  @J0hnnyXm4s I think the problem here people are too use o 40 or less characters. It is also difficult for many to type what they want for fear of that digital trail. We have also come to the point were us old school bbs and aol chat room people are becoming less and less. I often have to

  @TheNotoriousLEX My memories of that race is mostly being in AOL chat rooms with people screaming at each other about steroids and Chip Caray with the worst HR call in history when McGwire broke the record. I don't want a documentary to color my experience.

  @swyx @jaredpalmer First software I ever wrote in Corp America was to make sure a large Telco could create a bill supporting that many digits… the intended customer persona: AOL

  @DerrickEvans4WV Can we just go back to AOL and dial up internet? Do we really need everything connected to everything…? I don’t think so. Let’s cancel this AI stuff.

  Starlink, MTN, and Orange are all terrible today in Cameroon. I can’t even get a connection on MTN or Orange, and Starlink is running like 1990s dial-up. I used to log into AOL faster than a webpage loads on Starlink right now. Isn't there supposed to be a Blood Moon tonight? Not that any other blood moon I’ve been a part of changed anything, but TikTok has me convinced I’ll wake up on a new timeline tomorrow.

  I still use my AOL email address that I never bothered to replace (It seemed like such a hassle). Are they up to any crook ****? I hope not.

  AOL and Time Warner didn’t just pay for what the two companies were worth in January 2000. They paid for what they believed the two companies could become together. The announced merger was valued at roughly $350B, with AOL shareholders expected to own about 55% of the combined company. The logic was easy to understand: combine AOL’s internet business with Time Warner’s media assets and create value neither could generate alone. But there was a financial problem hiding inside that logic. Future synergies are uncertain. The merger closed in January 2001. SEC disclosures later put the acquisition cost at approximately $147B. Then came the accounting reckoning. In 2002, the combined company reported a $98.7B net loss, including a $54.2B goodwill impairment. That $54.2B was non-cash. It did not mean the company suddenly paid out $54.2B in cash. It meant the value previously assigned to acquired goodwill could no longer be supported at the same level. That distinction matters. When you pay upfront for future synergies, you are effectively putting a price on value that still depends on execution. If the synergies arrive, the premium can make sense. If they don’t, shareholders can end up carrying the cost. The most expensive synergy is the one you pay for before you prove it exists.

  @brockpierson Best of all were the PackardHell Combo sound card and modem, which would literally have IRQ conflicts with itself! I spent many a long call (AOL Tech Support in 96-98) trying to find a combination that a particular machine would accept.

  My candidate at a small, no-name firm is about to turn down an offer from an international law firm because they use Harvey and his current firm uses Claude. Apparently he cannot live without Claude. Can someone explain the difference to me like I’m my mom in the ’90s discovering AOL? Any arguments for Harvey that I can retort with?

  @brockpierson Read a tech history of AOL and you might get a historical education of the internet service business and it's startup.

  My dad replied to news about my girlfriend with a green check mark. Honestly, appropriate. Our generation only writes well over text because we had to get good at it to date. AOL Instant Messenger, then years of practice with the stakes turned all the way up. His generation never needed the skill, so they never built it. The thumbs up isn't him being short with you. It's the whole sentence.
