostly how I learned English myself.

At a certain point, money is not about wealth or what you can buy with it but rather about power. And in life's twists, those who amass a decent amount of wealth and power come to believe they are "chosen" because of how society treats them. The poors worship the rich. if we were living in a sane society, these amounts of wealth would be looked at disgustingly by society. Shit is beyond fucked and I don't think anything can unfuck modern society.

if these people were any kind of Christian they would be worried about the end of their mortal lives. Instead they are speedrunning everything Christ taught us NOT to be.

Is it though? Just kidding of course I know it is. You measure ass to tip right? Right.

What are you doing for the cause lol I love how it's so easy to talk big on the Internet. Are you burning down courthouses and shooting cops?

Have you noticed that the courts are ruling against Trump's fascist policies? Do you know what will happen if Trump continues to disobey lawful orders? It becomes lawful to disobey those orders.

I know it's fun to be a doomerist online but we're not at boiling point yet. It's getting hot and people are growing more sympathetic towards minorities and understanding that if there is no due process then anyone can be targeted, journalist, opponents, etc. until that happens at large most people are unbothered.

Captains cap

Used to work at a restaurant similar to Long John silver and quite literally yes, 90% of people that attended were very elderly. Fish restaurants seem to exclusively cater to old people. I personally don't like any fish

While this sounds nice police largely have no fear of consequence because qualified immunity and even threatening to do harm against a cop carries big consequences. The truth is that lawmakers need to step up and make it clear what they're doing is illegal, that way refusing an unlawful command or protecting yourself can be easily defended in court. Shooting a cop is only going to add fuel to the fire.

Lmao same here buddy.
