That’s what my grandmother and I used for the first 5 years of my life. For toilet paper we used the Sears catalog. (this was in the early 70’s, the catalog came mostly similar to newspaper except the middle 10 pages or so were the glossy color ones which do not work for that purpose.)
It really wasn’t bad, except in the winter. Canadian winters and outhouses are a special experience… you did not dawdle when on one of those missions.
I think I still have movies that I had ripped off of rented dvds on an old hard drive around here somewhere, from over twenty years ago when I still had dial up internet. (It was quicker to just rent and rip than download a movie at 3-4kps.)
I doubt he’s gone, just hiding under an alt.
I’ve seen those before and even made one once, didn’t know that’s what they were called though. Thanks for that
You mean to tell me that I could have been charging all these years instead of giving my farts away for free?
I think both articles are different people. It appears this guys name is John Smid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Smid
We’re just on the end of a bit of a heatwave, and I found out my neighbors don’t have AC because they spent nearly the whole time outside in the shade because their house was too hot inside.
These are the same people that have multiple pitbulls never kept on a leash, rarely mow, often park on their front lawn, and used to sell drugs out of the house, so I’m finding it very difficult to feel very sorry for them.
Friends with benefits, just not necessarily the good kind.
My city has a street that changes name 4 times as you go down it.
The more things change, the more idiots stay exactly the same.
I still have a small box of old ram and a bunch of cpus from that era.( 20 to 30 yrs ago) Had them for years in case someone I knew needed them. I need to take them to a recycling center some day but there isn’t one close by.
Dammit I just did my taxes online, and now I find out about this.
Probably a good time to mention Anna’s is looking for people with extra hard drive space to help seed their torrent files, and are constantly looking for volunteers and donations to help out. If you even only have a little time or resources, any help is much appreciated to keep the archives collection alive. You can also find links to them their wikipedia page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna’s_Archive

Canada here. Winter never, unless we have a rare warm (above -10c/14f) day. Spring as often as I can if/when it’s nice enough outside. Summer usually open until the temps get around 27c/80f then closed and the air conditioner on.
I live in a roughly 100 yr old house though, so with all the cracks etc this place tends to self-ventilate anyway.
Well, if you happen to be in Canada around the beginning of August…
I’m getting old, can’t do that kind of shit anymore without suffering for it for days afterwards but it sure was fun at the time though.
I had saved up over $1300 from odd jobs/paper route in my teens just for it. On my 18th, I bought 30 hits of acid and a few cases of beer for me and my friends, rented a motel room under a different name 80 miles from home, and partied for about 2 days.
The ad delivery system is programmed to show you the ads only when the vehicle is in park, just so Stellantis doesn’t get sued for that very reason.
Still, as far as I’m concerned it’s pretty scummy to throw ads on your display to make even more money off you after you’ve already paid them tens of thousands for your vehicle.
One thing I hate with shorts is that (at least on desktop for me) they hide the dates. When I see something I want to know if it’s recent or not, so I avoid shorts altogether.
