DM; -You're a barbarian, you can't cast spells.
B; -Oh yeah? I use my reaction to cast axe. In your face! Literally.

Well, not entirely a lie. We've gone from working 12-16 hrs/day, 6 days per week, to 8hrs/day, 5 days per week. From 99% to 5% of the population working to make food. But with the lesser need for manual labour in production, the service economy has increased to fill the hours.
I often wonder how the world would look if white collar jobs became as automated as blue collar jobs have become. Perhaps with AI we'll soon find out. The greater question, though, is who will buy the products when no one needs to work?

Very true, I listen to Audiobooks most days. I'm trying to get back to reading novels, have some old favourites on paperback I can't seem to find on audio.

Good choice. I still wake up in a cold sweat after a dream about my freelance days when some idiot with teen times my income calls me up in the middle of the night and I have to explain that CTRL is short for CONTROL and the ANY key is literally ANY KEY. *shivers*

No, much better. They're three LEGO figurines representing the Roman god Jupiter (right), his wife Juno (middle) and Galileo Galilei (left), flying to Jupiter on NASA’s Juno spacecraft.

The radicalised right is like "Oh noes, communism! Starvation! Gulag!" when the left gets a win, but when literal fascists win they're all "Ha ha, funny mustasch man go brrrr!".

Pro tip. Pull out the colour ink cartridge when you print black and white, or it will use it to "enhance" the print i.e. waste it. Also works when it refuses to print BW because of "no cyan".

Can confirm. I have an HP printer and the only way to get them to work is refusing the subscription and blocking it's internet access.
Don't buy an HP.

Red. Shows that ignore the existence of a substantial demographic, thus not being very convincing and having huge plot holes.
Green. Shows that portray a realistic demographic thus having a better plot.
Blue. Shows where heterosexual cis-people can't identify with the main characters.

Two years ago but whatever. It's a bit more than just moving a rock for no reason. First of all there's a racial slur associated with it, that students would use. Not cool. Secondly, it's not just a rock. It's a boulder!

... 300 baud modems connected through acoustic couplers accessing usenet.
I've watched overworked RAM catch fire in the dust of a neglected office 80386.
All those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain...
