As far as playing it, one of my kids uses BlueStacks[1] a lot to play old/beta/abandoned mobile games. It's like an emulator that lets you run mobile APKs on PC. That would be way easier than trying to find an old phone and a

It's not that outrageous. There are government-run liquor stores all over the country, and even government-run grocery stores, most notably at every military base. The image here of one seems like a totally normal grocery store: https

2003 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. It’s got a sweet V8, it’s a ton of fun, and it’s pretty straightforward to work on. The last of the great American V8 sedans unless for some reason you’d want a Charger.

It might be apocryphal, but my understanding is that he did this less out of a sense of civic duty and more because the skilled tradespeople liked their existing lifestyle and did not want to work in factories much, so they needed a big rai

Sure, some of the web is read-only, but what about commenting, contact forms, forums, eCommerce or anything else that requires a proper server? That's a big advantage WP and other full CMS have over static site generators.

Those throwback re-releases of Sega or Atari consoles with a bunch of games built into them. They're fun for the first few hours and they work well, but they end up collecting dust. Turns out those games aren't as fun as they were
