Does the fact that the coffee is iced have anything to do with your decision? Would you bring hot coffee to an interview?

That’s why I hang my hat on the ten I see

All the bills being paid and the fridge being full sure puts a smile on my face and a song in my heart though.

All this means is that the Thomas franchise has existed long enough to be publishing books since when that word was still in common parlance. I’m sure if you looked at anything from that era, it wouldn’t take long to find something that appears problematic through a modern lens.

I win!

“The game is called ‘I win’.”

“How do you play?”

“I win! Want to play again?”

Most houses in the US and almost all houses in other countries too.

It sounds like your issue might be a bad ribbon cable, connector, or some other easy fix. Getting the display working might be doable with reasonable effort. If not, you can make it a:

Minecraft (or any game you like) server.

Steam remote play host machine. Let the laptop do the processing and send the video signal to a lower-performance client.

Load movies onto an external drive. Load emulators onto the hard drive. Use it as a media PC and emulation station.

Video editing machine.

Either way, make sure whatever screen you hook up to it has at least a 60 hertz refresh rate.

If you stream, a lot of streamers use a second machine to record, manage the stream, run the webcam, etc. allowing their main machine to prioritize rendering the game; you could use it for that.

That’s one extreme of the story. The other extreme is that he’d been doing it, along with every other business in that area, for years, because there’s nothing out there. It’s just sand and rock for miles in all directions. There’s nothing to contaminate because nothing lives there.

The only reason he got involved in anything is because he was told it wasn’t going to cost him any money. He shows up and starts filling out the paperwork and it doesn’t say what he was told; it says he has to pay (souces differ) something like $6K-20K for an easement so he can dig up city property to access the sewer line to connect to it. He doesn’t sign that paper. Instead, he gets up and walks away from the table, leaving behind the paperwork he’d already filled out, which included his application to connect to city utilities. Since he filled out the application, they file it, process it, and approve it, which is what “allows” city hall to start levying fines against him for non-compliance.

Every other business in that area continued to do the exact same thing as him, but only he was being fined for it. What’s more, if he’d just stayed home that day and never signed anything, there’d be nothing anyone could do about it.

He knew he didn’t understand the system, so he didn’t want anything to do with it. Against his better judgement, he tried to comply. He started off acting in good faith. When he found out the other party wasn’t, he walked away from the deal. He should have taken every piece of paper with his signature on it with him, but he didn’t because he didn’t understand how the system works.

He thought that since he didn’t sign everything, that meant none of it was any good. When he got the letters from city hall about the fines, he did what he’d done with all the mail from city hall for years: threw it in the trash.

A city government, trying to expand its power and control, absued the system to extort money from someone who wanted nothing to do with them. If city hall had just left him, and well enough, alone, everything that followed could have been avoided.

I think the better point is that these criticisms could be applied to nearly any phone app.

Isn’t that the point of life, to collect fond memories?

And a pedo-bite is what happens a Republican eats lunch.

It’s their money after all.

Only of you’re hourly. If your salary, then it’s your time.

For king crab, yes. For snow crab, you can open the leg with the right technique. Snap it in the middle and you can remove one half of the shell then pull the meat out of the other half.

After some practice, you only need two bites and maybe a little nibble for each one. Then they’re great.

Based af putting Doom 64 above Doom 2016. I’m right there with you, I think Doom 64 is terribly underrated. The soundtrack for 64 is my favorite in the franchise.

Dark Souls

Super Smash Brothers: Melee

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Guitar Hero 3

Fallout: New Vegas

Not really a remake, but there’s a port with a few tweaks called “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest” for the GameCube.

Found the asshole.

How DARE someone take an interest in firearms and ammunition. What a MONSTER I must be.

Do you accuse archers of getting off to arrows? Do you also think mechanics like to fuck wrenches? Does everyone who speaks intelligently about computers get off to graphics cards too? Fucking weirdo.

Funny how Lemmings will smugly proclaim that X, Y, or Z doesn’t define them, then turn around and label others for liking the “wrong” things.

If you can find a computer that needs that, I’ll accept yours.
