The future is square hogs.

It was called spanning and was usually done with a third party utility like xcopy or pkzip, but I am pretty sure MS backup did it as well. I don’t think you could do it with DOS copy command through v6.22.

And I thought this was going to be a joke about her putting the audience to sleep.

Oh my DM really leaned into that one. Had us searching for a golden brassiere as part of a ritual we needed to perform. We ended up picking up a rumour that the captain of the guard wears one, so on to the seduction attempt to go find out what she’s into and where she hangs out. Play through the whole bit, get the brassiere and then ask what we do next. Well, now we need to burn incense in the brassiere. Now everyone just looks at eachother completely confused. Then the guy sitting next to the DM suddenly perks up and asks to see the module we’re running for a sec. Tells the table it says brazier. Confusion dispelled and everyone laughing for days.

Some say that forklift is still running today.

Ooh, I remember playing Monster Maze and Math Hurdler on a dual-sided cassette. Avenger (basically Space Invaders) on cartridge. Also typed in Killer Comet and Tank vs UFO from a magazine. Last one was probably the best of the lot.

Huh. I always wondered what happened to the guy who played Sock from Reaper.

Typically when you are moving debt to a credit card, you are not making a purchase, but are withdrawing cash from the credit account to pay for the LOC. A cash advance usually means you are paying interest on the amount withdrawn immediately at super high credit card rates. There is usually no grace period given for cash advances. IIRC, the cash balance is tracked separately from your regular card balance, and payments first go to paying off the normal monthly balance, and when that hits zero, they go towards the cash advance balance. That keeps you paying high interest for longer if you can’t pay it off in full. You’d have to read your terms of service to confirm how your card handles this. Be careful to make sure you understand your terms.

There are frequently special balance transfer offerings issued by card companies that allow you to transfer your credit balance from one card to another for a fixed initial cost (3% of balance seems normal now), and then you get up to 12 months at 0% interest. That can be a pretty good deal, but you would have to confirm if you could do a cash advance on one card, then balance transfer to a second one using a promotional offer and make sure the second card doesn’t still treat it as a cash advance balance, which would likely be subject to immediate high interest rates. This is probably the most likely scenario. However, if you can confirm they treat the transferred balance as normal, it would end up being cheaper than a year at LOC interest. Then you pay it off in full with the LOC and repeat, assuming you get another offer. I think it is more likely banks will look out for each other and that won’t work for cash advance credit card debt, but hey, maybe there are banks that just want your business and only a little cash instead of a lot.

She should debate a puppet sitting on a chair, and express her disappointment that Putin couldn’t be there to reach up its ass and work its mouth.

Well, when life hands you lémons…

Didn’t join the site to download the pdf, but it looks like it is trying to find a correlation between wanting to leave the public service and answering a survey question about how often you can use your preferred language. As such, I am not sure if they have any follow up queations on why people answered what they did in the survey, but it could be as simple as they have to interact with unilingual people. Even if they have a bilingual boss (who, even at CCC may not be very good), they may not have bilingual clients or team mates and therefore have to work in one language most of the time.

IT in particular can be tricky, since most things are only English. A lot of software tools only come in English, and a big chunk of vendor support is from the US and often does not have a French option. The contractor pool is also largely English since the Canadian private sector doesn’t require bilingualism for tech workers.

Read the last part as that thing your aunt gave you which you don’t know what it is.

He beats up lots of guys with axes tho

Lip my stocking!

Indeed. Placoid scales are a defining feature of Elasmobranchs.

It’s based on the Cyberpunk 2020 TTRPG. You could customize your character by adding a Mr. Studd sexual implement (or the Midnight Lady equivalent for female anatomy). I think they did it just to have comparable options to the source material.
