@natecull Possibly the only time in history that anyone, EVER, referred to Girard as 'too metal' LOLOL

@jjg I found that my perspective shifted dramatically once an early-retirement goal was in place. :)

@schestowitz I haven't watched a TV show with advertisements for a decade or so. It does make you wonder when else the microphone is recording though...

@seb_ly looks like the original blog post on this was 30 days ago, but 'updated' on June 26. VCG (China) bought the marketplace part of the business. Seems like regular 500px users are unaffected.

@seb_ly just for ‘marketplace’ users. What about regular 500px users?

@Cando @brandon GTE Internet support - still dial-up days. Caller couldn't pull up a web page. Went through eleven circles of hell troubleshooting painstakingly. Finally, after about an hour, I dropped down to a lower-level of troubleshooting, leaving all presumptions behind. I had him spell out the URL.

@frickhaditcoming @brandon one of my first tech support issues (before I was an actual paid I.T. person) was at GTE - main HQ, long before Verizon days. Guys new Windows 3.11 computer stopped working. I talked to him, verified the issue. Seems he was used to Macs, and when he first got on Windows he pulled up a list of files in DOS. Then he pulled up a list of files on Windows file manager. "WTF? Why do I have TWO COPIES of everything?" So he deleted one copy.

I did not laugh in his face...
