I’m old enough to remember when both released and I don’t have a good answer to this, assuming you mean the pink floyd movie and not some other I’m not aware of.

George Carlin said it best, yes a receding hairline is annoying, but no where near as bad as an advancing hairline.
Who would want to have to shave their forehead?
I’ve skated and hung out with a lot of pro skaters over the years at various demos, but the one who is probably most universally recognized is Bam Margera.
It’s either him or Ben Bernanke, the ex federal reserve chair.
My cat was 16 or so years old and in good health, though pretty under weight, when we brought in a 6 week old kitten.
Having been a loner all her life, she wasn’t so happy to have the kitten around, but left her be. My only concern was the kitten was so small she might kill her.
By 18 months, the kitten was larger than my senior cat, but had been put in her place so many times they mostly left each other alone.
Occasionally they’d scrap a bit, but that was just the kitten wanting to play and the old one hissing and swatting her away. Honestly, I think it gave her some needed excercise to be chased around a bit and stalked.
I made sure they each had their own food, water, and litter box, and there never was any real issue.
They both had their spots, the kitten up top of the cat tree, and the old lady in her bed. I think so long as they have enough room to get away from each other it will be fine. They never became friends, but they learned to live and let live well enough. It even reached the point they could both sit with me on the couch and not fight.
Had to put the older cat down a few weeks ago, and as sad as that was, it was very nice to have the kitten at home so the house didn’t feel so empty.
I use three at the office, and two at home.
In both setups the laptop is my keyboard and small screen, above it is a 34 inch 21/9 aspect ratio curved display. At the office I also have a standard monitor off to the side.
The large screen is my primary work space, with various code editors, UI dev tools, web browser, reference docs, and terminal windows.
The laptop screen has email, all my short cuts, and a virtual version of the UI I’m working on because it is also a touch screen.
When I have the third screen I use it for teams, a few system monitoring tools, and youtube for music.
I used dual side by side monitors for years, but found that having the split in the center meant I was always sitting with my neck turned, and this lead to a lot of pain and headaches. Having them top / bottom is a lot more comfortable and my large screen is high enough I now sit up straight.
A curved screen at the right distance also means a lot less eye strain.
I was going to cut off at 2014 as well. I have a manul transmission '14 Subaru and even with all the whistles it has no touch screen, back up camera, etc.
1996 is when US cars standardized on OBD2 computers due to emissions, so to find a truly dumb car you’d have to go earlier than that.
This wizard wins the cookie
Nope, but its true, Vegas does seem to have every monument you can think of.
We have a 1/2 scale copy of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
Oh, I agree, but this was one on one with someone I trusted, and I know my body pretty well.
We went through the books and talked about each excercise before trying anything. There was a pretty good percentage crossed off because they may have caused more harm than good.
I am certianly not recommending yoga in place of medical treatment, I can only speak to the results I had.
Can’t speak to all yoga, and I specifically avoided the woo woo side of things, but it really did help as far as posture, flexibility, and various chronic joint pain.
The way it was explained to me was that various muscle groups were locked up trying to protect for example, my knee injury, so now my hips, back, shoulder, neck, etc where all out of whack.
The process involved working backward through the various muscles and joints, loosening them up so that we could work on the next group, until I could finally move and strengthen around the original injury.
I haven’t gone for about eight years, but keep up with basic stretching and breathing excercises enough to maintain mobility.
In the end I’m going to require knee surgery to actually fix the root problem.
A friend of mine offered me a yoga lessons.
At the time, my body was in a real bad way from decades of skateboard and snowboard injuries. I had just accepted that this was how things were going to be.
I figured what the hell, it can’t make things worse.
Over the course of about six months, I was able to walk, move, and sleep almost like normal. While it couldn’t fix much of the actual damage, my range of motion greatly increased, I have a lot less headaches and neck pain, and the pain in my joints has greatly diminished.
Now at almost 50, I am back on the boards, though since my landing gear is fucked it’s a much more mellow style of riding.
Mine was a Tandy TRS 80 in the early 80s, which had both a cartridge slot and an audio cassette drive. Most all the programs I had were bootleg tapes though I don’t know where they came from, I’m guessing my father through work.
I can remember a few of the arcade clones, Zaxxon, Pac Man, Donkey Kong with a terrible 8 bit version of in the hall of the mountain king.
The two that stand out were a painting program I learned to glitch by fluttering the reset button while it was doing fills, and an ascii adventure game call Nahga or something similar that felt like the biggest world ever.
One day home sick I was using it and vomited an entire strawberry milk shake on it, it was an all in one unit w built in keyboard, and I messed it up good.
Taking apart and cleaning it was my first experience working on hardware and certianly left an impression in me.
I’ve only done it from the depths like twice. Master key or valley of the drakes all the way.
I have had a much better time w Skyrim mods than FO4 on the PS4 as far as stability goes.
I only have it on PS4, and yes there are lots of mods in the workshop. There are obviously limitations.
Every few months I try installing various mods to make what I want out of it, darker nights, flashlight mod, weapon and armour changes for a more hard core experience, etc, and end up with 15 or so mods installed.
Start a new hardcore mode, get just about past diamond city, and the game invariably starts crashing.
No idea which one or ones are causing the issue, and in the end I get annoyed and go play something else.
This is all fine and good till it’s a conflict between two specific mods. Damn you FO4 on PS4, why you gotta be like that?
I agree, I did rollerblade as well for a while, though I stopped before grinds really became a thing. We tried, but the frames at the time just weren’t built for it.
It just became about jumping bigger and bigger stair sets, and at some point you either give up or really get hurt.
Now days due to various injuries I can’t blade or ice skate, though I can still hold my own in a skatepark or on a snowboard.
I’ve been skateboarding since '85, and in the 90s is was basically dying out as everyone turned to rollerblades. The one two punch of Tony Hawks Pro Skater and Tony landing a 900 in the Xgames on live TV really reinvigorated the sport.
And small blue creatures from alpha centuri where real small blue creatures from alpha centuri.
