…i cast speak with animals and asked the horses their names: turns out they were darryl and his brother darrell…

…NeXTstep was built on mach and, although i’m unsure if any antecedents remain in macOS, it was certainly production-ready in its day; i remember a couple of decades ago there were stopgap versions of the HURD built on top of mach instead of their own microkernel but i thought that was only ever intended as a temporary workaround…

…i presume on that basis that sustained developer interest was its greatest hurdle, no pun intended…

edit: …is this the post-mortem you mentioned?..

…the original compact ford ranger was a great little truck!..the midsized replacement forsook its charm, though…

…i’m not even sure who makes compact trucks in australia anymore, but they’re not sold stateside…

…no, that’s just the common american pickup: monster trucks are much larger…

…polar bears are white grizzlies…

…that mercedes wagon is legitimate…

…problem is that manufacturers are discontinuing cars to focus upon SUVs + trucks…

…registration fees should be proportional to GVWR and speed limits (and fines) should be based upon kinetic energy…

…minivans are fantastic purposeful vehicles and probably what one-quarter of SUVs should be driving; the other three-quarters should be driving cars if they hadn’t been swept up in the road-tank arms race…

…so it used to be pretty common in small towns (pre-walmart mainstreet USA) for hardware stores to include a toy department, usually downstairs in the basement, much like how drugstores typically did double-duty as lunch counters…

…the small town where i went to college, though, enjoyed a stereo/mattress/ski shop, and i never wrapped my head around that combination…one of the local grocery stores (pre-hypermarket) also had a full computer department; the most well-appointed amiga retailer i’d ever seen, replete with rendering hardware and video equipment…

…i’m absolutely ignorant of its current state, but every time i’ve checked in on progress of GNU/hurd over the past three decades, it still hasn’t matured into a stable production-ready platform: i’m not sure if that’s an artifact of technical viability or developer interest…

People who use YYZ often live further than that so add any additional time from that.

…ah, that explains the rush…

…i’ve waited thirty years for pinch-rolling to become socially-acceptable again: is now my time to shine?..

…more wakko than yakko, i guess?..

…skinny pants look skanky as f*ck and grotesquely unflattering: just wear shorts instead…

…i mean, let’s be fair: voyager set the bar so low the franchise nearly fizzled-out in its wake and arguably never recovered…

…when even the drafthouse is doing substandard presentation, what’s the point of going to theatres anymore?..they lost the plot when they added recliners and jumped the shark upon selling to sony…

…my grandmother never drove in ninety-one years after suffering a siezure in her youth; now i work with a girl who does likewise…
