That’s when I’d put my “smart” phone in the toaster and go dust off the Nokia 3310

Thinkpad clitoris

I always called it the mouse nipple.

I hate key fobs, I have two cars both with massive fobs. I can’t keep both on my keyring if I’m planning to put my keys in my pants pocket. I also hate these stupid things are $200-300 to replace - even more at a dealer.

They don’t even make the car more secure or harder to steal. Get rid of them.

He is. His job is to wreck the USA and harm it’s allies. He gets to keep what he can embezzle from the country.

He’s only got a few years left. Might as well fuck everything up on his way out and be secured in history books.

I got banned from Reddit and I honestly don’t know why. I could get around it, but I took it as a positive thing being Canadian and Reddit being Reddit.

Whatever. I’m here now.

I think we’re in for some rocky times over the next few years, but I think the world will be better off with the USA knocked down a few pegs. They are too large and their general population is too easily swayed by nonsense.

The question is, will the population learn anything by being starved out or will they continue to blame anything but their own hubris?

Trump probably owed the money, Putin got a bunch of dirt on Trump via honeypots or documented illegal activity. I suspect now all Putin is saying is “you’re touchable. Play right or the daughter ends up in a rape camp in Siberia.”

Am I right or am I right?

Canada’s day-to-day culture is very American.

I wouldn’t say that. Yes, we consume American media but Canadians are more socially aware of their surroundings. Americans are very selfish. Crabs in a bucket mentality. Canadians, in general, consider the social body as a whole.

I’ve lived in both the US and Canada for extended amounts of time. Canadians are just better people.

I would not be surprised if Stephen Miller has recommended bringing back American blackface Minstrel shows.

I have a smallpox scar on the back of my arm and I didn’t even know it was there.

We got the shots in school and I have faint memories of the Jet Injector. Most scars of people my age are on the side of the arm up near the shoulder. I didn’t have one so for years I assumed I didn’t get the vaccine or my memory of it was wrong.

Then one day in the shower my girlfriend pointed it out. It’s around the backside of the arm and hard to see in a mirror - but it’s there.

I feel kind of special having it as it isn’t that common these days.

I’m the same age. I never knew anyone who had measles EXCEPT older people who told stories of it. I never knew anyone who had it whilst I knew them.

On the flip side, we attended chickenpox parties to get infected. Of course this was before the vaccination and knowing more about Shingles. All the folklore knew was one you get chickenpox, you never get it again and it’s better to have it as a child than adult.

Hang the pizza flag upside down just to make the point clear.

Sharing files isn’t that hard. I’m using Win10 pro so it’s as simple as right clicking a folder, selecting properties, selecting the Sharing tab, clicking the share button. Then select the user and the rights they have. Since it’s just media files over a local network I usually select “everyone” but only give them read only permissions.

I use to give read/write permissions but I’ve accidentally deleted files using the trackpad on the wireless (fat fingers). I figured read only is fine.

The added plus side to this method is I also have a monitor and computer in the bedroom (I’m an insomniac). From there I can access the same shared files on the “media server” computer.

To find the files on the network, open Run and put \name-of-computer and hit enter. A list of the shared directories will open and you can map these (right click and you’ll see the menu option) so they show up in “my computer”.

The only other thing you might have to deal with is the firewall in Windows. But there is a pretty easy option to allow file sharing in the local network.

And yeah, you need the right space for a projector. Start with an appropriate size monitor and upgrade as needed.

Also, the Win10 computer I’m using in the living room and bedroom are just really basic computers. They don’t need much power since they’re only playing movie and music files and sometimes a browser. You can find Lenovo ThinkCentre computers for dirt cheap and they’re tiny. These work really well.

My media server computer is actually one of my older desktop PCs with a hardware raid card and a bunch of drives in RAID1 array. RAID 1 is two drives mirrored so if one fails you don’t lose anything. I’ve been collecting moving and music files for 20+ years so I figured it was nice to have a little redundancy on my collection. But you could use anything and upgrade over time.

I have a projector hooked to a Win10 computer in my living room. I also have another computer on the network stuffed full of music and videos. I’ve shared these media folders as read only on the network. I use a small wireless keyboard and trackpad to drive it (Logitech K400). I play the video files in VLC. The music I usually just use winamp. Super simple.

In the past I’d tried using the media center servers like MediaPortal, Plex, etc. They’re pretty, but I found them to be more problematic than just browsing files in directory. I also watch youtube stuff from time to time so I just open a browser on the WIn10 computer.

The girlfriend sometimes gets a Netflix account for a few months at a time and we watch via a browser instead of using a smartTV app.

I’ve been doing this for years and it works well for us.

You can download all the old Netscapes here - http://home.mcom.com/archives/

I found Mosaic 1 here - https://winworldpc.com/product/ncsa-mosaic/1

Going from Netscape 1 to Netscape 2 which supported animated gifs. What a day that was!

I don’t think the old rules will apply much longer. Trump is playing a game the normal US government have never had to deal with. By the time everyone gets up to speed, Trump will have purged anyone that could have done something.

I think the USA is lost at this point. Damaged beyond repair unless the anti-coup happens soon.
