Had some great times in college playing Risk. We would set up three or four boards in different rooms and each player was separated and couldn't see each other. We then had "scouts" who went between rooms to provide limited r

You're thinking of Tic-Tac-Toe. Me and my friends played Axis and Allies for probably close to 500 hours in the 80's (middle & high school)

Lately, my Teams has been popping up a purple bar that says, "other people may not be able to hear you". Yeah, duh - I wasn't talking!

Is developing the film yourself an option anymore? I admit it's been 30+ years since I developed any film (and that was B&W), but it wasn't that hard. A film reel and some canisters, a dark bag for loading the canister. All th

My pizza place has caller ID hooked into their POS computer. When I call, it brings up my order history and I can literally say "same as last time" and my order is complete.

Shit! Shit, shit, shit, shit! Both my wife and my son have their Android accounts set up through our GAFYD account. Untangling that is going to be a mess.

Tracing the defunct lines is fascinating to me. They are _everywhere_ in the US.
