I remember finding YouTube videos to watch on the something awful forums in like 2007. Was the only real way I knew of at the time but the variety puts my current recommendation feed to shame.

I miss the sheer random absurdity of what I'd find there. Don't remember too much of what I found any more, other than "man from lox" which I still find someone new to show it to every few years or so lol

I will say the recommendations now being so personalized gives me a lot of big topical chunks of content relevant to my interests that I'd probably not have found on a random SA thread. But so much of it is just "a competing channel of what you're already watching" and "what we are recommending to half the world right now and we can tell you won't object to". Not the random out of thin air things like "ghost ride the whip" (another that just instantly came to my mind lol)

Kind of cements the point, but I also thought "why take a picture of everything else but the fiber?". Probably should have highlighted it a bit more, like I'd like a close up of it running across the trim

Probably sending a page, like to old school pagers. Though I'm not sure if people actually use pagers on the receiving end. If you sniff POCSAG radio traffic with an SDR a good amount of the traffic are alerts from various industrial sensors

The left has shifted left, and expected the window to follow them.

It's very clear, people that want to think their echo chamber perfectly represents actual reality just choose not to understand

You'd have to have the most selective feed of only small, esoteric subs to think it isn't

They could call it XCode. Oh wait...

Sure it was Amazon? Sounds like a scam

I'm pretty sure the meme WAS the message. What other messages are being distributed through random meme sharing, where the recipient has to know it contains some secondary hidden message and requires the means to decode it?!

Yes, please do so. Because there's plenty of Democrat majority Congresses in that time range that chose to not renew the supply

I remember getting a kick out of that back in the day. Even as a Gentoo user that built from stage 1 and over obsessed about my use flags and kernel settings lol

Though I thought it had a section in it about --funroll-loops, but I just be remembering another page

Outside of the decades long trend of overly bright headlights, I've noticed a more recent uptick of drivers seemingly deliberately leaving their high beams on full time. Not sure if it's "keeping up with the Joneses" or just people with older headlights that can't see them over the bright ones, but I'm blinded by at least one car with clear brights on every night drive recently

I will say, while there's now more overly bright headlights of varying degrees of blinding, it's better then when every truck started buying HID headlights and putting them in normal headlight housings. Felt like there was a period of time where headlights were either the normal tone, or a super bright light hitting you from all directions
