I have a few prescription medications that are called different things in the US. I thought it was fairly common knowledge with paracetamol, though. Tylenol being one of the common brands names.


The demoscene was brilliant. People shared them sneakernet-style like games back then too, which speaks volumes for how good demos were. Very fond memories.


Lego will always be cool to me. Without wanting to sound like a cliché, the only limit was your imagination when I was a child, before home computing. Forever grateful for those years.


I almost had an Atari, but ended up with the Amiga back in '88, which I am forever grateful for. I'm not sure that I would say the Atari wasn't ground-breaking, though. Think back to the '90s and you can see how much of an impact the Atari had on the music industry in the UK. It was huge, but specific to one particular area - music.


No, it's a 128. The obvious giveaway being the audio.


But that name. Ugh.


As an '80s kid, swedes/turnips were the norm in my hometown in the UK.


I hadn't heard of privacy.com cards, but that thought had crossed my mind. What is to stop organisations simply banning privacy.com cards?


We’ll technically I don’t think they’re able to, but they can ban prepaid cards which I think is how they’re classified.


It would be quite amusing if the final verdict was, amongst other things, "Never mind"


Many? You sure about that? Also, "opinions about sexuality are being presented as fact in contrary to the principles they want to raise their child with". How do you think things like that help?
