Thank you! I wanted a machine that could play both MS-DOS and Windows 9x games with good performance, so I set myself the goal of trying to get the coolest hardware up to 1999. - Pentium 2 at 300 MHz - 384 MB of RAM - Nvidia TNT2 Ultra - So

Ha, last week I finally finished assembling my retro PC, and just yesterday I was showing Jazz Jackrabbit to my girlfriend's son. He liked it, and he was surprised to see the "Epic Megagames" logo, he didn't know it was

That is correct. In my home country, Spain, such ovens still exist, although nowadays they are few and far between. The few people who still use them keep signing their bread, a tradition that goes back to at least the Ancient Egypt. You ca

The Vatican doesn't interpret the Bible literally, and accepts the Theory of Evolution. Heck, the guy who first proposed the Big Bang theory was a Catholic priest! (Georges Lemaître)

My very limited understanding of the topic is that for a gravitationally bound system like the Earth, the usual rules apply, but on cosmological scales the expansion of the universe means that time-translation is not invariant and thus cons

I live in Japan and I find the Japanese new year celebration or it's lack thereof absolutely depressing, but to each their own.

Regarding "car", there is a third option: "auto", which if I am not mistaken, is the preferred word in the Southern Cone. But yes, it is mostly a difference of vocabulary, accent and pronunciation, and also how or if to

I am Spanish; we have a very strong dubbing industry and pretty much all movies have been dubbed since forever. In fact nowadays we usually get two dubs, one for Spain and one for LATAM, with serious online fights about which one is better

Yes, optical drives tend to fail. A couple of days ago I tried to play with my old Gamecube that had been in storage for at least 10 years, and surprise, it doesn't read the disks anymore. On the other hand, a few months ago I bought a

That happened during the Great Tohoku Earthquake of 2011. There is an excellent Netflix series about the Fukushima disaster called The Days which depicts the family of a powerplant worker from Mutsu struggling with the winter weather after

In addition to what the other comment said: the weather is quite harsh, the cities don't offer many services (and the villages offer none), and transportation is quite bad.

1) Asian where? Asia spans from Japan to Turkey. 2) The weather is definitely a big factor. The cold, some of the highest amount of snow fall in the world, strong winds, and houses without insulation make for a poor combination. It is so na

I mentioned it in another comment: I am working in Aomori and my company struggles to find qualified engineers because few people want to live here. The climate is a MAJOR issue. Kyūshū looks like a much more attractive option.

Sapporo might be denser that the average American city, but it is still endless urban sprawl. It is nothing like Tokyo or Osaka.

True. It doesn't help that most streets don't have sidewalks and you are forced to walk on the road. And even when there are sidewalks, people ignore them...

Yes, it is a question of visibility. You have two cars coming from opposite directions, both want to turn right (Japan drives on the left), and both think they can do it safely, but all of sudden another car pops from behind. I have seen ma

I live in rural Japan, and in my experience, drivers are also crazy: * They stop on the side of roads and streets whenever they feel like it without worrying about blocking the traffic. * They don't turn the lights on no matter how bad

I don't understand either. Seriously dude, is it so difficult to explain what you actually mean instead of talking around in circles?

I recently tried to run a CentOS 7 container (LXC) on ProxMox 8 and it didn't work because CentOS 7 uses cgroup v1 which is not supported anymore by most recent distros (they are all on cgroups v2). So your container might or might not

I don't know why you got downvoted, because you are right. There is no problem with keeping the Ceph repos, and you can use it with the community repos.

I am from Spain. We have 340 million olive trees on 28 000 km2 of farm land. Please tell me how we are going to do it indoors. Example of an olive grove in the province of Jaén, that alone produces 20% of the olive oil in the world: https:

Plenty of modern countries still have kings. In practice it doesn't affect democracy much, other than being another source of waste and corruption. The House of Lords though, now that is weird.
