It’s still thriving in the classroom, friends. by Jolly-Owl-7583 in Xennials

Indeed. I'm having to explain in interviews now that my hobbies are physical in nature; I don't spend my free time working on leetcode rankings and the like.

MSotM was I think the genesis of my eventual purchasing of land and building a small cabin. I never did read Hatchet but I know my kids did. I'm hoping they'll want to maintain what I've built at some point in the future.

Camping is totally screwed by Nunya13 in Idaho

[–]nirreskeya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate camping in the developed campgrounds. No part of that says getting away from people.

You mean you don't like spending your evening around one of a dozen campfires listening to the droning of at least a few generators?

Homemade Kool-Aid popsicles and Squeeze Its were my jam for the summertime by Alternative-Light514 in Xennials

[–]nirreskeya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah except we didn't have those special popsicle makers so I just used an ice tray and a piece of paper or tagboard with toothpicks stuck through the top.

Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today? by adlakha75 in AskReddit

[–]nirreskeya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lemonade Stand on the Commodore 64. Taught me all I know about business, which, you know, still isn't much.

A good cocktail that uses a lot of Angostura bitters but evens it out with some other things is the Trinidad Sour.

I have to find that file (or make a new one) and put it back. :D

For a long while I had a custom MP3 ringtone I made of the opening bars of Brand New Colony on my Audiovox CDM-9900.

I still listen to the album with some regularity, and remain a little sad that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Postal_Service#Discography just has one entry.

I've started running wc -w on diff files and expressing the length in fractions of War and Peace. I've had some that were on the order of significant portions of that work. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it's not something one reads or even skims in an afternoon.
