It was a shiny EGA card.
On an 8-bit ISA bus, with a whopping 64kB of VRAM. It could display an amazing 16 colours on one screen.
My friend who had a CGA card was so jelly with his four eye-soaring neon colours.
If we're talking accelerated graphics, I bought a voodoo 2 with 8mb of RAM which linked up to my ATI Mach 64 2d-card.
I'd go somewhere in-between to keep things dry.
Condensation around windows and outer walls make great growing grounds for mold. 15°C is the recommendation here.
Shit can happen. Boilers break. Leave your faucets dripping and run your circulation pump off of a battery and inverter to save your pipes.
I plugged one in today. I left the screws loose. Ironically I moved it between two computers that couldn't originally do VGA.
I re-organised my leisure desk. My C64 sometimes hooks up to a TFT thanks to my turbo chameleon 64 cartridge.
Today I hooked my C64 up to my CRT instead. I needed that TFT for my Amiga 1200 which has DVI-I out thanks to my indivision flickerfixer. But I have a DVI->VGA adapter to use that same cable.
In my country we have designated billboards where candidates get to put up their posters ahead of elections. Usually along roads, by malls, promenades, etc.
Messing with those is election interference. Believe it or not, straight to jail!
If the would-be murder was denied the purchase of a gun and then just decided to go get some MacDonald instead, then it's not really attempted murder.
Conspiring or planning, perhaps. But even then you'd need to prove what he was intending to do with that gun.
I've never stood in like for early voting in the EU. I've done it at my supermarket while getting groceries.
Grab a ballot and envelope, enter booth, do the thing, walk to desk, flash id, get crossed off list, watch volunteer put your envelope in another envelope and drop it in the ballot box.
In-and-out, three minutes.
Come to think of it, voting on election day has always been just as smooth. I just have to go to the library or some school, so it's not as convenient.
The theorem holds true. The theorem states that the monkey has infinite time, not just the lifetime of our universe.
That's just lazy science to change the conditions to make sensational headlines. Bad scientists!
A lot of software did not run under windows NT4. Especially stuff that used the soundblaster directly.
Plug-n-play never worked, and drivers for hardware usually only came on floppy for DOS/win3/win95.
For some reason USB-drivers were not installed by default, either. That's after swapping through 18 diskettes during installation. Just copy it all if you're going to have me be a human jukebox.
I don't use make-up, but I make an exception for the soap from the hardware store.
My routine goes a bit like this:
I do this as necessary, but at least before Christmas and midsummer (even if not necessary).
And the car?
That car went on to become KITT.
I don't really watch Christian movies.
The last thing I saw him in was that home alone, but with a dog instead of a kid. "Alone for Christmas". I can't really recommend that, either.
My wife is definitely team 'make it from scratch'.
She is also a very slow cook. We also have an infant that is currently taking up 110% of our time.
It's hard for me to justify spending two hours a night preparing a lunch for the next day. She likes to sleep in, so I never get to eat it fresh.. it's always leftovers.
I don't mind cooking something fresh for lunch or dinner, but I'll do something that takes 20 minutes of prep and then take care of itself on the stove or in the oven. Chilli, pot roast, or a casserole.
I think frozen dinners probably have a better balance of protein/carbs/veg than either of us makes, and at half the price.
