Stainless steel wine glasses. My SO keeps breaking her glass ones.

Outside the box solution: don't age restrict access to porn. Every teenager is going to get it anyway.

The fibreglass lifting body immediately makes it more than your basic drone. Granted it's not exactly rocket science, but you still need to get the shape right, make a giant mandrel, fit all those panels and doors together nicely. And then you need to figure out a production line that makes it cheap enough to mass produce them -- after all, they get exploded.

Just imagine they used all of those tools and skills to make sailboats instead. Or still in the drone form-factor, have them circle events with a 5g cell relay on them or something. War sucks but it pays salaries, sadly.

Man, what a waste of engineering talent. These drones are actually super cool and they're being used to suicide bomb. Ffs

The persian engineering teams should mass defect to Korea and go work at Samsung or something.

12 years from now, this post will be referenced by Merriam Webster as the origin of a common phrase

Also, CVS, cvsup, both of which I've used in my early Linux years.

And fossil -- which is the revision control system sqlite uses and I kind of like :)

I actually miss SVN. It had a lot of issues, yes, but the cognitive barrier was so much smaller. When I have a merge error in git, I basically just delete my repo and make a new one...

Amazon: 1994

eBay: 1995

Match.com: 1995 (same parent company as tinder)

Hotmail: 1996 (MS owned in 1997)

Google: 1998

PayPal: 1998 (eBay owned in 2002)

If you look at the dot com bubble, there's a lot of corporate colonization in the 90s. Many of them didn't survive their stock crashing in 2000 (pets.com is a good example). Some things were not able to be launched until the internet infrastructure supported it properly (YouTube, for example), so yes some things do date to the 00s. But largely, by 1998, the internet was already on its current trajectory.

The reason Google was so disruptive at the time was that they didn't charge websites to get listed -- it was a business model that relied on actually finding what people were searching for. The fact that this model was disruptive at the time tells you how corporate it was even by then.

You look like you like rigatoni. Perhaps you'd be interested in trying SmellFresh Fabric softener. It helps keep your knees bent while you use the tobacco masher.

How's kbin doing? Granted they federate with Lemmy so it's like asking about an instance. But not quite the same

Pro-tip: sort All by New Comments. Yes, if you refresh, you get repeat content, but you also find the unusual stuff and the repeated stuff is where the conversations are happening.

In my D&D campaign, I play a time wizard. It's fun to drop lines like this. I think my DM sometimes runs with it, making my statements self-fulfilling prophecy so that I appear to be able to foresee the future.

"The reality principle does like to disabuse us of our whims." (No one at my table has seen Steins;Gate and it is a fantastic source of content for a time wizard haha)
