👻I managed 20/20 and my bones are dust.

@Shards 20/20 for me too. I used to have 20:20 vision, and a head of hair, but am enriched with knowledge I wish I’d known when younger

Hell, I had an arrhythmia computer in one ICU that used a platter that was 24” in diameter, iirc. Booting that bad boy up after a shutdown was a nightmare, took about five minutes and was common to have it crash on startup. Worse was the unit at another facility, it booted up from a paper tape spool, and though it never tore and always managed to boot up without a glitch, it was quite nerve wracking

@Shards I’ll show myself to the nursing home….

@Shards Bingo!

@Shards 19/20 here. I never owned a paper encyclopedia, but I've used one many times. I feel this is an odd one out though. It says "used" instead of "owned" for the other items in the list.

@Shards 19, since we did not have Blockbuster here

@Shards I managed 19/20, because we didn't have blockbuster. 20/20 for generic video rental place.

@Shards
I missed 20 (i used cheques to draw money, but the only thing I paid with a cheque was using a special, conformed cheque) and 15 (when I finally owned an VCR, videoclubs were disappearing, no blockbusters on my neighbourhood).

Also, who pays for the time we waste to analyze everything, get rid of ads, etc.?

[jigmedatse@social.openpsychology.net]

@Shards@kind.social Only 19... But I'd say it's a technicality. There were no Blockbusters, it was a local video rental place... We were that cool (or that far out in the boonies, that you had to build your own video rental places, no big chains coming in to save you for the evils of 2 channels, and nothing to watch) (yes I'm being literal about the 2 channels).
