Music, screaming in the car, and imaginary scenarios where I beat inanimate objects with a bat. Sometimes just imagining going full Office Space on something is good enough.

Brilliant. Taking a gay anthem and claiming it was never gay allows all the deeply closeted Trump supporters to enjoy the music that is in their blood without judgment. It’s truly a galaxy brained move.

I look back at pictures of myself at 25, when my hair was thinning pretty bad. And I really regret not shaving my head sooner. I love having a shaved head. I especially don’t like looking at my wedding photos. I have a nice round head, I should have been proud about it.

To be fair, with less people there wouldn’t be a housing crisis. And our carbon emissions would be lower.

I barely remember it, which is think is a compliment because it just worked! Never had any driver issues or temperature problems, didn’t demand too much power. It just did its job until I needed something more.

I have no idea what you’re talking about.

I don’t approve of shoplifting, but their cute new word makes me want to try it.

I built a PC in 2011 with an AMD Phenom II. Can’t remember which one, it may have been a 740. And I’m pretty sure a Radeon HD 5450 until FO4 came out in 2015 and I needed a new graphics card. Upgraded to a Radeon R7 240, and some other AM3 socketed CPU I found for like, $40 on eBay. By no means was I high end gaming over here. And it stayed that way until 2020, when I finally gutted the whole thing and started over. It ran everything I wanted to play. So I got like, 9 years out of about $600 in parts. That’s including disc drives, power supply, case, and RAM. And I’m still using the case. I got my money’s worth out of it, for sure. The whole time we were in our apartment, it was hooked up to our dumb TV. So, it was our only source of Netflix, YouTube, DVDs, and Blu-rays. It was running all the time. Then, I gave all the innards to my buddy to make his dad a PC for web browsing. It could still be going in some form, as far as I know.

I hate when people do that. Just stay on the sidewalk, you’re going to wear a path down in the grass.

I hope you have to point at the person for it to work, so they know it’s you.

A coworker gave me some THC laced stuff at work without warning me. So I’m sitting at my desk, when all of a sudden I start panicking. I feel weird. Is my heart stopping? I can’t move my arms. I start yelling. Other coworkers come to my aid. I tell them I can’t move my arms, while waving them wildly. They tell me I need to go to the hospital. The coworkers who dosed me said he’d take me, and they had to wheel me out to his truck in my desk chair because I said my legs didn’t work either.

In the car, he told me I can’t say anything about what he gave me, or we’d both be in huge trouble. So, I freak out more. We get to the ER, and I just don’t say anything. He’s talking for me. In the room, they give me some Valium and I calm down. The nurse thinks we are a couple. He’s a 40 year old dude, I was a 23 year old dude. Too freaked out still to correct her.

Next day, go back to the office like nothing happened.

I laughed uncontrollably at this. I’m really glad I didn’t see this last night while I was high, I probably would have had a huge asthma attack. It’s gold.

That bastard will never be the banker in Monopoly again for the rest of our lives.

I hope so, too. But you really can’t do much with it without a disk drive. Even Bill there has the expansion unit. Just the computer itself with the tape drive is a horrible way to live. The tape drive can’t play assembly games like the cartridges or floppies, just basic. And of the other popular 8 bit computers of the time, the 99 had the slowest basic implementation. Like, truly a slog to write or play anything with. I found myself never wanting to use it, and so I let it go. It was gorgeous, though.

I just sold mine this summer. Complete in box, with a tape drive and a bunch of games.

Oh, yeah we do. I love ice water even while shoveling snow.

Alien Resurrection. 3 was the David Fincher one on the prison planet.

My grandpa got a pool table in his basement in a very similar stair condition. To this day, I have no idea how beyond the fact that he had a come along tied to a 4x4 across the basement door. We just left it down there when we sold the house.

I’m concerned about OP’s ability to upgrade a drive based on the nature of the question. I’d like to also throw in some help with cloning a drive.
