I am the exact kind of pedantic nerd that would make this kind of argument if it were true, but I am also old enough to have used these. And yes, we just called them floppies. Almost nobody actually said diskette.
there is a woman on TikTok who has been arguing for months now with randos that keep insisting that nobody called 3.5" disks "floppy disks" or "floppies" at the time. it's weird. no matter what kind of proof she provides or how many agree with her, people are coming out of the woodwork to disagree

Related to this I guess? There are upside-down US flags, so I'm assuming it has to do with the general insanity going on south of the border?

There seems to be a protest of some kind at Yonge/Dundas. But it appears that it's mostly... cops at this point?

Anyone know what's going on? Searching the web for any news, but coming up short.

Rich people will still buy this shit. Why? Because it's marketed to rich people. All you have to do is play to someone's ego.

The fam got together for my Dad's 82nd yesterday. Just chatting, we uncovered a whole lot of unusual trivia.
Our names are not actually our names. Immigration officials are often drunken morons. My Dad is one of 8 siblings still kicking, and he's on the younger side.
Good times.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.

the RAM crisis is going to lead to a huge pop in these stocks, a huge price increase across the board, then a brutal reckoning as everybody realizes that AI is a bubble and suddenly NVIDIA/AMD/Broadcom doesn't need every ounce of HBRAM

I went to Ca Phe Rang once. It wasn't anything special imo. Also the staff left my order in the kitchen & checked their phones for ~20 mins before anyone noticed. So... (see Marge pose in the background).
