By far my favourite conversations to have with people are when they are older than me and I bring up old computer things.

So today I bought some computers off of a really nice guy off of marketplace and we where having a conversation.

He brought up that his pc was something he got off the side of the road, So I brought up the fact that I got a windows NT pc off the side of the road and that I put a PCI graphics card in it because it only had PCI but sadly didn't have AGP, He loves the fact that I know what AGP is and that made me happy.

Than the conversation moved on and eventually I bring up that my first piece of server equipment was an ethernet switch I got that was too old for modern browsers because of java applets, So I use Netscape and than he extra loves that I know what Netscape is and than we had a whole conversation about Netscape.

I got this bad boy last year for 20 bucks and i finally think I have a use for it, the only problem is to connect a screen I need a home made sketchy cable, that plugs into the inside of the server and under the drive tray so I have to have the cover off and the drive tray hanging out. Because I can no longer close the top while the screen is plugged in I also need a piece of cardboard (with a mug to hold it down) to go around the cpu cooler to give it air flow or it overheats

my brain will never un think this

i unironically believe electricity is the closest thing we have to magic in this universe. consider:

it's basically what human "souls" are made of (your consciousness is the result of miniscule amounts of electric charge jumping between neurons in your brain)

when handled incorrectly or encountered in the wild, it is a deadly force that can kill you in at least half a dozen different ways

when treated respectfully and channeled into the proper conduits, it is a power source that forms the backbone of modern society

if you engrave the right sigils into a rock and channel electricity into it, you can make the rock think

there is a dedicated caste of mages (electrical engineers) tasked with researching it in ivory towers

whatever the fuck Galvani was doing with those frog legs

look at this and just try to tell me it isn't a kind of summoning circle
