I wish I had the Logo and BASIC programs I wrote for the c64 in the early 80s. I still have the disks, so there's vague hope. Even more, I'd love the animations and images I made on the Amiga later in the decade, but that's

Mobile devices have hooked a lot of people who weren't interested in desktops or laptops. They also created the ability to use the internet or play games in places people would have been unlikely to use computing devices before, like a

I’m an American who likes trying new things and I could list at least 2 dozen types of cheese I’m familiar with. That’s about it though unless varieties with flavorings or smoking makes them count separately.

Fentanyl is not a schedule I substance. That would mean it’s not available for medical purposes or any other purpose. It’s schedule II, like other prescription drugs with a high potential for abuse (as listed in the link you provided). Anyw

It was difficult to locate but I found a new iPhone 7 for sale for $92. Seems affordable.

It’s not because they thought my Samsung was cheap, rather they believed Android is inelegant or tacky compared to iOS. Another part of it was the lack of interoperability with FaceTime and iMessage.

People say only teenagers are keyed into it, but I’ve gotten comments from people in their 40s that my Android phone was lame or “I don’t know why you bought that thing”. Not to the extent that it affected my relationships with them though.

Neat trick they’re using to fill it with epoxy with a specific refractive index to render it transparent. I’m familiar with that from working with glass… different glasses have varying indexes of refraction, and so do liquids. For artistic
