Ok I agree in theory.tyat said I rented a room when younger. In a house that has 2 other older men in the house.

Yeah roommates suck. But I couldn't afford the rent I pay now if they were not there. I was on a month to moth basis for contract and it was a room in a house instead of an apartment means something.

Renting a room isn't that bad, renting nightly is....

I've told this story before it's funny so I'll repeat it... It was the early 2000s and I heard a song on the radio where a man made a bunch of funny sounds with his voice and the only lyrics I remembered were "I'm the scat man". I was interested to see what else he made...

I went on to kazza and search "scat man", found a video I assumed was a music video and downloaded... Several hours later (56k modem)...

My childhood was lost forever.

Several years ago mountain dew had the following prices

20 oz - $2

1 liter - $2

2 liter - $2

1.5 liter - $1

It wasn't a sale, they had these prices on several stores for over a year.

I had a Microsoft support scammer once... I let him in to my system too..well not really.

I quickly spin up a quick fresh install of slack ware Linux in a virtual machine that didn't even have x11 never mind wine installed. When it was up I told him a friend uses something called tellynet (aka telnet but I was playing dumb) to help me on the computer.

He telnetted in and could not understand why any of his malware wasn't working...

The worst code I have ever seen, the truly horrible stuff that gives me nightmares was written by myself six months ago.

Why does everyone jump to murder?

"what did you do on purge night?"

"I took everything from the local Walmart and now drive a fararri on weekends and a Maserati on week days."

Have the same story but from two different perspectives!

I don't know why this is a thing but if I tap the back of my pixel 6 three times in rapid succession it begins to play my audio book on audible.

From what I can tell audible has to be open but doesn't need to be the app on the screen(for example I can start and stop it while typing this post). Also the phone has to be "on" (meaning the screen is displaying but doesn't need to be unlocked.

Is this just my phone or dies it happen on other people's phone too?
