There was also the forgotten format, D-VHS which was a specialized VHS tape tape which the recordings could be at 720p or 1080i resolutions. Or the same resolution as DVD but at a higher bitrate so there are less noticeable digital compression artifacts than DVD. The introduction of HD-DVD and Blu-ray disc formats kept the D-VHS format from ever becoming widely adopted.

I don't remember what happened to Scotty after the TNG episode where they found him preserved in a transporter buffer on a ship left on the outside of a dyson sphere.

O'Brien when this episode concluded: "Back into the transporter buffer you go, Mr. Scott!"

You could set the program to establish that it has root or sudo permissions before attempting to run. Then the line in except that runs rm -rf / would be more effective.

I learned that lesson as a 12 year old in the early 90's on an original IBM PC 5150 with a 5151 monochrome monitor, fucking with TSR's in DOS 3.1. It must've made the graphics card change timing modes and the monitor immediately blew a fuse. My dad then soldered in a fuseholder so the fuse in the monitor can be replaces as needed.

Out of fear of doing further damage, I did stay away from the particular TSRs that had any relation to changing video timing modes and it didn't happen again.

Does Here use OSM data?

I heard bing maps is moving to using OSM data for their map products.

Around age 3, riding my tricycle on the sidewalk around the side of the house, asking my mom or dad, "when will I become a grown-up?"

This may be a good place to look.

Updoot sounds cute, but when redditors announce their upvotes that does get annoying.

116°F driving through Arizona in July 2007, could've been worse if it wasn't a dry heat. (46.7°C)

10°F Central Texas Feb 2021, had no power, so had no running heater at home. (-12°C)
