Japan just gave up the floppy (officially), but there will still be other legacy users.
Until VERY recently the US nuclear arsenal required 8" floppies. Disks that went out of favor in the early 70s because they can only spin for a few hours before they start to corrupt.
The one that most blew my mind was that my local Walmart only stopped selling blank BetaMax tapes in the mid 00’s. By the time the store was built they weren’t even selling movies on VHS anymore, but the blanks were still worthy of limited shelf space.

Yeah, them = whom and they = who.
I recently learned (in my mid-40s) that I’ve been figuring this out the hard way most of my life.
I always diagram the sentence in my head, as in: The subject is fear, the object is Rush, so it’s ‘whom.’
My wife has a simple grammar rule that if him/her
works then it’s whom, if she/he
fits better then it’s who.
I feel like my primary school teachers did me dirty.
It’s good to have options, but I prefer delivery pizza when it’s cold.
When it comes to the mess that history has made of English, Susie Dent should be sought for guidance.
Trump is too much of a narcissist to be an atheist. How could he not believe in himself?
My wife and I have been rewatching Bob’s Burgers again. Yesterday we hit the end of Season 12 and watched the movie. We missed the last 4 episodes of the current season, so we have some new stuff to look forward to when we get to the end.
At 41, he probably already passed on his genes (if he was ever going to).
Maybe Borderlands/Pandora is where you go when you die. It might explain why he doesn’t want to talk about it.
That was my (hand-me-down) alarm clock in high school in the mid-90s.
M.A.N.T.I.S. with a budget, no Fox involvement, and no invisible dinosaur finale.
The closest I come to chatting is asking github co-pilot to explain syntax when I’m learning a new language. I just needed to contribute a class library to an existing C# API, hadn’t done OOP in 15 years, and had never touched dotNet.
I get that urge time I use a helical staircase with a human (or larger) sized central air gap. I think it’s a niche form for High Place Phenomenon… maybe because I watched too much Batman (TAS) as a kid.
When I was degoogling a couple years ago I had a heck of a time choosing between protonmail and fastmail.
I went with the fastmail and, while I have no complaints, I’m starting to glance at greener grass.
Doctor means teacher. That’s the pilot’s fault for not asking for a physician.
For context: The Heritage Foundation is responsible for “Project 2025.”
Thanks!
And yeah, I’m prepared for 4 figures on this one. I mean, as prepared as I’m going to be.
I’m sure they also argue with randos about systemd and down vote any posts about any desktop environments other than the one that they use.
