I’m reminded of Bender:

“This isn’t even about you”

“That’s impossible!”

I used to work with truckers, and a LOT of them started out like this.

I used to use high-powered (4KW) lasers at work every day. Now I make 3D models and sit at a desk.

Guess which job I like more.

“www” for World Wide Web has always bugged me. World Wide Web is three syllables, WWW is nine.

Where is the hand-crank centrifuge?

“Andor” is the best Star Wars series.

Potatoes are so easy to grow. You can grow a lot of them in a trash can full of dirt.

I remember my parents talking about some thing or other in star trek that would be impossible because you’d need “terabytes of storage, and that’s probably not possible”. And now you can go buy 1 tb of storage and lose it in your couch cushions.

Speaking as someone who grew up in the 1980s…

Micro-SD cards almost don’t make sense to me. I’m not saying I don’t believe in them, because of course I have a few of them. Obviously they exist and they work. But. They’re the size of a fingernail and can hold billions of characters of data. I uwve a camera that ive put a 128 GB microSD card in. A quick tap on the calculator tells me that’s over 91,000 3.5" floppy disks. Assuming they’re 3mm thick, that’s a stack of disks 273 meters tall. But this card is so tiny that I have to be careful not to lose it.
