Say Invenda (your brand here) five times to get a discount!

I used to hear tv tubes, power supplies and all sorts of high frequency noise. These days I mostly just hear tinnitus. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Sleeping. Woke up one day to frozen shoulder. Two years of physio and it's still not right. Fucking aging. Being 50+ sucks arse.

The mkbhd first impressions were fascinating for what he didn't say. I'm guessing that he didn't want to burn the good times he has with Tesla so he really seemed to be trying to positively spin everything. At least, that's my interpretation. The mirrors were particularly.. https://youtu.be/XxOh12Uhg08?si=jlfuFU70v5cGd8HV

For some reason now I think it has to canon that going to warp involves a quick chorus of big red car.

Why does this reek of the BBC and Jimmy Savile?

The set of all rational numbers has zero size in the real numbers. And yet, they're fucking dense, meaning you can find a rational arbitrarily close to any real number. I mean, what the fuck?

Winmodems, the first true hardware hurdle for all Linux all the time for me. I ended up stuck with a 14.4 modem for ages, because faster hardware modems were almost completely replaced by winmodems in the UK. They sucked so much. Ah, demon internet in 1995.

This was probably an error- a bunch of stock became available about 30 past. That's when I got mine.

Same here. I was closing steam, figured it wasn't my lucky day after the out of stock message, and just refreshed the order out of habit and it went sailing through!

Yeah, I got the error page a bunch of times, then the "we're out of stock", and finally, an order confirmation! I suspect the servers were just overloaded - valve is definitely underestimating demand - and then they were running into fulfillment issues that have slowly been sorted out.

There's no doubt some bots got some, but I think there's a lot of happy second steamdeck owners today as well..
