McDouble: $1. $4 gets you 4 burgers. I can't eat 4 burgers. $4 gets you 2 burgers and the largest fry size available. I can't eat all that either. You must be buying soda. Your problem isn't eating burgers and going to McDonald's, it's drinking empty soda calories and paying extra to get fat.
Bananas rot in 5 days. So unless you have the time and gas money to go to a grocery store over and over, they aren't nearly as cheap as you'd think. I go grocery shopping once every 2 months, saving a lot of gas money. Actually, I get it delivered, paying a delivery fee that comes with gas credit points that end up paying itself. But yeah. The one week with bananas is a nice week. Otherwise, I'm driving, which currently costs $1 per 3.75 miles for me, not counting car repairs.
how the fuck do you spend $7 on one person at McDonald's? I eat there almost every week and can't get more than $3 or $4 down. And I have a huge appetite.

Diet matters more than exercise, and studies have shown that, in the long term, people who exercise are no more likely to keep off weight. It's controversial because we've been taught otherwise by those trying to sell us exercise equipment and gym memberships.
Hhahahahahahah oh man that sounds horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tar xcvf.. yea, I don't even know what the options mean, my fingers just spit them out. For the most part I'm actually a ZIP'er (RIP Phil Katz), or, if i want to split it to multiple files, RAR'er. I rar stuff to quarter-dvd-sized chunks a lot.
Yea, that definitely adds another layer of difficulty. Still, I'd be happy for THAT to be my problem, compared to "have tape drive; can't get data off of it". There are pro-recovery services out there that do tapes. I've considered it. It's only 250M. How expensive could it really be?
Good question. I'm not positive, but I don't think they were a mountable image. They were images of the contents of an entire physical harddrive that, technically, had 0 live files on it (i had moved the files off instead of copied: another lesson learned), and thus had no FAT table pointing to any actual boundaries between individual files. GetDataBack had limited success, but you still had to root through thousands/millions of files, all of which no longer have their proper directory heirarchy. So you also had to play needle in a haystack. I also loaded tons of it in text editors manually searching for search terms. My wife goes away once a year and on several occasions I spent hours trying to get what I wanted out. Glad strings finally fond some of it.
I have tape-backup-data I've tried to retrieve unsuccessfully too. I thought when my Grandad died and I inherited his working DOSbox with a tape drive in it, that i'd finally be able to get my WWIV BBS source code, but nooooooooooooooooooooooo. No use.
My most traumatic crash in my life was also a 4G drive in the 90s. I only managed to just recover some files (I had images of the harddrives that all the files were moved FROM prior to the crash, it was a brand new HD) in the past few months thanmks to @CLIMagic twitter account mentioning the use of 'strings' (which I have in cygwin) and me realizing, "yea, run strings on those HD images and maybe i'll find my text file of all the dreams [and things i can't mention here] i had in college". Finally got it 15 yrs later. Like last month.
The Adlib would typically only play ROL and CMF files (which I also collected a lot of from BBSes and still have, winamp plays some of them), which are basically MIDI files. The SoundBlaster let you work with actual samples (and had Adlib as a chip on the SoundBlaster).
Yea it was:) I was downloading music in the form of MOD, STM, and S3M tracker files at perhaps 100-300K a pop, but the first 'real' song on my computer was a 16 second Descendents song (I Like Food) that I digitized to VOC using my SoundBlaster original. A lot of people later told me I was the first person they knew to play a song on their computer, so I had bragging rights for awhile.
Part of the reason I used techies was actually to distinguish that in the 1980s, that's pretty much the only ones who were doing it. 1990s for the most part too, though Napster changed that at the very end.
Yea, mp3 was mid to late 90s. There was plenty of online pirating in the 80s, as well as a lot [more than now] of in-person pirating. I was online at 2400bps in 1988, and out of the 30 boards in my county, there were only 2 300bps ones left, and they were C64-run.
no they aren't. i've been in touch with plenty of tech and online people since the 1980s, and if anything, people pirate less now. more total bytes downloaded, maybe, but a lower percentage of [online/connected] people are pirating than ever in my 30-year view.
It's still not newsworthy period. We deny people all the time. If you're a canadian they may ask you if you have ever smoked pot. Not if you're ever convicted, simply if you've ever done it. If you answer yes, not only will they deny you, but they will sometimes put you on a list barring future entry. This happens all the time. It's not/. new, but it's not even news, really. It's American-centric biased reporting by only talking about it when it happens in another country.
If you really cannot comprehend the commonality between the two things, or the point I made about actual death levels not being immediately measurable, then you are too dumb for me to have a discussion with.
Okay, fine. I'll give you that. But you'll give me this:
According to a April 2006 report by the International Physicians for Prevention of Nuclear Warfare (IPPNW), entitled "Health Effects of Chernobyl - 20 years after the reactor catastrophe",[61] more than 10,000 people are today affected by thyroid cancer and 50,000 cases are expected. In Europe, the IPPNW claims that 10,000 deformities have been observed in newborns because of Chernobyl's radioactive discharge, with 5,000 deaths among newborn children. They also state that several hundreds of thousands of the people who worked on the site after the disaster are now sick because of radiation, and tens of thousands are dead
1) I don't, but many agencies do. 2) Pretty consistent. We've been sensitive about that kind of stuff since the cold war. 3) More than it's been prior. 4) It didn't just start now, but the usual answer is "it's not so simple as to be distilled to a soundbite sentence". The winds are quicker than the water. There was also a west coast infant mortality spike, but I can't say I've checked the research or remember which agency posted it; my memory's far from photographic. The internet is your friend.

Interesting. I'll try that out. Thanks. I didn't expect to learn about bananas here.
Hahahahaha! :)

Not based on telling someone verbally, they wouldn't.

I'm buddy with way more techies now than when I was a kid... And I do ask people.

Last I checked, ramming airplanes into things is a great way to troll a country into spending $1M for every $1 you spent.
at any point in the PAST. I meant to say PAST, obviously.
