I’m at a loss.

A foot and a half of Subway sandwiches and two bottles of pop is $29 in my country

2000: Big/Fat Pipe

You two have proved me wrong. The US has a super engaged voter base. Right?

WaPo is a mouthpiece for Bezos, and he’d rather have AWS AI be the writers.

Putting more than 256MB of ram in a Windows XP machine. People think that the jump from HDD to SSD was big, but imagine Windows actively using the HDD as virtual memory. It would grind your PC to a halt. Going to 512MB made your computer feel like a Ferrari.

Muh taxes! There’s probably a lot of larger priorities eating up all of Portland’s budget.

Pad, as in underneath the bench.
