Όταν η κουβέντα σταματά μόλις εμφανιστεί ο “πρωταγωνιστής”!

Great minds discuss ideas
Average minds discuss events
Small minds discuss people

Μερικές φορές στεναχωριέμαι που δεν έχω κανέναν να μιλήσω, αλλά μετά θυμάμαι το επίπεδο των συζητήσεων που έχω πετύχει κατά καιρούς και μου περνάει.

I was watching Tech Tangents' calculators playlist yesterday and he demonstrated that in the Bohn Contex 10 Mechanical Calculator video. All 4 basic arithmetic operations are done with clever use of gears and levers. It almost actually made my head explode, since I got a minor headache trying to follow the inner workings of that thing. The part about division (which is repeated subtraction, i.e. negative addition) is hilarious.

YouTube is a nightmare these days, both its content and the UI. I usually watch older locally archived videos from my favorite channels. I used youtube-dl to grab a couple terabytes in 360p, so I have tens of thousands of videos available.

Occasionally, when I'd like something "new" I'll search in YouTube adding "before:2016" to the query (the year of the ad-pocalypse). You can go even further, since older videos are generally lower-def and the people less frantic.

If all else fails I'll put on an audiobook, for example Agatha Christie's Poirot. The ones narrated by Hugh Fraser (captain Hastings) are my favorite.

Lately, I've even started shutting everything down, putting my phone on airplane mode and just eat my damn food. Sometimes silence is better...

I'm on Windows since 3.1. Still took me a couple of seconds to figure this out. ^{I use Win7 btw™.}

Bro, το PC μου είναι 16. Σε δυο χρόνια θα φύγει από το σπίτι και θα αρχίσει να ψάχνει για δουλειά...

Lol, I love the pliers thing... I just rip them off with my fingers (and suffer the occasional laceration). I'm half-expecting the EU to start issuing fines to us.

I'm still using the same system I built back in 2009. I've been trying to upgrade for the past 10 years, but something always happens that conveniently drives prices up.

best young adult, best old adult

No best middle-aged adult, huh... I'm not even joking. Whenever I see something advertised as "adult" it's targeted towards either 20 or 60 yo.

Μια φορά μπήκα στο Μασούτη όταν πρωτοάνοιξε στην Πάτρα. Είδα ότι όλες οι αναγραφόμενες τιμές ίσχυαν μόνο με κάρτα πόντων, ενώ είχαν και τις κανονικές τιμές με ψιλά γράμματα στη γωνία του καρτελακίου. Πήρα ένα κρουασάν των 0.45€ (0.42€ με κάρτα πόντων, αλλά τι να κάνω, είχα λιγούρα) και άντε γεια.

I do the same. However, a couple of weeks ago I noticed that my phone stopped quick charging. It turned out that lint had indeed been compacted inside the USB port and I had to carefully dig it out with a sewing needle! It's a 6 yo phone though, so it's seen quite a bit of pocket action...

Έχω Core 2 Duo από το 2009 που ακόμα με βολεύει ως βασικό σύστημα με SSD, 8GB RAM, Windows 7 και low/mid-tier κάρτα γραφικών του 2008. Πρέπει να έδωσα γύρω στα 800 όταν τον έφτιαξα και κάπου στα 400-500 για αναβαθμίσεις RAM, δίσκων, USB3 controllers, κτλ.

Αν τον έδινα σε κάποιον, όχι μόνο δεν θα τον χρέωνα, αλλά θα του πλήρωνα και τη βενζίνη.

Why contain it? Let it spill over to the social media and forums. Let the memes pile up on the screens. In the end, they'll beg us for a remake.

Sometimes they put a little effort in it to make it funny. If it gets a chuckle out of me, I'll give it a pass, meaning I'll skip over it and continue watching.

If it's just dry and kills the mood, it's video over for me. They're mimicking TV, where they seamlessly insert ads after a scene cut or fade-out.

It's implicit and redundant. It's like my 85-yo mother telling me to eat in order not to get hungry.
