Exactly. I read that and scoffed, asking "what have they done to appeal to them other than talk big... Oh..."

"Violence is not the answer" says country that won its place in the world through violence.

Save time and effort by pooping in the shower.

I'm thinking it's something about putting profits before quality, a very American thing. Either that or it's about porn.

At this point, asking a generation or two to be patient is too big of a RISK. There are too many bad actors with overwhelming money and power working against us.

A friend told us to get a Lux Box or w/e they're called after a concert a few months ago, and it had A LOT of food for the low price. Like a burrito, chalupa, taco, cinnamon twists and a drink for $6 or $7, which sounds like a great deal right now. Idk if they still have it or if it was a limited promotion, but that's what I'd get if I go there again (I don't do fast food but very rarely). Other than that, the standard priced items are definitely expensive.

It's also possible you have a faulty motherboard. I would try the CPU on another board, if one is available, and go from there. The same problem on a different board would rule the board out, if it boots than it's likely the Mobo.

The runes on the sword in the main image spell "PLA TEST" (play test). Source: a bunch of stuff I've read and memorized on runes.

The reply only contains an image, which may not have loaded.

My local supermarket has sex toys on upper shelves in the family planning section, which is in the healthcare department. They don't look like dongs, so people shouldn't recognize what they are unless they know about them already. But kids might still ask their parents what that is on the shelf, and that is apparently worse than school shootings.

If it bothers your OCD, think of it more as (7x3)+(10x3)=17x3=51

CEO probably cheated when he played Monopoly too.

 

As a kid, I got my Dad to take me to Funcoland to trade in my Sega Genesis to buy Super Smash Bros for the N64. I kinda regret getting rid of it, but I played the heck out of Smash, and my Dad probably would have pawned it when I got older anyway, but I still missed my old Genesis. So I started looking to replace it.

I found a decently priced Genesis on eBay that came with a bundle of sports games I might never play, as well as a CIB copy of Sonic 2 at my local game shop. I ordered Road Rash 2 on eBay when I saw it was less than the market price. There's still a few more games to collect to rebuild my childhood library (even though some were just memorable rentals). I still need:

  • Sonic collection
  • True Lies
  • Road Rash 1 and 3
  • Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
  • Rocket Knight
  • Rock 'N Roll Racing

What other not-too-expensive games should I get?

Bonus pictures of a couple games on my old CRT for the best OG experience:

 

Most people are over-charging for old, worn-out TVs on places like Craigslist and Ebay, now that people are realizing how much better they are for retro gaming. I saw this one for $25 and had to check it out.

I had to clean up the corrosion in the remote to be able to change to the AV input, but it works well enough. Threw it on the kitchen counter to test it out.

 

Happy Winter Solstice! What traditions do you practice or have started this year? I always keep a candle lit through the darkest night and share mead with the Gods and Ancestors.
