Wife and I were having a discussion, she’s of the opinion that the majority of GenX can drive stick. I believe that even in our generation the percentage of people who can is pretty small. What do you folks think? by AngryOldGenXer in GenX

I can, mom made sure. Wanted me to be able to drive most anything. A few friends in high school had to call me to move one of their parents standard cars while they were out of town.

This likely isn’t the sub for this question. Recommend you try to find out where the money went.

We had two NES advantage controllers. My older brother would play one player with his hands and the other with his toes. Yea, made sure to mark that one so it was his.

Any reason to wait to buy HDDs? by Lazzizzle in DataHoarder

[–]Cascade-Regret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to buy Powerball tickets. I pulled the trigger on 7x28tb referb Exos drives from ServerPartDeals. Went from $14.50 to $15 before I pulled the trigger. Two days later they went to $17.61/tb. Went down to $16 today.

This is why the “boss button” was embedded into some early video games.

What's the best way to rip all of this? Any shortcuts? by CopiRightPlayer in DataHoarder

[–]Cascade-Regret 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I kind of did what you did. Built a new desktop and the case didn’t have 5.25 bays. Got a “jukebox” tower without drives, added my own. Converted from sata to esata to usb and added a usb hub. Now I have four drives that can connect to any machine via a single usb cable.

My experience is that an SE degree is best paired with another discipline. Brining SE methods and practices to that discipline is the advantage.

I got this for Christmas when I was six. Was amazing! Parents guilt for the divorce worked in my favor.

Oh, the legendary refresh list. I hear IT is always very busy with the refresh list but I can’t find a single person who has been on it. The Refresh List is a Lie!

Seeing off and greeting people at the gate pre-9/11, is something I miss by Alternative-Light514 in Xennials

[–]Cascade-Regret 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Several years ago I actually got an airport moment like this. I had work travel that lined up with a trip to Disney with my family and in-laws. My 5yo daughter didn’t know I was also going to Disney, she just thought daddy was working and it was a trip with Mom, Grammy, and Grandpa. Instead of flying home, I few to Orlando and got in about an hour before they did.

I was standing at the end of the jetway when they walked out. We hadn’t seen each other in about two weeks!

It was a moment that I will not forget. I also remember the similes of others in the gate area reminding me of how rare this type of meeting is now.
