What was that gorilla called? Bonzai Buddy, or something like that. Yeah, that was annoying. My little sister installed that on our computer when we were kids and it was a hassle to remove.

Did you post the wrong link? Yours is about "Maximum Path Length Limitation" and the number 128 doesn't appear anywhere on that page. The max path length is 256 characters.

Where did you read that "you can now have 128 files in your filesystem?"

What we need is a mandated and enforced vacancy tax nationwide. Make it high enough to fix the housing crisis.

Forgive my ignorance; I don't know much about Siberia other than it is desolate and not much fun. How did that turn out?

They do look like jellyfish! That, or the ghosts from Pac-Man.

I actually appreciated the article. The section about my car's manufacturer was comprehensive and I learned a lot.

Scary times we live in.

In Japan and South Korea there is deepening concern over the reliability of long-time American security guarantees – whether the U.S. will come to their aid in the event of a war. This has been turbo-charged by Donald Trump’s tough treatment of traditional U.S. allies, which has some in Tokyo and Seoul calling for a reassessment of their non-nuclear policies.
