Slackware took like 40 3.5" double sided double density disks, and woe betide the poor soul who didn’t label them because the stack was a foot high and you damn well would get them mixed up.

When doing it from home I would frequently run into issues that required me to completely reinstall dos and Telemate to go back to usenet and get help, print the help and then take another stab.

Dos and Linux had different opinions about SCSI chain termination so this usually involved full cover off to move jumpers on the hard drives and sometimes irq jumpers on the motherboard to get the modem AND sound card working right.

Then the fact that to get online once you had slackware installed required you to write your own SLIP/PPP dialup scripts because every ISP was doing their own thing.

Honestly it was a fucking wonderful time. Many happy memories.

that’s the one yup

Lola by The Kinks in 1970,

The song details a romantic encounter in a SOHO bar between a young man and the eponymous Lola, who is possibly a trans woman or cross-dresser.

one of the lyrics references her cola tasting lips

lately i have been mixing avocado, salsa and pure fermented habanero sauce and slapping that on lettuce and arugula it’s so good

My kid asked me what the closest thing to immortality was and I had to introduce them to Ea-nāșir’s legacy

egg_irl did in fact begin the process for me, like 8 years ago. Have the appt to get estrogen this week!

It was quite a surprise to learn that everybody doesn’t fantasize about being a girl at least a little!

Having just switched from Old Spice Swagger to SheaMoisture products I can assure you that ‘different smells, colors and water contents’ result in radically different outcomes in hair softness and smoothness!

I recommend the Sailing Anarchy forums and nauticed.org if you think you’re into sailing!

Bring On Another Thousand

I don’t like 'em. I fucking love 'em!

I tried this recipe but felt it needed a little something so I swapped out the 2 cups of AP flour for canned rhubarb and that’s just what it was missing! 5 stars

there comes a point where you realize you haven’t thought about them in months and it’s delightful. Hang in there!

the bidet temporarily connects my butthole with a near infinite series of tubes containing pure water and in that moment I am the clean water and the clean water is me

in my dreams i’m lesbian Morticia Addams from the 60’s.

I have driven many thousands of miles and my favorite place on the road is 100 yards behind a big rig that’s heading my way. i can zone out and safely follow and people rarely want the spot between you and the truck for long so you can just go hours keeping that square centered.

It’s even better at night when the trucks lights give you a nice preview of exactly how curvy the road is.

Eventually big guy takes an exit and i always send a grateful salute cuz following a big rig 100 yards back is better than cruise control imo.

Did y’all know you can’t dunk oreos in chocolate milk? Like you can but it doesn’t do anything to them they don’t get soft!

👻 Boo! (Sorry tho if I scared yah eh)

yeah I have tried driver/passenger in the past and still got it wrong so i just point and tell people to ignore whatever i say and follow my finger when driving which is the only time it’s usually critical. also my partner knows if I say ‘real left’ that i have double or triple checked myself. like you say you learn to cope!

it sucked in the past when I didn’t know about it and people would ask me for directions and then later realize i flipped something on them
