I haven’t seen EBCDIC used anywhere other than the curriculum of my “Fundamentals of Programming” class 25 years ago.
Sounds about right to me.
As a pubescent teenager at the time, the main thing I remember is the pre-hot-coffee controversy.
I wish I could just “set aside” a billion dollars.
I listened to this in my head, where did it go?
Neither.
That roommate was a separate person. As described in another comment, he tried to set a timer that would not cook anything, only start beeping in thirty minutes. Instead, he set the microwave to run - which is to say, cook - for thirty minutes, which melted the non food item inside the microwave.
I apologize for the ambiguity of my phrasing.
This is the correct interpretation. I guess perhaps “run” could be a bit ambiguous, apologies to the others for not being clear.
A long long time ago, I lived with a roommate who tried to set a timer for thirty minutes on our microwave.
He instead set the microwave to run for thirty minutes.
The steam dome thingy inside did not last for thirty minutes.
I live in the US. As a rule, I work a four day week with a three day weekend. I’ve turned down jobs because they didn’t offer it as an option.
Unfortunately, the week I work is 4x10. I’d certainly rather have one day a week rather than two hours a day, but both would be far preferable.
I still end up regularly logging in on Fridays because of people with unimportant meetings and inflexible schedules.
This was a pretty great thread, y’all are fantastic.
Classic reference, friend.
As I am learning in a somewhat similar circumstance, you can request to be sedated during the surgery. I’m not sure about the original root canal.

It’s not impossible, but I don’t really plan to have to.
Is this about Shia Lebouf in I, Robot?
0·5 days agoI never saw the episode you’re referencing but yeah, that sounds like my understanding as well.
Decades ago, I saw a (one of many) "you might be a geek / nerd if … " list (referencing “you might be a redneck”). As of this moment, the only one I remember is “you leave the modem speaker on after connecting because you think it sounds like the ocean - the perfect sound for surfing the web!”
