If people only knew how many 23 year old college grads who spend their weekends getting high at music festivals and have never paid taxes in their life, who have access to thousands if not millions of plaintext files like this.... Source: I was one, and so were many of my friends. Also talked to many Software Dev's at music festivals who told me the same thing.

Poor fish.

Internet would be dead the next day.

Sucks to be smart seeing how dumb some people are

Yeah nobody forcing anyone to use these apps that track you and you don't pay. Just pay for an app that doesn't track, oh wait, everyone wants everything for free now.

My dad sent me to go live on a farm for 3 months during the summer school break when I was 13. That worked out for me.

I'm playing Everquest 2 right now, does that count? Sometimes I'll play the "How high can I clock my 3900x until it starts crashing game". Always fun. On a serious note, I made the mistake of taking game design class once. Now whenever I play a game I play the software, I look for mistakes, errors, I think how a developer might design a certain level, I look at the patterns, how they do collision detection, try to figure out their logic. Games are no longer fun, they are just a program with patterns to me.

Apple or Opencore?

Really hope Mcdonalds or Popeyes or another big franchise comes out with another fast food console to push KFC (who already have the entire market and have zero need to improve on the Zinger CPU.)

Have to schedule an appointment to go into the store here apparently. I go to see the different monitors, something I can't do online. Of course I will still buy online unless BB has the best price.

Had to learn Java the same time as VB and I hated my life whenever I was near VB. Even typing about learning VB makes me hate life atm. So I ended up liking Java a lot more. I was at EDC Las Vegas one time and some guy struck a conversation with told me how he loved Ruby on Rails and I'm like, dude we are at a concert with a quarter million people and you want to talk about how much u love Ruby? A few lines and you have a full stack web page running, so it has it's benefits i guess. It's weird, I liked Objective C more than Swift ... but that was the limited amount of time I spent on it. And I hate Javascript, everyone hates javascript, but it pays well if you can get up high. Also took a course on PHP once and really liked how simple it was, although I never used it again. Also why no assembly in the pol ....

Now that I'm done watching 4 hours of lure vs bait fishing comparison videos.... My Boss who is was an ME in the army and made a career change to CS, who just built his own house ( bought many of the heavy equipment etc ) who developed a lot of our system software for a business that has revenue in the billions ... buys HP. He recently bought a new HP laptop, has a HP desktop at home. Why do you ask, would someone who has a ton of knowledge in electronics/computers/technology buy HP? Because he bought one once and never had an issue with it (allegedly), he also doesn't video game or do other demanding tasks at home. I have a friend that only buys Intel and he OC's the crap out of it to squeeze every frame so he can play csgo and pubg at minimum specs in 1080P. He cares more about that extra 1 fps and will pay hundreds more for it and has no use for extra cores he will never utilize . I just upgraded from a 3770k to an 3900x because I want the extra cores for work related stuff. Everyone has their reasons, the main thing is competition is great, it gives everyone choice. Money also isn't a factor for many people and CPUs are luxury goods not essentials for most people.

Struck by lightning and it killed your Sony but not you, wow you are lucky. Also have a story with lightning. I was gaming during the storm of the century in my man cave on a pretty old system. I knew it was not a good idea to keep doing so because of potential blackout (lots of issues in my neighborhood for some reason) but I kept going. Then it happened, one of the loudest sounds I have ever heard in my life, my entire house went dark. I felt a strong punch in my chest, an invisible force that knocked me backwards, scared the living shit out of me. Waited for the power to come on but it never did so I went to sleep. Next day I go outside, there are 2 pine trees in my front yard, one of them has a crack down the middle and there are splinters of wood all over the place. There is a sewage pipe that goes from my basement to the street and there was a big rift in the ground above it. The roots of the pine tree almost ripped out of the ground. I guess the lighting traveled through the tree to the root, to the sewage pipe, and to my room ( sewage pipe runs underneath another room ), and I was able to feel it on my end. Oh yeah, computer showed no signs of damage lol.
