And it was always temporary!

I’ve had less fall out than I had cases where the screw stuck in the socket and it started unscrewing out of the motherboard that I just gave up on them altogether

Well, of course they are, but so is just about everything

Great thumbnail!

Dunno (or care!) about the rest of it. Kinda strange content for the technology community…

Wow, that’s amazing - thanks!

No, not at all - I think it’s hilarious! You’ve completely misread me

I was just curious as to why them (obviously we’ve got to pick on someone)

I’ll never turn down G&T, but more importantly, what did Belgium ever do to you? I’m just curious…

If you’ve got a spinning wheel of ‘who’s gonna get it today’ and Belgium came up, that’s fine, too

Well, I guess it is racist Wednesday for some of the planet currently, even if not my timezone …but why them?

Everything about marketing I absolutely despise. It’s all lies sowing a hunger within that their product will satisfy a need.

A bullet is too good for them!

And anyone who knows what they’re doing would have built in decent safeguards - obviously hindsight is a luxury here, but there’s a reason there’s a whole lot of checking that goes on when others are downloading update content over a hostile network… Input validation is a thing, and all that.

They just weren’t very mature on that front, and now we all got to laugh at them but everyone else made similar mistakes along the way, just most of them started their journey decades ago (thinking windows update, etc), so we forget about the learning curve they suffered through building a resilient process

Holy crap - get to the point!

Really? Wow…

Holy shit, you’re a madman

This is a great idea at first glance - I’ve certainly had a few usb sticks come apart on removal

It’s coming up in an odd way in the mountain biking community, where they talk about min-maxing.

The idea is minimum budget, maximum effect for that expense (what’s the best I can do with the bike I’ve got, rather than going the ‘full midlife crisis’/orthodontist approach of spending $15-25k on what’s basically the latest handbag bike).

Yeah, that’s fair

This guys thought process was so bizarre sometimes

Yes, floor time and getting into their world is real currency!

Show them tricks, teach them Rubik’s cubes or something. Kids love learning and novelty (not lectures: show, don’t tell!)

Even if it’s just grabbing a broom, holding it up and spinning around and getting dizzy - good, clean fun (until you throw up on them)

Eating ass and conducting ram raids, more like.

We’ve got our priorities where we like them

Under 20s only!

I love/hate those vomit copters, dizzy stick is a great name
