I mourn the lost era of GameFAQs and rad ASCII art at the head of pure text walkthroughs. Now we have 45 minute youtube videos of "100 new player tips and tricks for Red Dead 2!"

My dad ran a small business from home, I never got told to get off the internet so someone could make a phone call. But yelled at to get off the 2nd line so a fax could come in? Yeah, countless times.

My first phone (a Motorola flip phone) bit the dust after some time in my pocket walking around below freezing temperatures. Some cells within the battery burst/swelled so the battery casing pushed away from the phone and lost contact.

A truth since time immemorial: built-in search for forums sucks, terribly.

There's much less of an adrenaline rush in an extended stakeout and cuffing a suspect when they are walking to their car to go to work, or getting the morning newspaper. The fun is to be had in the kicking in of doors, yelling at terri

I'd be curious to see some of these talks, which ones do you think were most interesting?

Unsurprisingly, that magnetic field is well beyond the strength required to tear apart our squishy bodies. "Fields in excess of 10^9 Gauss, however, would be instantly lethal. Such fields strongly distort atoms, compressing atomic elec

Yeah I'd be happy to. Shoot me a line at <myusername>7@gmail and we'll exchange contact info from there. In short, I started out as a laborer in construction at 18, and have worked my way up through foreman, crew superintend

I choose to work on projects that seem like they'll help. At this point in my career I've helped build over 200 wind turbines, 3 solar installations, restored a good stretch of wetland, and been involved in two dam removals.

It was this. Sleep aids were my saving grace, I think it was generic benadryl but it was about the only thing that let me actually fall asleep and get a half decent night's rest while the rest of the world was making all their usual ev

My employer (construction) did something akin to this during the nasty california wildfires of a couple years ago. The standard shift moved from 06:00-16:30 to 02:30-"Whenever the Safety Dept shut us down for poor air quality", wh

It was an option in the register when I was a cashier during the crash of '08 and I couldn't find a gig elsewhere. But it was against policy to use the feature, since previous cashiers had worked out a way to scam the system someh

This seems like the kind of high importance deliveries that drones could be utilized for, not brining me some munchies at 3am.

Watching images load in line by line at a torturously slow pace over dialup may have helped me build such zen-like patience. ....or explain my appreciation for delayed gratification. Didn't even know I was developing that as a teenager

Is your contention then that every statement even in casual conversation must have background and explanation to cover every possible angle and interpretation?

Its standard to ground out a helicopter carrying a sling load before the load is touched/handled (it may even have a longer grounding cable that drags across the ground as it descends) because it can gather some pretty dangerous levels
