Hahah, no, but reordering 200+ cards was just a pain in the ass.

My first coding class was Cobol and we used punch-cards.

(Side story, nothing strikes a feeling of dread more than the sound of cards being shuffled behind you.)

Say what you want about the movie. I’m more pissed that it’s been 30 years.

I did Chicago to Dallas and back.
Never again. On the way down I had coach seats only and the trip was about 20 hours. Trying to sleep in those seats was hell.
The moment I got off the train, I walked to the ticketing desk and immediately upgraded to a sleeper for the return. “That will be an extra $400, sir.” Don’t care, just do it.

The sleeper was slightly better in that I got to stretch out, but actually sleeping wasn’t as restful as I thought it would be.

The number of delays while waiting for freight trains was the worst. Before arriving into Dallas, you could see the city. We were 15 minutes away from arriving into the station, but had to sit and wait for about 90 minutes. I could have gotten off and walked and gone back for my bags later.

I did meet some nice people, as you’re forced to sit with others in the dining car when you’re traveling alone since there’s only so many seats. And the food was better than expected. That was probably the only real plus.

Can we all just calm, the fuck, down!?

This right here. Reddit started with very general based topics and only later did smaller niche subs take off.

Lemmy will get there. It’s just a matter of time and it’s only been a few months since the Great Reddit Migration of '23.
By this time next year, or maybe 18 months out, once instances become normalized and settled, with user tools to help find and organize them, Lemmy will then start to cause large dents in Reddit’s user base.

This looks like an IRL Far Side comic.

Having your own router/access point can’t be stressed enough.

And, you don’t even need their modem. Sure it’s an additional outlay of cash, but buying your own modem gets you a nice upgrade and no worries about someone connecting to the Xfinity access point that’s bundled in their equipment.

nun?

Ugh, I once made the mistake of not checking what I was ordering at a bar.
Sour pumpkin beer. I know that many people like sours, and I like some pumpkins, but together, I’m out.

I’ll use Google maps to check for traffic on my route before leaving, but that’s all.

If I’m going somewhere I’ve been more than two or three times, I don’t use GPS.

I think of all the times I did that working on my cars years ago.
It was just something you did and no one ever even blinked. Old oil, gas, brake fluid, etc, right down the storm drain.

Now I think back and shudder.
