I kept reading it as first person shooter.

Claim that you killed Osama bin Laden first. Then we’ll talk.

I don’t know. It might be that it was usual at that time to rent those things than to buy them. My parents also had a rented water heater when they owned a home, which is why I didn’t even think twice about it.

I don’t know how expensive those boilers were in the 80s.

I have since replaced it with a water heater I bought outright. Sadly a heat pump isn’t an option in my home. So it’s a simple electric 80liter water heater.

I’ve since replaced it with a water heater I bought outright. For a while I wasn’t aware that you could just buy a heater. So I just gritted my teeth and paid up.

But my point was the weird and pointless increase of fees.

I was renting a water heater. It had been installed in my house in the early 1980s. And the rental contract had been handed down from home owner to home owner.

But there was never an attempt at maintenance, even upon request I got told “there’s no need, there’s nothing to maintain on it.” but they kept increasing the rental cost year over year “because of inflation”. It had been paid off for decades! What do you mean you need to charge more? What exactly am I paying for? My water heater is just a number in your books. You have zero costs for it!

I don’t know if I have the stamina to go for 3 to 5 days, let alone longer!

Because those hunks never survived the movie.

Longer than 15 minutes?

Next up, a paid Google subscription for a blue check mark in the search results.

As a QA person I despise those programmers.

“Sure buddy it works on your machine, but your machine isn’t going to be put into the production environment. It’s not working on mine, fix it!”

🤢 What an awful day to have a too vivid imagination

Because people keep asking stupid questions

Nederlands is my native language. And I speak English, some German and I can make a fool of myself in French. And I can order a beer in Spanish and thank you for it.

First operating system was DOS 4 or 5, I think. On big 5.25” floppy disks on an 8088. Unless we’re counting whatever was running on a commodore vic20.

My first Linux distribution was Red hat Linux, somewhere around 1997, 1998 and I had a really tough time getting it installed.

I also once had a trial version of os/2 warp. Which was fun but pointless.
