That sounds vaguely familiar. I spent 10 days there last year, right after the Pope’s visit and right before President Obama came down. I miss those days. Truly one of the nicest vacations I’ve ever had.

It is some tasty shit, and a nice break from the obligatory mojito before dinner. Both the dark and light (I can’t remember the name) are made by the State. Not bad for a bunch of dirty commies. “Bucanero” gave us the word “buccaneer” according to one of my Cuban hosts. Something to do with them smuggling bacon, iirc.…

“Oh, men. MEN. Men, today I took a shit that you could have used as a cane!” Magary, you magnificent bastard! It’s only Week One...stop, you’re killing me.

I stand corrected; the original post states that Myst did start in Hypercard. And yes, indeed, I originally discovered many “stacks” on CD-ROMs. Memories....

No, it was one of the first games issued on CD. IIIRC, I needed to load the disc into a holder first...helluva game.

“It’s not a ‘purse’! It’s European!!”

If you haven’t read it (and I suspect you have), American Ulysses, by Ronald C. White completely changed my mind about Grant. He was subject to smear campaigns while he was alive, and apparently a lot of the rumors did not die with him. Arguably won the Civil War (with a lot of help from his friend Sherman) and his…

Yes to the first question; I’ll just pretend you didn’t type the second. “Fine dining,” not McDonald’s.

Is that you, Jian-Yiang?? Excellent reference, I’m just sorry you beat me to it.

Many years ago, I served in a “fine dining” restaurant. A coddled egg was an ingredient in the Caesar salad (prepared table side). Helped bind the dressing, I suppose.

Why? Because he can. SASTSQ. Also, he’s a lying cheat, just like his father-in-law. The rules don’t apply to the Trump crime family, donchyaknow?

So, I shouldn’t have been this guy? Now you tell me...

It falls somewhere between a novelty and a luxury, but maybe closer to the latter with its $130 price tag.

This has been my practice for some time now. I have zero issues with running out of screen real estate. On a smaller screen or a laptop, I’d consider other options.

I have been using (and very pleased with) the “New York Subway” app from Mapway. They have very up-t0-date info on delays, as well as a link to the MTA Twitter feed. It’s available for free with “freemium” features available cheap. Give it a look.

This reminds me of The Simpsons parody commercial for the “Canyonero” SUV: “Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!”

Yeah, who would ever buy a computer without a disc drive?? USB? A passing fad...said many people now proven to be 100% wrong.

Dayum, there are some stupid politicians in Alabama. (Yes, I know it’s not the only state with that problem, but DAMN!!!)

He has all my sympathy; it must be very hard to scrape by on $3.5 million a year...

This is fabulous news, but when does Jeff “I hate pot” Sessions send in the DEA? It is long past time this country grows up about criminalizing a weed, ferchrissakes.
