They still haven’t fully torn down a Texas Instruments plant in Stafford, TX that closed a decade ago. But now we’ve got an In and Out and Costco on the former campus.

I was concerned because I was mostly shore diving. I hadn’t considered LEDs being used for dive lights and appreciate the link.

I grew up pretty spoiled by riches, being certified in the Caribbean, but diving quickly lost its allure to me. You start losing color quickly at depth and it’s like staring into an aquarium while risking your life. Are the tanks still 40l

That’s it. That’s the entire strategy. I pray that the Texas Hold ‘Em fad doesn’t come back. That was an insufferable decade of hearing how clever everyone was.

Came for insufferable comments, left satisfied. The last paradigm shift was radio, everything since then has been evolution and miniaturization.

I question what we’re learning of such value from a 2,500 year old corpse that warrants leaving this person outside of the ground.

The ability to filter what your kids can access disappeared with the invention of the transistor radio.

Personally? Not a fan. But also not a fan of enforcing my opinion on others.

Meh let them do it. They’re annoying to deal with but it’ll make success easier for the rest of us. (And we totally know they’re high despite what they think)

Very cool. He could have probably skipped that voltage conversion.. it’s a very persistent myth across repros on retro gaming. Most of those 3.3V components will run happily at 5V

The Fucked Company guy was doing this 25 years ago. I think his website lasted 24 hours before it got shut down. Sadly, I never did get to order my, “please make it stop, papa Smurf” video.

I’m amazed he’s still at it but the last time I checked in on him he was fighting against all that “ancient aliens” crap so he’s not all bad.

If they can sell me something for $500 or less that will let me shove in original cartridges or floppy disks, I am cash in hand. If they can’t, they go away.

Yeah, NIH had two guys (Lauer and Collins) that tried to do all kinds of things to spread out funding to junior researchers and increase the number of jobs. The entrenched investigators fought them every step of the way and Trump has since

Hell, it’ll make MY life easier. Can’t wait for the day where I can do whatever the hell I want while my car drives itself. Affluent seniors that shouldn’t be driving are an obvious market and it would have been helpful for those in my li

DoorDash.. either the drivers can selectively identify the most expensive entree and remove it without disturbing anything… or restaurant owners figured out they could just leave it out without any real penalty. Happened so many times I go

At $3 your credit card company is just going to comp it to you and move on.

Which is the only good take… if there wasn’t “something promising” with the idea, people wouldn’t have kept at it. There’s only so much time you’re going to waste on pure fantasy before you move on. The whole ordeal had me quite upset as

I’ve met people that have moved to Houston for cancer treatment there, were given 1-2 years to live, and they’re still here 15-20 years later. It is a really remarkable place.

Very cool, really enjoyed this one. I think the boredom would get to me quickly, though.

Is your source on this that 90s era website I’ve seen passed around for 20 years? You truly think that thousands of theologians over hundreds of years never noticed this one simple coincidence?
