re: Life hacks for Gen X

I like them, too.
Notice how Gen-X is all over the place. For years it starting in 1967, now it's 1965 with a couple stating 1966.
Which is it? Am I or am I not? I always thought I was between Late Boomers and Gen-X.

I use to clean the piss out of my mouse ball. Once I realized it collected dirt and would cause the wheel inside to collect dirt as well I would keep mine clean.. Every two or three days I would clean it.
Also, I use to watch Cinemax at night, on the weekends when I would get to stay up late.. The remote in hand with my finger on the previous channel button.. That was on ESPN.
Never knew there was such a thing specifically for rewinding VHS tapes.

You cell phone can download "offline map data" for any directions you need.
google maps, start a trip, and there's a "download offline map data" option

Oh and btw, I've started 2 threads throughout the years here discrediting the millennial declaration.
This proves it even more. I know all these references and did most of them growing up.
I was born in 1983 and I'm considered "millennial".
Yet I went through the end of records, start of cassettes, Betamax, VHS wars, home video cameras, CDs, DVD, black screen computers with no hard drivers, 5 1/2 floppies, etc, commodore 64 dial-up BBS, AOL, Prodigy/Compuserve, laptops. broadband internet, pagers (had pager in high school), first real adoption of cell phones (nokia all the way up to the RAZR), cable TV, the birth of the FOX network..
My friend has a daughter who was born in 1996, and by that time highspeed broadband internet was already starting to appear in every household that had access, and she has no idea what a pager is, and barely knows what VHS and cassettes are.
Somehow we are both in the same generation according to some people. No way at all.
That's why I proposed there needs to be another generation definition between X (my brother and sister, born in the late 70s) and people probably up unitl 1985-1989, I would call us the Nintendo Generation.
I would start milieninials around 1990-1994ish

Channel 46 where I grew up. Those were the days where if you bought a wrestling or boxing PPV you had to drive down to the cable provider and they gave you this cylinder to screw into your TV and then the cable into that. Parents never knew that I took it to my room to unscramble the porn channels. Office was only open Monday thru Friday so dad would pick it up on Friday and take it back on Monday. They never figured out why I still wanted buddies over to watch SummerSlam when I was 17.

Being born in 82, I was told I was gen X for years. And now some people try to tell me I'm a millennial.
Can someone explain this to me??
We were gen Y. They decided to rename shite and change dates.
Gen Y are the late kids of boomers.
If you ask me, millenials are the kids of Gen X.
Our kids are the ones coming up now.
Gen Y and our kids are some cold motherfrickers

I have a shite ton of map offline data stored. I do that when I fly somewhere so I can see my GPS over the map on a flight. It's a neat way to track your flight if the airline don't have the doodlebop to do it. So I hear ya. I still print the paper as a backup. Phone dies or lost etc.

#1 was city national Bank. 504-387-5411 in Baton Rouge. Also another gen x life hack if you need to know the time and weather.

I'll be 50 in just over a month. I understand each reference.
Wish I was still 30.

Glad no one will ask you because that's mostly wrong. The youngest of the Gen X parents oldest could fall in the millenial generation, but a vast majority of Gen X's children were born after the millenial generation.
Baby Boom= '46-'64
Gen X= '65-'80
Millenials= '81-'96

It's a mixed bag. Millennials are kids of older GenX and younger boomers.
