I was under the impression that SMCF is a professional troll. I don’t take anything they say seriously.

That explains it. I only knew the term because of a few of the old heads using it when I started in the mid '90s.

Just an aside. I worked well over 20 years in food service as a second job. I don’t think “86” is a widespread term in food service, there are some of us that would know what you meant, but not many. If I had to guess, I would guess its origins were with the Trucking industry, specifically CB/shortwave radio operators since they abbreviated a TON of phrases with numbers.

Which was late '80s early '90s slang for “it’s the best.” I had to double check the scene, but yeah, that was slang.

No X button on the controller. Just A and B.

The Wizard lied to me for 2 hours about that useless piece of plastic.

Is Google fighting itself? Seems like the Android dev team is almost literally indirectly addressing the issues that the Chromium and App Store dev teams just created.

That’s the joke. An American is trying to start an IRA for themselves, and wound up at wildly the wrong institution.

John Hinkley was born in 1955 and seemed to miss Reagan.

The rest of us just code daemons

I vaguely “knew” that alembics, retorts, and calcinators were things because of some fantasy book or another. Morrowind taught me what they were.

That would explain a lot of policies…

And Dick Cheney.

Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂

I don’t care for capitalism, but Adam Smith was an abolitionist. He absolutely hated slavery because he believed it to be immoral firstly, and economically inefficient secondly. He couldn’t prove the second part, but once someone at either Cambridge or Oxford did manage to prove it, Great Britain and Europe outlawed slavery. Again, I’m not defending capitalism here, and I’m certain, from the tone of The Theory of Moral Sentiments, that, were he alive today, Smith would be railing against Capitalism. I’m just pointing out that it was supposed to be abolished far quicker than The Civil War.

So it was a spelling mistake? They’re actually The Knights of The Ground Table!

Not on this side of the pond. We typically don’t have a ground floor, that’s just the first floor.

Same here. We read FFA, The Veldt, The Tell Tale Heart, All Summer in a Day, and a few other short stories in some “advanced readers class,” that we had to go to the library once a week to attend.

I think they were trying to fuck up all the smart kids.
