  • Oh, I've never seen Grease.

  • Is that Nana Visitor (Kira from DS9)?

  • Finally, I can ditch Encarta '97.

  • Until I was like 23 I didn't know how to cut and peel an avocado. I would peel the skin off in chunks with my fingers like it was a giant boiled egg. It was a very laborious and frustrating process.

  • I don't understand how drivers know if they have enough time to go through a yellow light. I don't drive anymore but for the short time I did I dreaded yellow lights.

  • Once or twice a year, I'll get an eyelash that's grey and weirdly long. Plucking it is so satisfying though.

  • Trying to pick up my cat. She won't let me. I just want to hold her. 🥺

  • A calzone.

  • I've noticed this problem with a lot of media made in the past decade. I think Netflix's 'Ozark' is one of the worst examples. In almost every indoor scene the lights are off or very dim.

    However, I got an oled screen this year, and it's helped a lot with dim scenes. I'm guessing hollywood is calibrating for expensive high contrast screens like oled and mini-led?

  • When I was 10, I went on a trip to Venezuela. At this restaurant in Caracas, I went into the bathroom. It was a single person bathroom. For some reason the door had slide locks on both sides. While I was in there, some kid locked the door from the outside (I could see through a narrow gap). It was a real door, not a stall door. I couldn't unlock it. I started panicking a little and kicking the door. Eventually a waiter let me out.

    I'm still confused about why that door could be locked on the outside.

  • Thanks! I've been collecting old computer books from resell shops. I'll look for it.

  • Thanks! I've heard of FPGAs in the retro gaming space. Cool stuff.

  • Ah sorry I was asleep. Just now reading all the responses.

  • See my reply to jcubed above

  • "But How Do It Know? - The Basic Principles of Computers for Everyone" by J Clark Scott. It's a short self published book aimed at laypersons written in a very simple, sort of conversational style. Through the whole book he guides you to building a functioning computer that does some bitwise operations. I built most of the computer in a simulator program called Logisim (https://cburch.com/logisim/).

    I'd recommend it if you're looking for an easy introduction to the topic. It was a fun read for me. Get the print version; some of the diagrams in the Kindle version are badly compressed.

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    How are computer chips designed?

  • I can't get over how Scott Bakula starred in two shows involving time travel and both had infamously bad finales.

  • Found footage horror. Creep 1 and 2 are my favorites of the genre.

  • I put it in the fridge because cold pizza for breakfast is one of my favorite things.
