  • Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.

    Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn’t just marketing on computers.




  • I get hit by cars about once a year. I look both ways, and I don’t J-walk.

    My issue is that drivers don’t look both ways. I’m nearly 2m tall, so it’s not like I’m hard to see. I’ve mostly been assaulted through vehicular negligence while crossing near one-way streets, from people turning right on red, and people turning left on 4 lane roads. If someone is coming from behind me at 50 or 60 kph and I am 15 meters into crossing a street, there’s absolutely no way that I would’ve been able to see them prior to me being in their path.


  • The most charitable view:
    To show western governments that the population doesn’t just blindly side with the Israeli government. A major difference between the two sides who are committing heinous acts, is that one side is a government committing genocide, and the other is a military organization (not the government) which was made in response to being forcibly expelled from their land by that government.
    Neither side should be killing innocent civilians, but we should not be collectively taking Israel’s side, like is traditionally done.

    The least charitable view:
    Because people want to get away with yelling Nazi-shit in public.
