I had no idea this had a name! When I was a small child we lived by the coast and my dad had a small yacht, one day I remember the keel lodged on a sandbar and he used the anchor to pull it free. Unfortunately we moved inland when I was 5 and dad sold the yacht.

Not to mention most "8-bit" CPUs had a 16 bit address bus.

Wait so you're telling me the "jelly" in a PB&J is grape and not as I have assumed for all my life strawberry or raspberry?

I'm quite partial to 74 series logic chips personally.

You are several orders of magnitude more likely to be killed by another human than an animal or insert in Australia.

Thought this was about the bloke not far from where I live that was caught on a hidden camera placed by activists literally fucking pigs after hours at a pig farm.

I work as a software engineer for an Australian bank. My team works remote except for one day a fortnight which is in office to have some meetings that work better in person and so we can catch up and go for lunch. However I didn't go in for my last in office day because I had too much to do and it can be hard to get work done when we are in office.

It's actually gay-raj.

I worked for a small software company for 6 years after finishing uni. I was the first person the founders hired. It was a great time and I learnt a lot and got to make a lot of decisions and had a lot of freedom.

But they didn't pay anywhere near as much as a corporate job so when I got offered significantly more money to work for a very large company the small company couldn't match it and pushed me to take it as a huge career and development opportunity.

It's been great working at the big company but I really miss the culture and involvement I had at the small company.

Ubuntu sometime around 2008 or 2009 after there was an install disk in a PC magazine. I didn't use it for long and went back to windows, but I experimented again with Debian a few years later and these days I daily Manjaro.
