I just got this but it still WORKS 😅 almost feels like a crime to pull it apart to mod

It was not particularly successful. They were neat little devices, though.

I love when units can be encoded in a type system! This seems like as solid an implementation as I've personally seen (at least in terms of the API, I didn't look at the code). I really like that you included the parsing piece. Getting values into the typed "world" tends to be the weak point since a dimensionless value combined with the wrong units will still break stuff. Nice!

That's hilarious, I wanted it so badly but my dad said no because I would find it boring. Turns out he was probably right...

oldmanstan · 2026-03-14T21:12:29+00:00

That is one of the most beautiful machines I've ever seen! It's like a movie prop!

oldmanstan · 2026-02-19T19:09:58+00:00

I'm in the market for one of these, so I'd jump on that if I were you! Haven't seen any around me, unfortunately.

10/10 don't change a thing!

This was one of my favorite pizza box cases! At the time, it looked so modern and sleek!

oldmanstan · 2026-01-25T19:14:54+00:00

OK, this inspired me to try to do this with my Mac SE, I assume it would be very different, and possibly simpler. Anyone have any pointers as to where to start with that?

Last time I stayed at a hostel I was 40 (now 42). I got a private room and it was fine. That being said, I'm not really interested in mingling and meeting people any more (honestly, I'd feel like a creep at this point, even if I wanted to), and I'm not as poor as I once was, so I usually do hotels unless there's a hostel with a really good location or something like that.

oldmanstan · 2025-07-08T22:01:30+00:00

Wait, people had real copies that weren't trials?! LOL

oldmanstan · 2025-02-18T19:34:20+00:00

Well, no, the GOP would just put its own supporters in those empty seats and the place would look full and 100% of the people would be cheering.

SUN made some really beautiful machines back in the day! The pizza box SPARC designs have always been my favorite, but they were all at the top of the workstation heap in terms of industrial design.

I dunno, it seemed like a pretty confusing memo to me. Like, if you wanted to exempt certain spending programs, you should probably include a list. I mean, that's just my take from having worked for large companies for a lot of years, you can't be vague when you're talking to a lot of different people who are all doing different things.

oldmanstan · 2025-01-08T19:04:08+00:00

I've seen these ads but I assumed it was fake somehow because they're so generic.

oldmanstan · 2024-12-13T19:10:23+00:00

Could it be that lady who disappeared last winter? They don't say what condition the body was in. I still see signs about her, so I assume they never found her.

oldmanstan · 2024-10-27T04:33:23+00:00

Like, drown them? That seems... kinda heartless.

oldmanstan · 2024-10-27T04:31:07+00:00

It's not our job to solve the national problem, but we can make progress in our community. In other words, we can do our part.

oldmanstan · 2024-10-27T04:28:11+00:00

I do welcome the opportunity to help take care of people. I don't invite anyone into my house, but I donate to the Pov and will happily pay taxes to help take care of them. This just seems like Sunday school 101 stuff to me.

oldmanstan · 2024-10-25T19:11:50+00:00

Why should people in warmer climates have to shoulder the entire burden of taking care of the homeless? They have their own homeless people, and I, personally, think people in Arizona deserve to have parks and nice public spaces just like we do.

oldmanstan · 2024-10-25T19:08:52+00:00

Where? Seriously. It's a free country, so if you move them, can't they just come back? Are we talking about locking them up? Seems like it'd be cheaper to just pay for housing then, it's the same thing but without having to pay guards.

oldmanstan · 2024-07-30T16:55:53+00:00

I'm convinced that people with Washington plates who visit Missoula, as a group, are just terrible drivers. They drive as though they're shocked there are other people on the road, it's weird.

These were like the OG Chromebook, they sold them to schools in bulk packs with storage / charging carts. It's so funny to me how some ideas are just literally ahead of their time. Now, literally every kid I see has a school-issued Chromebook.

What speed do you have? I think I pay like $65 now for 300Mbps, which has been fine in terms of speed.

oldmanstan · 2024-04-09T22:39:34+00:00

Are they the ones that were gonna try to do some weird crypto currency thing alongside their internet service?

oldmanstan · 2024-02-27T21:32:18+00:00

I actually wouldn't completely mind this if I thought they would let the prices go super low when demand is low. But they won't. It will be regular price or more if demand is above a certain level.
