Holy crap... MUDS... I had nearly forgotten... man I dumped some insane hours into those things back in the day.

Started with local BBS's in Juneau Alaska then once I had real internet access and a 28.8 modem I was accessing USENET and IRC mainly for video game emulators and ROMS. Once I got to college (Fairbanks, AK) in 1996 I started using a program for Macs called HOTLINE that was like USENET and NAPSTER had a baby. I ended…

Brother!? Brother's Don't shake hands, brothers hug!

I worked on phone support for a while and more often than not I wished that Mr. Henry Killinger's magical mystery murder bag was a real thing... the slippers would have been nice too.

My thought was such thin solder would also mean you're continually clicking the pencil to get more. I guess it depends on if you're doing through hole or surface mount soldering. Still I've always just used something like the picture below, buy a large spool and just wind some around a pencil then slide the coil off…

Yeah, I remember playing the first couple Saints Row games the first one felt like a methadone drip to ween me off GTA. The second one started taking itself a bit less seriously and lucky for us the 3rd and 4th games they completely went off the rails and made it batshit insane, which is part of why I love the series…

Oh man, I'm having flashbacks. A friend had loaned this game to me in grade school and I proceeded to crack out on it for weeks. Sadly this game was a gateway drug to WINBACK, which had horrible shoulder button system, but once you got used to it the control you had was amazing.

When it gets down to it — talking trade balances here — once we've brain-drained all our technology into other countries, once things have evened out, they're making cars in Bolivia and microwave ovens in Tadzhikistan and selling them here — once our edge in natural resources has been made irrelevant by giant Hong…

For older platter drives at work that I'm decommissioning I use "Dban" (Darik's Boot and Nuke) it's open source, free and pretty easy to use. What it does is it deletes everything on your drive, then fills the drive up with randomly created files, then wipes it and does that a total of 3 times. The main issue is its…

Gah!? Serial killers can't make that scary of a face.

Nintendo could have done an even bigger favor and just made the port a micro USB for charging if they don't want to include their own proprietary power adapter.

It also helps to use a website/plugin like camelizer to see price history for items at Amazon, I often see sales for stuff on Amazon from deal sites where they say $200 off normal price, when they actually mean $200 off of the manufacturers suggested retail price and is only $20 off the normal price amazon sells it at.

Or if you already have some awesome gloves you love that aren't touch enabled and you're still not ready to join the smartphone master race and just use your nose there's also conductive thread so you can make any gloves work if you're a little crafty...

Or maybe batting gloves for baseball, the cheapo ones are super, super thin leather so you have some tactile sense still. Otherwise I'd also lean toward leather driving gloves.

I gave up on History/Discovery/TLC around the time they started pandering to the lowest common denominator and creating reality TV shows about rednecks, baby beauty pageants and dudes drinking their own piss to survive, although if they could combine all three it would be ratings gold. Redneck piss drinking baby…

It probably figured us squishy humans would be no problem to wipe out, but a planet only inhabited by robots... better deal with that threat before wiping out all the meat bags.

I feel like I'd have to start working out my neck muscles to be able to wear that thing and not look like some kind of floppy headed bobble doll.

it crashes a little too often for me, but when it's working and you got 4-5 other people helping crew the ship it's stupid fun.

I sure hope they've been watching Black Metal Vegan Chef, the world needs more insane cooks...and insane robots!

wait did I hear, "P" Bear... really!?
