Down here in Central Florida pretty much everything is open except the more official places you mentioned. Being the middle of the week means more folks out shopping since they can’t take a long weekend. And the beaches will be mobbed of course.

Only one, and I’ve been married to her for thirty-nine years. Life is good :)

It brings to mind a 1937 review written by Graham Greene about the Shirley Temple movie “Wee Willie Winkie”.

Very cool idea! The video on the Amazon page gives a brief overview of the manual which is rather impressive and educational. I think some of my relatives might be getting this for the holidays.

Publix supermarkets in Florida put out this notice 18 days ago:

Very cool. Thanks for posting about this, it brought back memories of Earl Weaver Baseball on the PC for me.

We tend to take 3-4 week vacations (just the two of us) in our minivan, so we have plenty of room. We did use laundry baskets a couple of times, but found that plastic storage bins of roughly the same size are a better option because they have lids. Now that means anything in there won’t air out as well, but the trade…

According to my wife (who is the expert in these things in our family) we’ll be holding off getting my social security till I’m 70. However, starting at 66 (I’m 64 right now) I’ll be getting an amount equal to half of my wife’s social security payout (she’s three years older than I am and already getting her social…

Origins is much more enjoyable than Unity in my opinion because the main character is more appealing to play. The locale of Paris is pretty cool however and certainly worth a look around. I never finished Unity because I got fed up with the later gameplay that started feeling repetitive and since I had already…

I think of all the AC games I enjoyed this the most, even more than Black Flag or Syndicate. While it lost some of the trick pieces you mentioned I felt that it had transcended the issue that ACU and ACS had, where the gameworld felt like just a series of areas that stood alone and were beaten in sequence. While ACO…

Surprisingly, autopilot/automatic system are very good at their programmed tasks, and very very very bad at anything out of their parameters. And it’s not realist to program them for every potential scenario, while a human can adjust on the fly to pretty much everything.

To be succinct, Boeing’s philosophy is “pilot knows best” and does what it’s told

Curious how much automated systems, when still intact, take over for certain airplanes when there’s an imbalance (lost engine, broken wing, etc.)?

Also forgot to mention that it is the editorial policy of the University of Oklahoma Press to use the term Indian rather than Native American. That was in the introduction of a book I recently read. I’ll try to find the book for exact wording.

Just as an FYI, the word Indian is used as a non-pejorative term by a number of current historians, such as Charles C. Mann and David J. Silverman.

Huh, oddly FC2 is the only FC game that I completed. I got tired of the gameplay during the other ones and couldn’t motivate myself to finish the stories.

It’s illegal in the UK for people performing the same work to be paid differently. As a result, pay gaps like the one at Rockstar North are more an indication of how few women work in the higher echelons of the company.

but Far Cry 6 will be fought with sticks and stones.

Now you got me feeling bad.

Hmm, never thought of that, it makes sense. Of course then there are all those other places that accept it without a signature...
