@TulsiGabbard Praying for you guys.

We are getting ready to head to the hospital for my husband’s surgery and just wanted to say thank you so much to all of who have shared messages, prayers and well wishes for Abraham. We are humbled and so grateful to be surrounded by aloha during this really tough time. 🙏🏽

@brockpierson We had a network tech back in the day running a Napster server in the office. Good times. Haha!

27 years ago today Napster was launched. Be honest, you used it right?

@GuntherEagleman @PpollingNumbers Must have polled only in Austin.

@PpollingNumbers LOL. No chance.

New - 30% of Cornyn voters are planning to cross party lines and vote for 🔵 Talarico (TPOR)

@RetroMoviesDB The Final Countdown

Name a Time Travel Movie that is not Back to the Future...

@cjs214 @tutueme Can confirm. Many Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners with that. Not a favorite tbh.

@tutueme Afraid it is.

Do you have to be a Texan to know what this is? This was considered a dessert growing up.

@miles_commodore Slow WAY down.

What do you do when someone is driving right on your bumper?

@BuzzPatterson @catturd2 Uh... No

@catturd2 In all the things that never happened, this is the neverest. 🤣 What a putz!

LOL - not a chance in heII.

@ThrillaRilla369 Speed Racer

Don’t mention your age. Just post one of the earliest tv shows or cartoons you remember watching as a child. I’ll go first Duck Tales

@miles_commodore GenX...Psychopathic tendencies?

Why do so many people over 50 years old drink their coffee black? 🤔

@davepl1968 Much patience learned in my teens rebuilding the Quadrajet on my 79 Trans Am.

Have you taken apart and recurved a dual advance distributor? Have you looked inside a Quadrajet carburetor? One time, in the Old Testament, Moses rebuilds one, and even he has a few parts left over. You'd be crying for your microcontroller in about 3 minutes.

@gatorgar Sitting on the couch, sick, home from school and watched the entire thing unfold. Something you never forget where you were when you saw it.

Where were you when the Challenger exploded during launch? I know a lot of folks were in school and saw it happen live. I wasn’t born yet, but this seems to be one of those moments like the assassination of JFK. Everyone has a story. Tell me yours. I want to hear it.

@exQUIZitely Used to have to rearrange config.sys and autoexec.bat manually to get as much as you could into high memory. Memmaker was a great help once it was released.

How to play games today: 🖱️ Click the download/install button How to play games back in the day: ✅ Know autoexec.bat ✅ Know config.sys ✅ Know your DOS prompts ✅ Know himem.sys ✅ Know EMM386 and QEMM ✅ Pray that your sound card works properly ✅ IRQ 5 or 7? DMA 1? Address 220? Good luck! ✅ Pray that your base memory is high enough ✅ Pray that you have enough hard drive space ✅ Jumper settings on every new card ✅ Have different boot menus Kids today will never know the satisfaction of finally getting Wing Commander, Doom, SimCity 2000, or X-Wing running after three hours of tinkering. What a time to be alive (and mildly traumatized).

@brockpierson First browser I used was NCSA Mosaic.

Did you personally ever use Netscape Navigator?

@JesterJum Every 5k on my diesel or it’s close to shearing out of grade. Maybe for gasoline cars but not for a modern diesel with EGR.

If you change your oil every 5,000 miles, know that i am judging you. Full synthetic oil is good for double or triple that length. Stop wasting your money.

@Its_Nova1012 Sinclair Basic on a TS1000. Win/macOS/Fedora Linux

What was the first Operating System you ever used? - Windows - Linux - MacOS And what are you using now?

@ThrillaRilla369 Dan Fouts

Age yourself by naming an NFL player from your childhood. I'll start: Dan Marino

@Sassafrass_84 I stick to the stations where I can use their app on my phone to authorize the pump. Skip the card completely.

This is a skimmer. Avoid paying at the pumps. Go inside. 👇

@davepl1968 When Tom Clancy was at his prime, I'd read one of his novels over a weekend. Not much sleep!

I read Shogun in a week when my dad was dying, which was weirdly comforting. But that's the most I've read in a week, I think. Some people can chew through a lot of text!

Bill Gates used to take a reading week once a year. Manga, I assume.

@davepl1968 Looks a bit like the trading desk at the old Enron building.

And one to rule them all...

@davepl1968 @DavisMattek Probably because it doesn’t appeal to one’s feelings, but more so to one’s intellect and world view.

@DavisMattek It's full of torturous bloviation, but it's an important story. For a lot of liberals, though, it's like nerds reading a book about jocks. They can't do it.

Atlas Shrugged is so bad and poorly written that the Simpsons parody of it didn't even have to change any of the names, plotting, or inherent philosophy to make it funny
