I was watching This Is England from 2006, and it reminded me of the olden days of yore, in the fabled before-times, where people would just bunch up together every Friday in someone's flat, get drunk, blast music, and talk without distractions.

I can barely remember it now.

Anyway, get off my synthetic lawn.

My friends and I would be glued to the N64 or xbox instead

    God I hope that's AI generated. The sheer load on those wires... maybe 20 machines could work off a 100A wire, but every other row there would need its own circuit and fuse.

    Brownouts must have been plentiful and devastating

    AI generated? That's quakecon! I was there! We ran lots of wires. We had to bring in 2 18 wheeler sized generators plus the hotel's power. We really only had brownouts at QC 2000, I think it was. It's was just solving for numbers once we knew the metrics to hit.

    Well, that and money, but id always stepped up.
