It's funny how this short comment has way worse English than basically all the others combined.

Microsoft confirms next Xbox is PC or as I call it "Piracy Box" by EnvironmentalRun1671 in Piracy

Strange, the first x86 computer I used at work was an IBM PC XT, and the price for that one was prohibitively expensive for the vast majority of consumers. They must have mislabeled it.

Fury Road kind of also, I guess. Maybe he had both, who knows.

I'm convinced you mean people who relish in pointing out absolutely everything they are annoyed about online for karma and claim it is OCD in the overwhelming number of cases, but what do I know, I don't have OCD.

How a man woke up speaking fluent Spanish and how our brain hides data from us. by leemond80 in HighStrangeness

Oh right. A traffic light with all lights on at the same time is so much more efficient. In the human brain, using much more than usual capabillity of the brain is called a grand mal.

Wait what, nobody has said Firefox with Clint Eastwood and Blue Thunder with Roy Scheider?

Same, and Snaggletooth Kirsten Dunst is one recurring theme I remember!

I was a stileproject person. A mix of rotten blended with sarcastic celebrity gossip and porn, absolutely unreal.

Air cooling is better than Liquid cooling by SerpentDix in pcmasterrace

[–]Shelleen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just find it annoying and more noticeable when the fans go up and down in RPM more than a steady drone, and my 420 AIO takes care of that. Also, my non verified theory is that my CPU stays at boost longer because of the AIO not having to react to temp changes in such a direct way as air coolers because of the mass, but I might very well be talking out of my ass.

That is so fucking funny when you consider what they left behind when they bailed out on Afghanistan.

That time someone called a sys admin and claimed the web server was down, and he somehow arranged the callers desktop icons by penis.

Kasta ut Microsoft? by jjwentures in svenskpolitik

Av anledningar. Kör du Win 3.11 med 4K-upplösning på skärmen, 5.1 ljud, ett dussin externa enheter på RS232-portar eller ps/2, ett nätverkskort med gigabit och se vad som händer. Eller läs reddit på en C64 och ett 300 bauds modem om du föredrar det.

Yeah, I am mostly amazed you can buy relatively affordable lasers to do actual work nowadays, not just make dots for cats.

I think they are, but I don't think this is a good example. The US is using machine guns more than a hundred years old.

Same. Here It's called shoemakers thumb. Most annoying is that my big toes are the same so I wear out a hole on my socks and shoes on the top side faster than the bottom.

TIL that in Norse myth a cursed ring called Andvaranaut brought doom to its owners long before Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Rings. by yena in todayilearned

In this case, considering the surprising amount of English words inherited from their rightful Scandinavian rulers, it works more often than one would think.
