I’ve been online since 1985, paying CompuServe $6/hour for 300 baud. You don’t know the paaaaain.

Ah, yes. At least their debates are on during the week and when can people are, you know, actually watching and paying attention. Why are all the Dem debates between holidays and football? Cowardly.

You really consider the RNC debates a circus? In what way? And why is the DNC backing Hillary and trying to hide her?

Oh, that’s rich. Translation: “Nobody’s watching, that’s why.” The Republican debates have brought the highest ratings in history, son.

You know, I didn’t even notice the original date you posted that! LH re-ran this article for the new year and that’s how I found it, haha. Thank you for the update and tips! Sounds like you have a great system working and I will be trying your suggestions as I also live alone and have similar snacking tendencies :D…

Somehow I managed to convince my parents to take me and a buddy to go see An American Werewolf in London in 1981. We were 11 and 12. There was much cringing indeed.

That’s what gets me as well, not planning ahead and then regretting it later. Usually ends with a fast-food stop on the way home or something, not good.

You’re right about the memory aspect, it does often feel like someone loaded my brain Matrix-style with someone else’s life or something to that effect.

Yeah! He was definitely too stupid and blindsided by being on a science fiction show set. #youdumbass

They’re not so well-liked for the most part here in AZ :|

I have a subscription to newspapers.com for that very reason. I’ve found tons of articles as well as mentions of family members for genealogical research, plus you can create and save PDF clips from the scanned pages.

Agreed! Always loved the work that went into the packaging of the games back then. Hands down my favorite were the Ultima games, which included a cloth map, spell books with original art, and a metal trinket. Good times.

TravelHalo looks awesome, thank you for that link!

One of the things that’s great about Waze is the downloadable voice options. When Terminator: Genysis came out, they had Arnold provide the Waze voice (if you so chose) and it was awesome. “Incident reported ahead, GET DOWUN!”

+1 for “lollygag.”

I thought the same thing :D But it was still fun to watch, looked like they were having fun.

It was because you had to manage bases across the solar system, and then find a way to terraform Earth to be habitable again. One of the cool features was that some of the planets and moons you established bases on would produce mutations, and eventually one or more would declare independence and attack you :D
