Reply to The new generations will never understand the pain for paying $100 for a 1GB flash drive by prettypistolgg
IBM 1301 was the size of a large cabinet, had 80MB storage and costed U$ 115 k. It was launched in 1961. I've never came close to something like that in my life, but it's no mystery to me - storage was pricey and minimal. I think it's the other way around - think of a computer technician from the 60s being thawed from a cryogenic chamber and hearing about storage sizes and bit transfer rate these days.

Yep. I remember being so happy with that "development".

Mid 90's the cost was about a dollar per meg.

I bet you were never as happy as a clam like I was when I bought a hard drive for my PC. It was "only" $500 and it had a whooping storage of 500Mb. I think we're talking late 80s or early 90s.

It's all relative, I never thought it was painful to pay 250 for a 512kb drive. I was the biggest swinging dick with that drive, didn't have to uninstall any game ever.
Point is the new 100 dollar drive is the 1tb and that's bigger than you need right now just like the 512kb was bigger than I needed. No pain just progress, you pay to be on the cutting edge and those that do are happy to. I never once bitched about buying new tech

No, don't do that
Why on earth would you do that?
What the hell are you thinking?

Ovens are self cleaning. Who cares if it drips?
I’m assuming that’s what you’re getting at with this post.

I had a legitimate shower thought taken down by the auto mod… how does this post survive? This doesn’t really make sense, nor is it a shower thought — it’s (nonsensical) advice

why? I’ve never done this. I always put my frozen pizza directly on the oven rack.
