   Reminder that reddit is basically all trolls. There is no “end game” for anything going on there.

   I am not associated with the author or book, but I started reading it today and it's a great trip through that world. Recommended if you are (or were) into that period of games. Also: cool DOS-themed website.

    Somewhat tangential, but for unusual uses of Excel I like this video where Michael Shackleford derives blackjack basic strategy from scratch using Excel in about half an hour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCF-Btu5ZCk

    Sounds like dangerous misinformation to me. I expect everyone involved to be banned from Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and Google as soon as possible.

    Surely these people can find something more beneficial to society to work on, such as selling heroin to middle schoolers.

    I use this all the time to pull up C&H references. Here’s a favorite one I found by searching for “townsfolk” (in fact one of two strips that has that word): https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1992/10&#x2

    Living in a high cost of living area is voluntary consumption as much as buying a new BMW every year or taking European vacations all the time. If you want to spend your wealth (and yes, 200k/yr is ridiculously high) on living in SF th

    Yeah that's how I remember it too. In one town we lived in, we always got videos from the independent place. My main memory of Blockbuster is that one time my parents went there instead, and they gave us the wrong movie, which my siste

    I don’t know what high school you went to, but “literally high school computer science” at my school was “here’s how to format a business letter in Microsoft Works”.

    I don’t think that’s true about Civ 6. A lot of people who only ever played Civ 5 might have been “pissed” and didn’t bother to try it, because they didn’t realize that the Civ games change every time, but any actual “series veteran” was fi
