Your basic Gen-X nerd.
@tjh@mastodon.sdf.org I had this flipped on me one time.
I once made a change on a 6509 and the device went away, taking core network functions with it.
I freaked out, then said "Wait a minute, all I changed was an interface description, haha I am freaking out at a coincidence lololol epic bacon" (we all talked like that back then)
It turned out that the 6509 supervisor had crashed hard just because I changed _something_.
(Related: I do not have fond memories of Cisco 6500s)

I just took an Apple AirPod out of my ear with one hand, while picking up a piece of bacon from my plate with my other hand. I then proceeded to put the entire AirPod in my mouth, at which time I briefly rolled it around on my tongue while thinking to myself "Wait … this isn't bacon.”
@MidniteLibrary Smells Like Teen Spirit off over Nevermind came out _in 1991_, and yet between it and Friday I'm In Love, only one of these songs would not be out of place when played at an 80s themed party.

@MidniteLibrary YES!
Not to mention some oddities that only resolve themselves when you remember context. "Why the hell was Bohemian Rhapsody charting in 1992? ... Oh, right. Party on, Wayne.”
I'm now going through billboard charts for each year of my life, just eyeballing them to see if there's any notable songs that I'm missing. This has shown up some songs that I would have said were around many years, if not decades apart, when it fact this was not the case.
The 1970s was a weird-ass time, full of songs that you I would swear were from the 50s, and also songs that I would swear were early 80s new wave or post-punk.
My sense of time is clearly tied to genre.
I must admit to finding some GLARING omissions on my part. I didn't have a copy of Groove Is In The Heart by Deee-Lite? Outrageous.
Finding my old iPod has led to me going through my old music library, ensuring that I have a local, not streamed digital copy of music that matters to me, and also notable music from my youth. I have gone so far as to hook up an old DVD drive to my mac, so I can rip stuff from the big box of CDs in my garage.
@duckalini @annettle I have seen the photo, and it contains a good dog. But that good dog is very much being held up by its delighted owner who is clearly quite visible to anyone taking the photo, UNLESS they were, for example, utterly mesmerised by the presence of the aforementioned good dog.
I find myself wanting a couple of handheld tools (a drill, and an impact driver, and maybe a circular and reciprocating saw) for a few projects. We already have and use a Ryobi 18V battery ,so I am pondering just picking up Ryobi’s general tool combo pack that includes what I want plus some additional stuff. Judging by the very cheap price, I presume these may be poorer quality items than more upscale brands, but they might be fine for smaller scale work like I have planned.

From my archives... this is what the command center of a mid-1990s dialup ISP looked like.
Later iterations would be more advanced, but this is how it started. A natural progression and leap of faith from the multi-line BBS it replaced.
OH NO I took a photo of a cute dog hanging out of the window of a parked car (it was a sausage dog) then the dog chuckled and THERE WAS SOMEONE HOLDING IT now I must disappear forever
My beloved wife has returned from shopping, and she has purchased as a treat for me a BTS Special Package Americano Cold Brew Coffee with a picture of one of the members[1] of BTS on the front, looking soulfully and emotionally at the camera. I don't know why this has happened, but I am looking forward to trying the coffee.
