"old money" tended to come with the assumption that you'd operate with a bit of noblesse oblige.


I forgot about this site! Keygen music is one of our unsung cultural treasures imo


Ai used in this way is going to replace gui as we know it. Why click when you can just tell ai what you want to to do.


Because I usually don’t want to talk to computers in front of other people? It isn’t that it feels silly, but that it’s incredibly distracting for everyone to hear every interaction you have with a computer. This is true even at home.

Maybe we can type the commands, but that is also quite slow compared with tapping/clicking/scrolling etc.


So it's not immoral for a rights holder to manipulate you into buying more product...but it is immoral for me to continue to use the product I want, even after the company has made it impossible for me to compensate them for it?


I didn't make any comment on morality, and there's no "continue to use the product" in this entire discussion. It's "buy an old product that a company doesn't sell"


What's immoral about it? The company decided it doesn't want to make money off of it anymore, so he's not giving them any!

Just because it's against the rules doesn't mean it's hurting anyone.


We are here, were everywhere!


Chesterfield, serviette?


Those are British words which Canada uses a lot of.


Popularized by Trailer Park Boys in the 2000s, if not well before


We called em darts when I was in highschool back in the 90s.


I don't remember darts as much on TPB... the phrase "Corey, Trevor, two smokes, let's go" stands out.


Ricky is shot with multiple tranquilizer darts.

Ricky, get the darts out!

Ricky dazily pulls out his cigarettes.

Not those darts!


Another Trailer Park Boys classic: "That's the way she goes"

As a Nova Scotian I can tell you it was present before 2000s... at least 90s.


Can? Where in Canada is this canned brown bread at?


It isn’t, apparently, that’s what I’m upset about. Canada and New England are supposed go way back, longer than the countries. But apparently we didn’t share our bread technology advances.


Check the foreign foods section of your local supermarket. Probably right beside those chocolate sprinkles intended for making sandwiches.


I've had it. You're really not missing out. I always assumed it was a depression era thing (canned bread!).


> I always assumed it was a depression era thing (canned bread!).

1860’s apparently.

It it rare in matters of taste to be able to say it, but you sir or madam are objectively incorrect!

Ok well, maybe that is a bit over the top. But anyway, since it comes in a can, hopefully anyone curious can just try it. Pop it in the toaster oven, put some cream cheese on it, and have it for breakfast. It is a treat, IMO.


We call it spoon bread in the east. True spoon bread is baked in an old tin can. Not sweet.


Door and pool are pronounced the same where I am, with a drawn out double o sound. When spoken rapidly, the vowel contracts, especially in door.


The door vowel placed between P and L would make the word 'Paul' or 'pall' in most English accents. If I imagine 'door' with the pool vowel, I get something like a Scottish pronunciation of 'dour'.
