Hard to avoid the local cable monopoly for internet.

Gonna need some citations for that.

I just use "spouse" most of the time. We're not married. Fucks given: 0

I've been trying to talk my spouse into watching that one for years. She refuses. Sigh.

I picked the wrong week to stop huffing hairspray.

Once upon a time, nobody could ever need more than 640kB of RAM. Every "hardware ceiling" ends up being a temporary plateau. How long that plateau lasts is anyone's guess. They'll chase "content" for awhile, and then some form of content will demand more power for something either new or evolved, and it'll be back to hardware races.

Either way, as long as a market exists for dedicated gaming consoles (hi, I'm that market, zero desire to maintain a PC after 25 years in IT) they'll stick around.

Agreed. Anyone with half a brain knows that it's going to be Canada that takes us into WW3. With the world distracted by all of the other hostile land grabs, Canada will seize the initiative and take Greenland since it's likely to live up to its namesake soon. This will set off Britain's alarm bells, and they'll take Iceland as a hedge against Canuck imperialism. And once Britain is distracted enough, Argentina will be all, "fucking finally" and take the Falklands. Never one to miss an opportunity for oil, the US will decide to preemptively seize Antarctica before the Argentines can expand further... just in time for a few ice shelves to break off and become free-floating. And while the sacrifice of Florida, the Mississippi Delta, and about half of New Jersey will be deemed worth it from the US perspective, the sea level rise will make the previous fighting over islands seem pointless.

All of this is ,of course, contingent on no one being idiotic/spiteful/ignorantly self-righteous enough to launch a nuke. That changes the calculus enough that no mere shitposter doing a prolonged ass-pull could realistically predict beyond "so much for mutually assured destruction."

 

Good info but definitely has Monty Python energy:

 

Any ideas on what kind of spider this is? Main body is a little over 1cm long, location is US, northeast coast.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Not sure it was worth the hour drive plus the hour wait in line, but at least we got out of the house. Pickings were slim, with most of the exclusives gone even though we got there early. They had tons of the HG Destroy, which hurt to pass on but the budget ain't what it used to be 😅😒

 

...this is one I'm actually considering trying. Lizalfos tails in particular. Dunno why they needed to be so rare (and so many required for upgrades).

Tap for spoilerI'm not entirely sure I agree with the layout of the format/dialog, but I figured I'd post it since nobody else has yet AFAIK
