@skinnylatte Dropping in to agree with this point:
> The food is similar enough but different. Nothing tastes quite right.
My wife says this all the time, as someone who's recently been granted the same privilege of the plastic card that says "you're free to move around now"; we can get Pakistani take-out in this town, but we have to drive 30 miles over the tops of the hills to get to Punjabi food.
She just recently got back from a couple months Back East, now she's able to "revenge-stay-with-family" after eight years without extended stays, so I have second-hand experience of how this feels.
@kudra @DoomsdaysCW Soon after typing it, my hyperactive subconscious began bothering me, but my ever so lazy conscious brain argued that people were re-posting it, so it must be right.
My subconscious is doing the "I told so so" dance now, and wishes we would drive to Las Vegas.
@PurpCat @RustyCrab @meso @VIPPER @blaaablaaaa @adachi @IlDuWuce @sally @jihadjimmy yeah i get nothing from it being free but i need it working right.My mediakek chip doesn't work right.
@trezzer You're probably right.
My memory about the boing ball logo adoption wasn't clear, so I checked Wikipedia and found there reference to Escom here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga#Marketing
However, the article linked as citation doesn't even mention Escom! Someone should edit that paragraph, possibly citing a better source.
My wife told me I need new jeans because my old jeans are too big on me.
Didn’t believe her because I’ve gained weight, not lost weight.
So she asked me to go to Old Navy and try on jeans, and she’s right.
My waist has shrunk by two sizes since last year.
When I was 215lbs, I could barely fit in size 38 jeans. Now I’m 225lbs and fit in size 36 jeans.
My last point is not that I don't care about being right.
My point is that I have ADHD and am blessed/cursed with the ability to hyperfocus. If I want to understand something better, I will find out about it on my own.
And I won't just find it, I will chase after and not stop until either it or I die of exhaustion.
If I am wrong that's probably because I don't care much about that particular topic, and your unsolicited input will not change that. If I am seeking your expertise you will know.
