We used to call them locusts in Texas. I still miss it. Yes, I know they aren’t locusts. We’re all suburban tv babies sharing the same accent these days.

Hey Nicole, shoe horning my PC Engine project onto your last hacker news thread was actually successful at getting the attention I needed! And now I’m sitting on PCE joystick pcbs nobody wants. :)

I first read about this trick in a Heinlein novel, and it involved shipping logs if I recall correctly. Luckily I caught it early in my career - leave in an easy mistake that is trivial to fix and harms nothing. It 100% works. The nitpic

I always felt like she downplayed her WW2 service, which is fine. The article does the same. My Life in France was a fascinating book. At one point she describes dangling raw chickens out of her apartment window for three days before roas

These threads are always great for men posting about how their wives love the imitation stones “just as much” and “I didn’t foolishly spend money.” As always, if it worked for your marriage, it worked, but many of us can sniff out a fake fr

Give him a chance to wrap things up. He’s not going anywhere in the interim.

Starfield looked incredibly boring from the trailers and preview videos. I had to shake my head and roll my eyes at the review scores. I’ll stick to Halo if I want to constantly jump and shoot aliens.

Missouri was the meth capital of the United States and pioneered the laws restricting sales. Meth labs were never run off buying 2-3 boxes at a time - before the restrictions you could buy the pills by the thousands from compounding pharma

https://archive.ph/ePjBp Houston Chronicle has previously committed to releasing articles circulating social media from the paywall, but I guess we aren’t big enough. The guy that runs their website probably posts here, too

If any of this stuff actually worked we’d already be using it. Similarly how every medical problem hadn’t gone away in states that legalized marijuana.

I did. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,167636.0.htm... No shade was intended towards Nicole, she was probably a voice of reason. It’s playable enough I can enjoy it at the moment.
