I loathe that quote, it's so much more nuanced.

A program from the 90s whose task is just to run a piece of machinery? Not broke, no problem

A program from the 90s supporting the bulk of an entire countrys economy that literally can't handle real-time transactions and causes numerous knock on effects as a result? Time replace the shit

They exist, but might not be readily available any more. Ever since the plague it's been...a bit thin on the Chinese buffet front

There's only one left within ~30 minutes of me and it's not good 60% of the time

I believe the entirety of the Gears of War series has a co op mode

Also if you don't know anything about the series like I did before playing Gears 5 with my kids, don't play it with kids....

Oh but wait! That non-customizable ~~account number~~ user ID that you have to wait for in the mail is definitely top notch security!

How about one that starts out as a comedy but then pulls an Orville

You need to pay attention to the thread you're in, nobody asked for 24/7 operation. This entire thread is about businesses that are only open 9-5 on weekdays or some shit. People here are asking for open hours till like 7 or 8 not 2 AM or maybe like a 11-5 on a Saturday.

And FYI, pre-pandemic most Wal-Marts were 24/7, but it proved expensive and they used the plague as an excuse to kill it off. It was their own decision, not regulations.

Are you outside the US or something? We don't get 3 months of PTO time here to waste, most of us are lucky to get a yearly accrual of 2 weeks. Many don't get any.

Show me a municipality in the US that stops a non- liquor/weed/tobacco business owner from working 12 hours or restricts their operating hours

I'll wait

We can't control our work hours for the most part, a business owner can.

And then you wonder why people shop at Big Box stores and Amazon. It's not JUST their anticompetitive practices

Because of ancient COBOL code from the 3 major banks that nearly all transactions pass through at some point. Oh and they can't rewrite them because ~~money~~ "CaNt FiX WhAT isNT BrOKe"

Yea! It's more like 8-5!

Then they can't go an FB or Nextdoor and complain about people not shopping local.
