… why on earth would anyone want emails in their notifications to begin with?

Someone would have to look at and understand the existing code and infrastructure rather than just throwing it all away and writing a data migration. In other words, it would never happen.

I used to work in healthcare IT until around 2008ish. Various clinics had things running on 3.11, 95, 98, etc.

For the 3.11 case, it was only controlling the door card/lock system IIRC and was not otherwise on the network, but some of the others, less so. We didn’t have direct control over the sites’ decisions and couldn’t really enforce anything so us removing them was not possible. We did everything we could to convince the site mgmt, of course.

Player? Easy. Scarf? Easy. Wearing a scarf? That depends on a lot of factors such as which part of the body, how the models were made and rigged, etc.

Granted. All door animations are now forced cutscenes.

I don’t know that FF had a specific hero as it were. DQ I suppose did in that they were at least named and had some story. Megaman is a good callout, though. We did have them in the computer gaming world in the more nebulous sense (like how I see FF). I guess I’m also thinking about how hero is used here; is it an existing character with a backstory (more like DQ or even megaman) or some character you create (FF again but also all the old SSI games on PC and many others).

I was thinking of fighting games but OP said nowadays it seems that all games are made for teenagers and adults. and I kinda threw the early SF and MK games into that bucket.

I’d argue that xennials didn’t really either. I certainly didn’t think of Mario, Sonic, Doom Guy, etc. as heroes. The closest that jumps immediately to mind as a named person is the protagonist of Wolf3d whose name I won’t attempt to spell here, but even then I didn’t give a shit about his story which, if memory serves, amounted to a blurb in a manual.

My heroes were in print in books and I don’t think there’s anything particularly wrong with that.

Some people are just inexperienced, had no good role models, have trouble getting good advice, or just need a sounding board. The internet loves to jump to break-up/divorce for some reason.

It’s 2025 and I have no idea what the current way to center something is. Then again, my job is that of a backend engineer so it’s rare I’m outputting anything that isn’t a log statement. They can pry tables and center tags from my cold, aging hands.

In my mid-40s and this is more-or-less what I think as well.

or you’re just hanging out with your friends re-creating scenes from your favorite movies outside (or LARPing).

In Chinese yes, in japanese, no (8 would be hachi, 300 is sanbyaku but that n before b is pronounced as m)

Nah, definitely happens at 300 with 三百

Edit: in japanese, but I didn’t list my language since OP didn’t bother.

reduce the flourishes and/or add more spacing between lines and it would be a lot more readable.

It looks like his riding is still closer than I would like with him trailing by only ~3%

Yes, there could be valid usecases to stop a cart, but the manufacturer of the carts should (and possibly already does) implement that and instruct the store on its usage/requirements.

I want to answer your question, but

Could I make a little gun and just walk around through the parking lot and aisles of the supermarket and freeze all the carts in place?

Means I won’t do so. Why would you do that to people?

wrong

Incorrectly

I’m in my mid-40s and grew up mostly around central Ohio and don’t remember hearing it.

I put coffee grounds in the french press and cover with newr-boiling water (~90c) which agitates and mixes things. 5 minutes or so later, I just pour my first cup
