The Nobel Prize committee really seem to be trying hard to make this the worst set of awardees ever, aren't they? All we need is another Kissinger-esque situation for the Peace Prize and a Handke-esque situation for the Literature prize and they'll have disgraced the Nobel Prizes permanently.

I've still got my copy of Windows 3.1 on 3.5" 1.44 MB disks; there are seven in total.

Now, Windows 95, that was a monstrosity on floppy disks.

As somebody who fell into the deep end of a pool when I was younger of my own accord and took a decade or so to learn how to swim after that, I can say that's the sort of thing that's gonna fuck that kid up badly. Even today, I'm not entirely comfortable in the water.

I think the PRC lacks something in the soft power stakes; they've created some degree of good will outside the West, but they suck at projecting cultural output that doesn't stem from the imperial Chinese era.
