Hahah, no, but reordering 200+ cards was just a pain in the ass.

My first coding class was Cobol and we used punch-cards.

(Side story, nothing strikes a feeling of dread more than the sound of cards being shuffled behind you.)

I used to use a plain text system, "encoded" in such a way that only I knew what the actual password was, and I kept it on Google Keep.
But that for harder and harder to manage, coupled with, if I were to get run over by a bus, no one else would be able to access my accounts.

Now I've been using Dashlane for a few years. Not just for passwords, but secure notes as well.

Works seamlessly on all of my devices and zero complaints.

I did Chicago to Dallas and back.
Never again. On the way down I had coach seats only and the trip was about 20 hours. Trying to sleep in those seats was hell.
The moment I got off the train, I walked to the ticketing desk and immediately upgraded to a sleeper for the return. "That will be an extra $400, sir." Don't care, just do it.

The sleeper was slightly better in that I got to stretch out, but actually sleeping wasn't as restful as I thought it would be.

The number of delays while waiting for freight trains was the worst. Before arriving into Dallas, you could see the city. We were 15 minutes away from arriving into the station, but had to sit and wait for about 90 minutes. I could have gotten off and walked and gone back for my bags later.

I did meet some nice people, as you're forced to sit with others in the dining car when you're traveling alone since there's only so many seats. And the food was better than expected. That was probably the only real plus.

Funny how surgeons don't seem to have the problems this flyer describes.
And I better not open this person's closet and find a single scarf.

How anyone can still believe this shit just confounds me.

Well played, friend. Well played.

I've said for years, if it weren't for Halloween, the Christmas season would start in August.

Can't say I feel bad at all.

I had a Sanyo SCP 7400 (clamshell) for a number of years during the mid-2000s and it was solid as a rock. Loved that phone.

I wore a standard wristwatch all the time until about 25 years ago. I began noticing that I was conscious of feeling something on my wrist and I couldn't stand it.
I then carried a nice pocket-watch around for a while until I got my first cell phone.

It isn't "bad", as it does have a purpose. It's just fucking annoying to work with.

This right here. Reddit started with very general based topics and only later did smaller niche subs take off.

Lemmy will get there. It's just a matter of time and it's only been a few months since the Great Reddit Migration of '23.
By this time next year, or maybe 18 months out, once instances become normalized and settled, with user tools to help find and organize them, Lemmy will then start to cause large dents in Reddit's user base.
