I’m Gen X and I agree with OP.

I’m afraid of drinking through a straw. I’m convinced (against all logic) that I’m going to inhale it and choke.

However, I recently started drinking through a straw again at my dentist’s recommendation, to protect my teeth from carbonation. I have a set of reusable metal ones. They don’t trigger my phobia at all. Maybe the texture makes all the difference.

Is that your own layout, or is it a scheme like QWERTY or DVORAK that I haven’t heard about?

Oh god, Net Send.

At one point it was my job to track down and upgrade old PCs that had been moved by users. To my delight, I found that Net Send was enabled on all the org’s devices. I had the bright idea to use it to pop up a message on the affected PCs asking them to call me and provide a location. I copied a script from an old website and modified it to work with a list of hostnames. It, uh, worked - but while I was testing my script I ran it without commenting out the line that sent the message to all devices on the subdomain.

I turned my phone off for the rest of the day.

The oldest building in this city is a two-room (originally) cottage that dates back to 1841. It’s not the first permanent structure built here, but it’s the oldest still standing.

The average adult skull has a capacity of around 1.2 litres, or five regular cups of coffee. Our buddy with the axe there should think about getting his insulated and capped. Even if he’s not carrying around his whole day’s supply, it’s gonna get cold fast.

“the police have no duty to protect you.”

I think it may be time to re-think how you do your nation-state-ing.

No, but it wouldn’t bother me if people I know IRL see them and recognise me. It’s happened a couple of times before (on Reddit).

All this time we’ve been keeping our true power hidden.

Also, if you mention Zealandia in New Zealand, people will look at you blankly and say “The bird sanctuary?”

That’s great! What’s Cosmic Alpha 2?

It was a panama hat woven from bamboo fibre that I bought at a fair to keep from getting sunburned.

That d100 has weird markings.

I may be forgetting about it.

Moral values. Some of the things I was taught were good in the 80s are now seen as evil and vice versa. I don’t think it’s the only time that’ll happen.

The only CLI editors I’ve used are VI and Nano. So my favourite CLI editor is Nano too.

I think it’s probably mostly that first thing. There’s only two-three websites I visit on the daily anymore. The rest isn’t worth it.

Could it be because fandom is made up of fans, the most argumentative people to exist?

Edit: after reading some of the other comments, that may not be it.

Could you mean the book by Homer the poet, The Odyssey?

I was thinking “Would I join you in a tiny building of scrap wood with walls made of chicken wire? Probably not.”
