Punched In The Face By A Fly

LISTEN IM ONTO SOMETHING-

Windows NT Business released in 1993. I'm looking up the main differences between 95 and NT, and there's one thing that's specific that's caught my eye.

Windows NT wasn't technically succeeded by Windows 95. No, no, no. Windows 95 was meant for home use. Businesses used Windows NT for awhile after. Not until Windows 2000 which officially released February 2000 was Windows NT outclassed.

So let's say, hypothetically speaking, it's the late 90's and you're running a spooky Institute that still needs an operating system for its daily work. You would use Windows NT as your operating system. Your IT department is probably going to upgrade your systems in the year 2000, when the new release is out.

It's a shame though that, you know, The Magnus Institute burned down in 1999. I guess they never did upgrade past Windows NT.

TMAGP 9 SPOILERS

- Teddy lives! But lost his job...

- Chester serves up a Magnus Institute record to Sam just as he's about to give up...

- Celia hasn't seen the same amount of paperwork at all.

- Gwen's new job (and attitude) bore me. Presumably it will get interesting, but she's just got her first assignment.

- Sam says "I think I'll risk it"...right after a gambling case where risk killed two people. Slow your roll, son!

- SAM'S GOING TO THE MAGNUS INSTITUTE

- AND BRINGING ALICE. FUCK

Ohhhhh good take. I have this sinking feeling that Alice is the meta canary overall, and when she stops fucking around the plot will go full dark mode. Or she'll go batshit for real.

I'm a bit late but I love how Alice was Sam's canary in the latest episode. She acted as a constant reminder of the danger present and reigned him in when things were getting too dangerous. But she also didn't fully squash his hopes.

I wonder if/when she's gonna completely stop singing. (Or Sam stops listening)

Based on Mary Shelley’s post apocalyptic novel The Last Man. It’s very interesting, before I’ve read it I’ve seen it described as Mary’s expression of loneliness after most of her friends and family passed away, but interestingly, up until the last chapter the novel is filled with the feeling of community and affection. I liked it very much.

In First Shift, Gwen accuses Alice of nepotism in helping Sam get the job. Alice says "I learned from the best"- so "Bouchard" probably carries much the same legacy in this world as TMA. Maybe Elias is even in power somewhere up the line.

I don't know what that means, but feels like it's either important or a red canary. I mean herring.

That maple-flavored american makes great rage noises
