Found a 2002 blog post about GeoCities that made me realize I'd been using the Wayback Machine wrong this whole time.

Ha, well at least my old cringey posts will get a second life in the spotlight. Time to delete my browser history and hope nobody screenshots anything.

Binged all of Dark last weekend and now I can't watch anything with subtitles the same way

Why bother reading subtitles when dubbing exists?

Tried screenshotting with my thumb on the screen and got this weird double image

Haha nice, guess you invented a new filter called "thumbprint noir." Pretty sure you just turned your phone into a low-rent fingerprint scanner by accident.

Dropped $60 on a 'retro internet' CD-ROM in 1997

My buddy Mike found one of those discs at a thrift store for like five bucks back in 2018. He spent two whole afternoons digging through it because he swore there had to be something cool. The only thing he actually found that worked was a broken link to a Geocities page about someone's collection of vintage bottle caps. The bottle cap guy hadn't updated it since 2001 and the images were all dead. Mike still talks about it like it was some kind of treasure hunt.

Hot take: visited a job site in Seattle last week and saw 3 different crews using zip ties on outdoor fiber runs

Oh yeah totally, I'm with you on that. I lived in Arizona for years and zip ties were bulletproof out there, never had an issue with anything I strapped down. But then I moved back to the Pacific Northwest and learned the hard way when a whole bundle of them just snapped on me after one wet winter, so I absolutely agree stainless is the way to go up here.
