That’s how I am with the bat out of hell album… Get off my lawn.

you are now out $500 for missing work and other legal fees

Legal fees can easily reach into the thousands…

I did way back when I was 18/19… I was riding my bike home from work, and a cop directing traffic yelled at me to get out of the street. Without even thinking, I yelled back “go fuck yourself”. He called to his partner across the intersection, “Mike, get him!”. Mike was on a motorcycle. I was sure I was fucked, but I knew the neighborhood, so after salmoning up a one way street full of double parked cars, and taking a couple turns, one being into a narrow alley that’s almost invisible unless you already know it’s there, I got behind him - figured that was the best place to be… He never looked back, just slowed down, looking in doorways, between/under parked cars, until I got within a couple blocks of my house, then I hauled ass and locked myself (and bike) in the basement for the next half hour.

Do you know what she’s called?

the tank that hit me

Not fair to call it a tank. A tank driver can see what’s in front of it.

Dyslexics untie!

I think gen x did that… You’re welcome.

Do you teach your kids to swim, or to stay away from water? Guess which is more effective at preventing drowning?

I don’t think that’s accurate… Of course it’s possible I’m misremembering something from 35+ years ago, but there’s no performance benefit for 14 bits over 16- either way, it’s a 2-byte fetch, you don’t save anything by leaving off two bits. So I’d almost believe it was 8-bit rather than 16, but the difference in sound quality is huge, and the Amigas had a 16-bit data bus so 16-bit fetches took no more effort than 8-bit. The sample rate I’d be more likely to believe I had wrong, but again, there are technical reasons for the 44.1 kHz rate that have to do with recording digital audio to videotape, so I could see it being half that, but not some random number. But again, huge sound quality difference between 44.1 and 22.05.

All that said, I’m not too familiar with the 1000, I had the 500 which was basically the same machine as the 2000 but in a more compact case. My uncle had a 1000, but he used it professionally so he wouldn’t let me near it :D

I don’t remember at this point… So I googled, this looks familiar: http://smallvoid.com/article/dos-multiple-configurations.html

I built a config.sys file with a menu that then passed the menu choice on to autoexec.bat so I could choose at boot time between 3 configurations- one with expanded memory for older games that required it, one with extended memory for everyday use and newer games, and one with everything extra (including CD-ROM drivers) stripped away to maximize free conventional RAM for the one or two games that needed that…

At the same time, the Commodore Amiga had built-in stereo 44.1kHz 16-bit sound…

Toddlers are plenty rebellious already, it’s just a different kind. Teenagers rebel against authority. Toddlers rebel against their own existence.

Yeah but that’s an average, you never know when he’s going to double up one week so he can take the next one off…

Would you have accepted “righty tighty lefty loosely”?

Fahrenheit is fine for temperatures that humans can experience in our environment (and expect to survive, at least for a little while…)
