I prefer the look of dark mode, but found after a while that I just can't focus as well on it. I think part of it is that light mode provide enough light to cause the pupils to contract, which does actually make it easier to focus for those of us with aging eyes.

You've broken the "latest jokes" alignment with your typo!
I hope you're happy with yourself...

That was just for practice, now I can go on to the main objective.

I’m in love!

At least I thought I was... it turned out to be nothing!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

I can see everyone's excitement over possibility affording a suborbital flight (not even that, more like just high altitude flight with fall back to earth). I would definitely salute them if they ever reach first orbital velocity of 7.8 Km/Sec

Too bad his rocket can't achieve orbit because that means he'll be coming back.

Okay, if that is not thinking alike ... Well done

From what I could read, lots of people are expecting the billionaires to reach orbit so that they can stay there once they reach it.

take me to your leader.
looks like it was a success. this is just the beginning...
can we all say Cyberdyne Systems[^]

Even better: If they can reach something in excess of 43 Km/s (the sun's escape velocity from earth's orbit), you will never see them again in the entire solar system.

In that case they will be leaving for the Proxima Centauri which they should reach in about 1,000 years if the cosmic dust do not eat away their hull before

... waiting for a GTA V Update to finish.
I had half a hour before the court case started (video witness, nothing serious), I thought I'd kill some lawyers for Martin Madrazo.
But no. GTA V is updating to the Los Santos Tuners edition, and that is s...l...o...w.

Recently wanted to do some online gaming, Borderlands 3, with a friend, from around 20:00 to 22:00.
He was running late, so we'd start somewhere between 20:15 and 20:30.
Except there was an update pending and it's required if you want to make use of its network capabilities.
Half an hour later we finally got to gaming.
Last weekend I told a friend about an awesome game I'd played on the PS4, Horizon: Zero Dawn.
I'd show it to him, but I'd have to install it first, because I had to de-install it because a PS4 only has so much room for games.
But I couldn't install it because I'd have to de-install something first...
Gone are the good old days where you'd just insert a disc and get to gaming!
Of course it's not all bad, but it's not all better either.

Ah, the days of sequential reads. I can still hear the tape spinning back and forth.
