E.g. see people from Venezuela here legally who got put into "illegal status" anyway due to orange man policies.

Not sure if you've seen this video: https://youtu.be/hksVvXONrIo

But it explains what I saw when typing on the later updates for my old phone.

From the Latin roots medi: middle terra: earth ain't: nah bruh

Its in the middle of that earth thingy, and ain't, clear as night.

If you leave it up to them, they'll start burning that toxic cheap marine diesel to power the generators. Its not like its hard to get some states to give you exceptions for pollution with some key donations.

Noise pollution around data centers is very bad already based on some news reports, they'll push the limits to save a dollar.

I grew up eating them and cook them often to this day. I just would not personally call that frying in the same way I would not call vegetables, meat, etc. cooked with a similar ratio of oil to veggie fried. Or at least where I'm from frying implies submerging in hot oil, but it could be a regional thing. And true, we still call them fried or refried beans.

Interestingly some variations of the recipe with higher oil ratios for special occasions like birthdays we call "frijoles chinitos" which kind of translates to "shivering/goosebumps beans" since their texture changes to mimic skin when shivering with little dots after cooking. Not sure how the chinito (curly when referring to hair) part comes in since hair is more straight than curly on those conditions...)

Neither are refried beans, but I see your point.

I remember reading an article about how those programs would increase your speed if you shared more files. Sharing "My Documents" was the only logical action to take...

Luckily it was just school essays and the like, but that was dumb.

Big brain time was using limewire to download limewore pro to get the blue download bar and (provably faked) 7KBps speed instead of 6KBps.

Just one?

Steamy.stuff.avi.exe is done downloading.

My intro to computer science professors said the problem with computer (sans the now rare hardware bug not worked around by the OS and lower layers) is that a computer will do exactly what you tell it to... And that's where most bugs come from. I've found computers can do very silly things over the years due to operator error 🤕

I only had an older iPhone (which I liked for the most part), but it was announced to not be getting security and related updates soon (what apple calls vintage at this point) so there wasn't much of an ecosystem once I got a different phone and exporting my pictures to my NAS, new phone, desktop and laptop made more sense.

I supposed I could lose everything if all of those burn in a house fire, but since I always have my phone on me, I'd imagine there would be more pressing matters like not burning to death myself.

Edit: I also have some stuff at my relatives, but their internet sucks, so I only sync family and more important pics there.

Forgot about that yes, heard of horror stories of people being locked out of gmail, google support being useless and losing so much time and money migrating accounts manually by having to visit banks and the like.

Yes, I was thinking how finicky and slow computers were back then (when compared to your now average PC) requiring restarts and the occasional BSoD showing up.

My guess is that with my current knowledge of computers now, I could have been more effective, but would be limited by the hardware more than anything.

Nowadays I freak out if my personal computer even gets a hint of slowness on day to day tasks (as i recently found out using unrar on Linux...)
