Slackware took like 40 3.5" double sided double density disks, and woe betide the poor soul who didn’t label them because the stack was a foot high and you damn well would get them mixed up.

When doing it from home I would frequently run into issues that required me to completely reinstall dos and Telemate to go back to usenet and get help, print the help and then take another stab.

Dos and Linux had different opinions about SCSI chain termination so this usually involved full cover off to move jumpers on the hard drives and sometimes irq jumpers on the motherboard to get the modem AND sound card working right.

Then the fact that to get online once you had slackware installed required you to write your own SLIP/PPP dialup scripts because every ISP was doing their own thing.

Honestly it was a fucking wonderful time. Many happy memories.

I love to see this for him

I declare timeout for him!

if you never sign up you’re excluded from a number of government jobs such as at the post office.

Under a new reimbursement program instituted last year, members of Congress may expense up to $34,000 in lodging and food costs while they are on official business in Washington DC.

i read it wrong, too!

there’s a new fast food drive through near me and if you buy a $13 burger with plastic they turn the little machine to you at your car window and expect you to enter a fucking tip.

I’m an overtipping bastard. I learned to tip from Steve Martin in My Blue Heaven. i love to tip.

I even tip at the weed store and the liquor store if they give me suggestions or any kind of service in addition to ringing me up.

YOU CAN SUCK MY DICK ASKING ME TO TIP IN THE GODDAMN DRIVE THROUGH!!!

I’m not eating there because the burgers are too expensive for how good they are ($5.50 for a plain kids burger come on) but even if I loved the food i’m not tipping for fast food.

k12.com offers free at home state schooling in all 50 states and will give you a computer if you need it and your states school system supports that. It’s not home schooling it’s the state curriculum taught by licensed teachers online and your kid takes the state tests. They are even qualified to join the local sports teams and such through some reciprocity thing.

Ooommggg why can’t men understand that there are many types of vulvas and just because this woman has… zooms in
