It will be interesting to see if they can answer a question better now than with the original Steam Machines ten years ago: what problem do consumers have that Steam Machines solve? Their original answer was a resounding "nothing"

"space is cold" I've always enjoyed thinking about this. Temperature is a characteristic of matter. There is vanishingly little matter in space. Due to that, one could perhaps say that space, in a way of looking at it, has

Odd. I run noscript, so no javascript was running. I use ublock as well. I saw a number of photos. What's your setup? On the other hand, the random bold lines makes it seem AI generated. Dunno.

The technically unnecessary due to pluto.tv, twitch streams etc. if you want to relive that early 2000's period of pre-youtube Shoutcast streaming, a guy has kept a number of low-rez streams going for posterity and nostalgia - includin

"A woman's work is never done." In our agrarian past, the cultural division of labor at the time said that men worked the field, women ran the home. And that later job was brutal, never-ending, and consumed all waking hours

Too true - "dentistry." Which translated into "pull the tooth out." Rough times people went through up until just a handful or two decades ago.

An aspect of this that always strikes me is 1940's or 1950's actors. They lived through the depression, where protein was a rarer commodity. Childhood diseases that we now have forgotten. Their frames are small, but their heads ar

70s? Are the 70s and 80s far enough in the rear-view mirror that they have blended into one? (Well, at least up to 83-84). Or, am I forgetting some 70's pop images/film animation that used this style? I'm thinking of the matt
