Kinja auto-adds GMG-related affiliate IDs to all Amazon links. I can believe it wasn’t Lisa’s intention to have those.

There sure are lots of pixel avatars trying to deflect.

Unfortunately, government does.

But how would that help with Nintendo? They have their Directs. They do have a floor presence but I don’t expect all of their announced titles will be included on the floor.

Fifth grade, 1995 or so. Our computer lab was still mostly from 1990 so the programs were basic, but I think there was some Mario Teaches Typing in there. I was decent and gradually picked up more speed over years of practice.

It looks like NormalBoots itself has gone through some video scrubbing, as well.

Many people can’t learn a lesson without experiencing it, many lessons cannot be fully taught without experience, and sometimes both apply.

Did... did you not watch the movie? McClane is wearing the signboard because a villain threatened to blow something up (or other) if he didn’t.
