White. That’s what “pure” means. They wan’t to keep out anyone that isn’t white.

Anker Ergo Optical Mouse. I use the wired one in the office and the wireless one at home (since batteries can be hard to come by in the office). It’s $5 cheaper for the wired one and Amazon puts them on sale fairly regularly.

It’s the #1 reason people file for bankruptcy, so yes it’s a major problem.

Too much time hunched over his phone. Like the twelve-year-old he is.

It’s a fantastic story and I highly recommend the book (and audiobook). But that animation looks so bad, it’s distracting. No so sure about this.

Two words: Black Mirror.

Well, Frankenstein is considered the first Sci-Fi novel and it has some horror elements to it, so I’d say those two have gone hand-in-hand since the get-go.

I can second the “Here’s what I’ve tried thus far...” tactic. As a senior dev in our office, it saves me a huge amount of time if I know what you’ve already done and I can see what you’ve missed (if anything) and where to go next.

Maybe. I left in 1997. I was the original “BRI” (they started recycling the IDs as the old crew left).

Tucson. I don’t remember if Ogden (or any other call centers, outside of the original in Vienna) had TechLive.

If you have seen Shaun of the Dead and want to dig into the script a little, check out the Lessons from the Screenplay episode on it.

That was TechLive. It started as a Forum with “Rows” and the TLAs (you guys) had the lower rows and the paid employees (Tech Reps) manned the higher rows. As the years went by, we replaced the rows with individual IM windows. I don’t know if my record was ever broken before they shut it down, but it was interesting.…

Eons ago, I worked for TechLive at AOL. It was real-time chat tech support. Sneak Peek would have been a godsend. The average user types so....fucking....slowly. Of course, we’d compensate by have like eight windows open at a time to help people. And 90% of the questions were handled by macros I’d written. Easiest…

That would assume they could/would admit the mistake. What I’m learning from the 2016 election is that people refuse to admit they fucked up and will double-down on it, just to save face.

I had an Indian coworker that had become a US citizen and was a hard-core Trump supporter. We’d argue and argue until I finally said, “You know you’re not actually welcome at their table, right? No matter how much you support them, you’ll never be part of their club.” He had no response and he stopped arguing.

It’s almost...almost mind you...like they’re completely incompetent and shouldn’t be trusted with anything more important than walking the dog. But I like my dog too much to even trust them with that.

Hey George, you wanna dial back the moon-shaming?

The fact that Sloan and Garak never went toe-to-toe (so to speak) is quite possibly the greatest missed opportunity in all of Star Trek.

Stay shitty Mississippi.

Agreed. I think they would have been more successful if they’d made it a sequel (the daughters of the original team) and had them trying to live up to the legacy of their fathers. It would have honored the original material and been a good jumping off point for further adventures.
