  • Same. I remember needing converters for these newfangled PS/2 connectors. Then again, I am old enough that I remember why floppies were called floppies, and used tape for more than just backup. And hard drives being as big as a shoe box and with less storage than you now have as CPU caches.


  • Fine, I’ll concede that on a new outlet type B has a decent grip on the plug. Sadly, the majority of outlets I’ve interacted with over the years are worn to the point of being just as bad. Plus, the fact that you can have an appliance plugged in and working with part of the prongs exposed is just a safety issue that should’ve been fixed decades ago.

    But okay, I suppose that goes for type A as well on top of it being an inferior design so I’ll retract my statement.

    Sounds like Canada anywhere not near the ocean. I’m in that same boat, and I’ll happily trade the stupidly hot summers for two extra months of winter.

    I miss the moderate summers of Scandinavia in that regard. Sure, it rained a lot, but at least you could go outside without roasting to a crisp in minutes during summer.

    So very true. Dressing for cold is so much easier than heat it’s mindboggling to read some of these summer fan comments. Like, do you guys actually live on the same planet as I do? Cause this one sucks the minute temperatures go past 20c.

    Thank you for perfectly describing just about all the reasons I would skip summer altogether if I could.

    The one missing complaint from my end is that you can’t do anything outside or in a non-AC building without instantly sweating like you took a shower with your clothes on.

    And don’t get me started on everything being on fire. The only thing worse than regular summer is a summer where you can’t see the skies for several month’s due to the smoke and you have to worry about your house burning down all the damn time.

    Couldn’t agree more with the OOP.
