Biden is such a twit. Apparently we’d like to rely on the Middle East again for our oil. Since we’re reliving the 1970’s, the next thing will be 200 hostages while the President does nothing until his successor is announced. Even Europe is backpedaling on green energy, and they don’t have our oil underground. I’m all…

It’s all just for the optics. Like most of his joke of a presidency. 

I guess that’s what I just haven’t fully put together in my head. Game journalism isn’t real, anymore. It doesn’t exist. This site a blog with a few articles as PR for companies. And all the news covered is just to generate clicks, which is why there’s a focus on writing the same Diablo article every few days and…

I’m not saying there’s never a time to clear your cache, but the entire design purpose of a cache is to speed things up. Clearing it will normally (by design) cause some additional slowness as the cache is rebuilt.

hello confirmation bias.

There is no correlation. It does some people good others harm, and there is no generalization applicable.

Yeah I don’t really see that one as being worthy of being on a “worst of” list. The only real potential issue was the pollution part, and even that wasn’t really any worse than just taking your baby to the park or something.

Wait, what’s so bad about that? I recognize you will run into problems like getting arrested if you try to do that with your kids now, but that’s probably more a question of modern society being paranoid than an accurate assessment of the danger. The world is far safer in most places now than it was back in the day.

Not gonna lie, I want and could use one of those baby window cages. Kid loves being outdoors, but our tiny apartment doesn’t give her that option. Let’s bring this one back!

Well my Mom said when she was pregnant with me (long ago in 1965) she was advised to smoke to keep her weight down.
Apparently the thought was a baby weighs 8-10 pounds, so a woman shouldn’t gain much more than that during her pregnancy.

My theory is that sleeping on their backs prevents SIDS because they NEVER ACTUALLY SLEEP.

They essentially did given the percentage of American adults who smoked during that time period.

Not to be the killjoy here, but basically it running via a PC and being streamed to the teeny tiny little screen is not running Doom, IMO. It has to actually run Doom to count.

Sad indeed. I also maintain that the advent of tinted windows in most mini vans / SUV’s also diminishes your desire/ability to stare out the window at the scenery. I spent a lot of time in the way back of our Vista Cruiser with my brother on road trips being able to clearly look out those (except the dark tinted…

My wife and I are in the midst of a 2800 mile round trip by car to see relatives. Plane tickets, once wonderfully cheap, were looking like $700 each way apiece, and we have the schedule flexibility of having our own car with us. It does help that we like a road trip, of course. Took the dog and several bags without an…

My billing rate is a lot more than 10 bucks an hour. 

What Oldsmobile came out with this logo I posted on a BBS that it looked like an Infiniti logo drawn by a dyslexic 6 year old.

There is no amount of money I wouldn’t sacrifice to not be on a bus for 42 hours. I would sell plasma before I took a bus ride that long. The last time I did that was because my choices to get to my location was either a 10k chartered heli, or a 12 hour mountain pass bus ride to my destination in the Himalayas. 

yes, time to spend 40%+ more for a car, so you can “save” money. got it. 

I always find it interesting that people are surprised that the public continues to buy gas. For most places the public transit is garbage or significantly cut back do to staffing/etc. and due to the cost of real estate in a metropolitan area a commute to work is a necessity when remote work isn’t allowed or possible.…
