Newsgroups had direct downloads and files broken down into small multi part rar, with parity checks to make sure nothing ea corrupted.
IRC/XDCC had bots that you requested files from, and if they didn’t have it they would sometimes find it for you and notify you when it became available.
I remember getting an mp3 cd player, whoch was revolutionary because suddenly the disc capacity was based on file size, not music runtime. You didnt have to burn whole cds as an album, you could fit a whole 700mb of songs and directories on one cd. It even had a little digital display that would show the filenames and directory tree, so you could have your music all organized just as you would on the computer. Total gamechanger. Then ipods came around a few years later and changed everything again.
I used to love old keygens with their pixel art and chiptune music. That was honestly the best time to be on the internet.
Well yeah but thats a lot of people globally. My point is just that something doesnt have to be widespread on tiktok for it to stull reach a significant amount of people.
Apparently Tiktok has like 2 BILLION(!!) users. As crazy as that is, if even 0.01% of users is doing some dumb crazy thing, thats pptentially 200 000 kids injuring themselves or whatever when they wouldn’t otherwise. Its not a trend among the majority of users, but it is a trend that was spread by tiktok.
In my experience its very common, just to give a counterpoint. “Bring in the horns” to denote a trumpet heavy section, or just referring to the brass section as “the horn section”. 8dk might just be reguonal i guess but its colloquial.
I mean physics is the theoretical study of the universe, chemistry is the practical study of the universe. Literally studying the physical form and makeup and relationships of everything in the universe. Edit: wrong post somehow, thats weird, my bad. Leaving this for posterity.
Well then you have two options move to a cardboard box on the sidewalk, which will likely cost you your job, friends, bank account, visa status, children, etc. Etc. Or you can go massively into debt propped up by vicious predatory lending such as cash now type places. Or i guess turn to crime or prostitution. The American Dream folks. You just raised shareholder value on the investment company that owns every apartment in your neighborhood.
I’m not your friend, guy.
Thats just the pagan gods demanding their blood sarcrifice for the solstice.
Thats funny. My girlfriend calls those “the duck” as in ‘i had to get assaulted by the duck again at that appointment’. I suppose reindeer works too though.
I know pal i was continuing it on.
At that point why even bother with the air at all, we could just send electrical signals. Or even light.
Yeah a bunch of cells which have FULLY FORMED into a person. Something a fetus has in no way done.
A fetus is objectively not fully formed. What do you think its doing in the womb for all those months, just hanging out? When abortions happen its just a bundle of cells that cant think, breathe, or live on its own.
Looks like OP is in canada, so like half an hour really.
I mean it can definitely be both. Speaking from personal experience, and most people ive known with adhd, it tends to make you way more prone to addictive behaviours.
I fucking hate this guy so much. He wants to be carl sagan or stephen hawking so badly, but hes ignorant as fuck and all his ‘deep thoughts’ are shallower than a puddle.
This is dumb. If the students actually did this, one of them would definitely end up shooting up the rest. Everyone knows you keep the vest on until the ceremony is over and you’re safely home.
I didnt even know keygens still existed, i thought everything just had a cracked executable these days. Im trying to think of the last one i saw, probably like 12 years ago, but it was more professional looking than most legitimate programs, with really amazing graphic design and music and a really well made ui. It wasnt just a keygen, there were other options, but i cant remember what else it did or what game it was for.
