That said, as a Canadian, it’s always fun to look back at Blackberry’s history and remember a time when a home-grown gadget was the star of the tech world.

Others that fit description were ATI Techologies (now the AMD graphics card division that makes Radeon) and Nortel networks, a maker of corporate and commercial telecom gear (including hardware routers and firewalls).

I think we'd have a civil war before that would happen.

When he joins the working world, does he think his employer will put up with his BO? Ask him how he plans to stay "manly" when he's unemployed.

If you are given/get/earn $51,000 and you invest that at a 7% return when you are 21 and never save a single extra penny, at age 65 you will have $1,001,051.44.

I'm not suggesting everyone can come up with $51k at 21. This is just illustrating that the path to being a millionaire is can be more about how early you start saving rather that how much. If you start saving much later, you have to save much MUCH more to reach $1m.

Isn't this a main trope in the final season of Game of Thrones? "I don't want it!"

It’s insane to see his approval rating is actually relatively stable. The people supporting this guy are grade A morons.

In fairness, its only been 30 days since the inauguration, and even though trumps/Musk power grab are batshit insane, many cases illegal, and many unconstitutional, to the average citizen their life hasn't changed yet. Unless people seek out news and think critically about its implications, they see the lights still come on, there's still food at the grocery store, gas at the gas pump, and their kids seem the same. They simply aren't engaged.

Unfortunately by the time these folks finally notice something's wrong, many MANY things will be already set in motion with massive future short term and long term consequences.

Give them a break. Last year at this same time the guy probably working for DOGE that came up with that report's most stressful task was asking Olivia Stevens if she would go to high school senior prom with him. /s

More believable if the punchline was: My device just keeps responding "no devices found called 'pump'. Do you mean Sony Bravia TV?"

why the fuck didn’t Congress make them laws

Why do you think that would make any difference? Are you not seeing the trump administration straight up ignoring laws that are in place blocking a lot of their current behavior?

Homan accused her of helping people evade ICE by educating constituents on their constitutional rights.

Homan is saying teaching the US Constitution to people is a crime?! What the actual fuck!?

Oh no, does this mean Gen X are going to be the wisened graybeards that holds arcane knowledge and seemly executes feats of magic when related to technology?

 

This was in the 1980s video rental store inside the theme park. It was a great nostalgic recreation of a time gone by, and Commodore 64 is rightfully represented!

So wholesome!

 

Tom Smothers, half of the Smothers Brothers and the co-host of one of the most socially conscious and groundbreaking television shows in the history of the medium, has died at 86.

The National Comedy Center, on behalf of his family, said in a statement Wednesday that Smothers died Tuesday at home in Santa Rosa, California, following a cancer battle.

“I’m just devastated,” his brother and the duo’s other half, Dick Smothers, told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday. “Every breath I’ve taken, my brother’s been around.”
