I almost choked on that one, good one. Meet the Krumps!

No kidding, I was doing my groceries and they were playing Zombie. I almost cried. She’s dead, I’m on the way, and that song that I used to dance to in dark industrial clubs is now accompanying me in the pasta sauce aisle.

Yes, but you still need to get rid of the old one, and arrange delivery of the new one.

I used to repair my washing machine because the parts (GE Filter-Flo) were easily available and a mildly competent chimpanzee can figure it out.

The front loaders need to be disassembled in the order they were built and are full of specific parts to each model and require re-sealing the tub. It’s a nightmare.

I buy new now.

We have 64 bit multi-core CPUs unconstrained by clock speeds, RAM, bus bottlenecks, instructions sets, addressing modes, registers, or storage speeds. Monitors are beyond visual resolution, graphics are pumped out at a rate of zillions and gazillions of 32 bit pixels per second. How can any software be anything less than instantaneous these days? How can this modern bloated AI-dreamt high-level sludge code be as slow as my Commodore 64 booting GEOS from a 5.25" floppy?

The mouse button shouldn’t even have time to bounce up from my finger releasing it and the screen should already be loaded.

there is no technology to detect secret tunnels in pyramids because of problem with magnetic field around it.

I just don’t understand how they jumped from version 7 to 24 …

Thanks for the summary.

It’s called Usenet.

Uh huh, but collecting Blurays is just silly I’ve been told.
