OS/2 Warp was out before Windows 95, and better.

GitHub has never been down since Copilot was released.

Tariffs.

Ok.

Yes, and I hope everything they voted for happens to them personally

How quickly we’ve forgotten about the Rabbit R1.

Can relate to both. There aren’t a lot of winters left where I’ll be able to ski. The future no longer feels infinite. I do not have all of the time in the world to do the things I enjoy. But, and my younger self would be very upset with me, I am very happily done with the hussle.
