   I own computer equipment, not a discotheque.  Fewer blinkin' lights, please.  Very hard on NEET eyes, even if I'm not presently a NEET.

         @clacke while recalling a bit of the old US south there, the computer not being "for shopping" (if I read this pidgin German with my pidgin German well enough?) tells how far we've progressed today.  :-P
         
         it's a fun artefact of computer culture.  I've always appreciated this.

            @awg @clacke "GEFINGERPOKEN UND MITTENGRABEN" == poking with your fingers and grabbing with your mitts (hands)
            
            I saw this for the first time less than a year ago (sign in the server room in #Louisiana). I really did LOL.

            @awg I don't see anything about shopping. There's the part that @lnxw48a1 commented on and then there's the "IST NICHT FÜR GEWERKEN BEI DUMMKOPFEN", which just means not for use by idiots.
