I think mine cost around $2500, but that was with a 14" color monitor. It was an IBM PS/2 55SX, which had a 386SX, as well as (IIRC) a 40MB hard drive and 4MB of RAM just like yours.

At least Cabbage Patch Kids couldn’t be used as effective melee weapons... must’ve been concussions left and right in that brawl (not that one could tell since it’s Florida, but still).

“It was not Nicole Kidman.

See, that was a joke; I kid, man, it was totally her.”

That would hold if these were a new idea or even a significant improvement on an existing one. They’re not. Yeti’s been making virtually identical mugs for years and they’re not the only ones.

So pricing seems high if you call it a cup, but seems normal if you call it a thermos.

I came here to say the same thing. Gwenpool is a very fun character, which means, I suppose, that the only possibility of her showing up is in a Deadpool movie or maybe a Spider-Verse movie.

I know it was a typo but I kind of love the idea that the main character is a cook rather than a crook. Gives it that extra layer of weirdness.

My use case is even narrower. I use it to get notifications when a package arrives and to check the weather. I use my watch for timers, and I just manually use the Notes app for shopping list stuff.

Yeah, I figured it was a play off “peak oil,” which is, per Wikipedia:

The more concerning number is that there was a 24% drop in scripted series but only a 21% drop overall. If I’m reading it correctly, that means that the ratio of scripted series to “reality” garbage is getting even worse.

That’s what I always figured as well. The presentation was very military from the go even though the core concept and mission of Starfleet wasn’t, plus the original series saw the Enterprise in combat situations which seems like it would feed into confirmation bias there.

I’d be curious to see if Siri pronounces “Lebanon” correctly in that context.😂

I did my undergrad at Syracuse, and that’s where I was first introduced to its awesomeness. They opened one where I lived in PA at the time right around the time I graduated, so I didn’t have to go without.

Agreed, the story’s the thing. I’ll deal with meh graphics for a good/great story but if the story sucks I don’t care how many pixels there are or how many rays are being traced.

It would be much funnier if they tried that but ended up accidentally replicating the TOS accident that split Kirk into an evil version and a mealy mouthed milquetoast version.

Hell yes. One of the many awesome things about Wegmans finally opening around here is that I once again have easy access to Lebanon Bologna.

Exactly. Nothing is “free” but Amazon is both getting an asston of data on anyone who uses Alexa and also actively pushing products at them.

My cats want me to give them a Lebanon Bologna sandwich every time I make one for myself too, but they’re not getting that, either.

I think you’re right, but I (as a general statement) don’t think that everything like that needs an explanation and beyond that I think it’s better if not everything has one.

Good ol’ malicious compliance.
