Prior to the website rpmfind.net, installing software was to put it mildly, a chore. Due to package dependency, you’d start the compile, and it would fail due to missing libraries. You’d then go out and find those libraries, only to have them fail on compile…due to missing libraries…it would go on like until you finally were able to compile the original package - at this point though you compiled it out of sheer spite for the universe that put you in that position.

I rate the experience a solid 5/7

There is/was a restaurant that offered IIRC $8/1 bowl, or $11 unlimited bowls (this was ~20 years ago). It was called BD’s Mongolian BBQ, the crazy constructions I saw while eating there was ridiculous. Same goes for when we used to have Indian buffets (pre-COVID). I think the most insulting thing was that these were people who based on their dress, and the vehicles parked outside, did not seem to be hurting for money

…but that’s like 78% of why I got one

Obligatory (there are several versions of this, but this is my favourite 😁 ):

A World War II RAF pilot is reminiscing before school children about his days in the air force.

“In 1942,” he says, "the situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember, " he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these fokkers appeared.

At this point, several of the children giggle.

I looked up, and right above me was one of them. I aimed at him and shot him down. They were swarming. I immediately realized that there was another fokker behind me."

At this instant the girls in the auditorium start to giggle and boys start to laugh. The teacher stands up and says, “I think I should point out that ‘Fokker’ was the name of the German-Dutch aircraft company”

“That’s true,” says the pilot, “but these fokkers were flying Messerschmits.”
