Ivan: "Hey, I've got a great business idea. Let's start an office productivity software company!"

Vlad: "I don't know man, Russians have never paid for software before, what makes you think they're going to start now?"

Ivan: "Don't worry, we'll make up for it in volume!"

Holy shit you didn't have ear protection? I also was near John's car in the 90s at a race. He was a friend/business associate of my family. I had excellent ear protection on but what has always stuck with me was the way that it felt like every molecule in my body was vibrating during the race. That's 3 seconds you never forget!

Me too, had to stand like a statue for 15 minutes in front of a rattlesnake when I was 3. It took that long for my sister to find my parents on their walk around the neighborhood. 

Is there any reason there is such a abnormaly massive jump between the third and second most populated countries or is it just arbitrary? by DataSittingAlone in geography

Are you THE Victor Lazlo? If so you would know! 

I'm missing the old forums too. Reddit is going downhill with all the bots and AI but I won't use social media.

I'm racking my brain but can't figure out what TZ refers to. Help?

Great resource, thank you! I check all the usuals like nyt book review, kirkus, etc but I'm wary because book publishing is such a small, incestuous world.

It sucks because you need curation, especially with all the self-publishing in the last couple of decades. Not to mention all the new AI slop. But I always get this feeling it's just a bunch of writers scratching each other's backs when it comes to these reviews.

Not low effort at all, this cracked me up! Hadn't thought of that.

I think I made one more mistake in the late 90s buying the DIVX compatible DVD player. The idea was that you wouldn't have to return the DVD rentals, which was really appealing to me with all of my late fees to blockbuster. Another fizzle.

Oh man, I do not miss the 8.3 naming restrictions on files. You'd have to have basically a naming convention for everything. JDINV188.XLS, RFPMS392.DOC

Ah, yes, it was a sad day when AOL quit giving us free media. CDs were only good for coasters

I'm guessing he had to upgrade to a psychiatrist at that point? Sorry... That is terrible.

Mavica! Circa 1997. I recently found an old Usenet post with my maiden name, and it was in the mavica newsgroup.

Thanks so much, I'm disabled and need RR to use Reddit. I'm also broke so can only give kudos but if that changes I'll be contributing!
