true but shouldn't the low be updated with current observations?

That makes sense since my station is probably an international airport also.

Omg... How can anyone afford those prices? Last time I filled up I think it was $2.73 per gallon.

I don't know, this was back around 2007 so I don't remember his specific reaction

I had a Microsoft support scammer once... I let him in to my system too..well not really.

I quickly spin up a quick fresh install of slack ware Linux in a virtual machine that didn't even have x11 never mind wine installed. When it was up I told him a friend uses something called tellynet (aka telnet but I was playing dumb) to help me on the computer.

He telnetted in and could not understand why any of his malware wasn't working...

But what should I do with this robe and wizard hat?

He's like superman. When he needs to charm a partner he quickly finds a phone booth spins around really fast and comes out in a different shirt!

Must be a Europe vs us thing... Here it's been mostly delivery for over a decade

That's what I remember from being born in mid eighties and grew up in the 90s

When has anyone ever driven to a pizza hut? I remember do so as a child but now pizza hut seems like a definite delivery thing.

In this case I do partially agree with it. They are for medical implants and since the expected lifetime of the device is 10 years we need to be able to support them for 10 years after the last surgery.

If the dog eats your controller which allows you to turn on and off your device we need to be able to sell you a new controller and NOT tell you "sorry, you need to spend several hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills to replace the device and go through a traumatic surgery to install it"

Now optimally my company would make a modern program that duplicates the technology but is compatible with modern computers but since are no longer making money on these old devices they don't want to invest the time and money. So yeah..
