Sent this to my wife and we talked a bit about how I don’t like lights on.
I realized that even when I’m home alone at night (and not taking care so that she doesn’t wake up), I will use the flashlight/torch on my cell phone rather than turn on lights in the house.
I just picked up Fallout 2 at GOG for $2.49. There are so many games you can get for less than the price of a coffee. The best way to fight against these prices is to simply not buy.
I’m old enough to remember when Doom 64 for the N64 was $74.99. In today’s money that’s around $145.
I’m not saying that’s reasonable, I’m just saying it used to be a lot worse in the cartridge age.
Yes.
It all makes sense when you realize that a good number of them feel that Palestinians are not people.
Yeah I’m wrong. Thanks for the correction.
You have to be A- or O- to do power red.
My understanding is that being nearsighted is a relatively new phenomenon that is largely due to being indoors a lot. Farsightedness in old age has been around since humans have been humans.
I took a quick look and Wikipedia partially bears this out re: nearsightedness.
I’m O- so I give two units of red cells and get saline and the plasma/antibodies back. The guy at the donation site says “make sure you don’t drink any alcoholic beverages for 24 hours…but you can have one if you want.” He looks back to see if his manager is around and then whispers “you can have two but don’t leave the house.”
On the internet, everyone is American.
I felt this way at one time when I was younger. Now I don’t give a shit what people want to do with their own bodies.
It seems like alternatively you could cross the border to some other country and not have to do this anymore. Slovakia gets all the breaks.
When I was truly destitute, I ran a computer without a case. It was literally in a cardboard box on the floor.
Thanks for that link. I’ve never heard of that site and it’s really informative.
You can defeat Jesus on technicalities. This is why it’s always important to have a lawyer write your holy books.
Looking at my work machine…Microsoft Teams is taking up over 100x as much memory as I had in my first PC.
This happens at my employer from time to time where the default action is for something to be off. So the option is “Turn off X” with a checked checkbox next to it.
This is negative logic and is stupid. Turning on an option should enable something. Turning it off should disable it. If the default is that it is off, then give it a positive description “Turn on X” and then default the value to off.
I get really angry about this if you couldn’t tell.
I wonder what the source is because in 1784, Connecticut made claims on the northwest part of Ohio (the Western Reserve). Virginia did have a claim on some part of central/southwest Ohio called the Virginia Military District, but that’s all I’m aware of.
