0 point gang rise up.
But don't rise too quickly. I know our backs don't like that.
I have 1 point but only because there was never a Blockbuster in Germany. Can I rise too?
Also german, I guess any spot to take out videos counts also. So welcome to the "0 point club".
You can rise.... But let's be extra careful with raising that right arm.
The fire rises brother! (OK, not an appropriate quote, just wanted to say it.)
I assume there was an equivalent service though?
Same, 1 point because no Blockbuster in NZ
Hey folks, is this where the old farts are hanging out? Point me toward the bathroom, I'll be a while.
Whoa whoa whoa. I'm only 33. I just happened to like old shit growing up and I got to use it all right as it went out the door and got replaced haha.
Fellow early 30s 0 point gang right here, my back has been flaring up lately…
Gotta get a heated massage chair. It does wonders. Just sit in it for 30 minutes after work and you'll feel so much better the rest of the evening.
Preach on, brother. Just came back from my physio. He did some dry needling on my lower back because it ain't what it used to be when I was still Wired for Sound.
Yeah I can't recall using a typewriter seriously, but for sure I've used on for fun. Also trying to get a commodore 64 to print my homework in 1992 should aub in nicely.
My great aunt left me her typewriter when she passed. My father holds onto it as I have nowhere too to store it and he enjoys using it from time to time. It's becoming harder and harder to find replacement ribbons or people that can repair it at all, but it's still kicking. I typed out a few short papers on it in highschool just for fun.
I'm not 100% sure that's the exact model I have but it looks like the right one.
I learned to type on one of these. I still can't unlearn the habit of having to use actual force to type - my neighbours can hear my typing on my mechanical keyboard. :D
I did unlearn the two spaces after a '.' so that's a win at least.
Oh yeah. If you've been typing on one of these for awhile and then you switch to a modern mechanical keyboard you'll be bottoming out the keys constantly. You should get some o rings or pads to help with the sound if you're still slamming keys that hard after all these years lol.
Yup, flat zero.
